Hi. I don't know if anyone remembers me or not, but I've posted a few questions here and there and found the advice and tips ever so helpful. For this, I thank you all. I believe it's been a very long time since I last posted. I've had my 75gal saltwater/live rock aquarium up for a few...

Wow. Thanks for all the advice! I did take the snail out and get the algae off (without popping it) and wipe the snail's shell down with a napkin before putting it back into the aquarium. I really hope that did the trip. I definitely don't want any nuisances in my tank! Since I had the...

Thanks so much, I just took care of it. It came right off with a knife, and as I was wiping the shell, I noticed a smaller bubble and took that off, too. I'll keep a close eye on my tank; how much and how quickly would this stuff propagate? I don't see it anywhere else, but then again, I...

This is the best pic I could come up with this morning--I've had way too much coffee! Now, when you say to take the snail out and remove it, it should just come right off then? Will any damage be done if it pops? Would it pop? Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure where to post this, but my tank is FOLR, so here goes ... My tank finally finished cycling, and over the weekend, hubby decided to go to the LFS and pick up a few snails and crabs to put in it. I didn't notice until later that one of the snails has what looks like to be bubble...

I know I'm a little slow sometimes ... sorry! Am I supposed to scrub the stuff off my rock as it cures? My water smells horrific, and I know it's from death ... Thanks for being patient with me!

Hi, I just found this board over the weekend. My name is Chris, I'm a almost 33-year old (will be in a couple of weeks) stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of my 11-year old and 3-year old boys. I'm attending school full-time starting this fall, majoring in elementary education. My hubby and I...

I'm just going to get the uncured stuff since that's what I have in my tank and I'm still in the early stages of cycling. As it is now, I have only 23lbs and a long way to go. If I add the recommended 30lbs more this week, that should get me to the point where it'll be good to start adding the...

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Yep, there's a reason for my screen name ;)

If I could save it, I'd love to. I'm in the process of cycling my tank (w/uncured rock). I turned my light off. What else can I do? Also ... once my tank is cycled, won't it die when I start turning my light on? Would changing the angle of the rock help any? Any tips or advice would be...

I went ahead and turned off the light. Our family room faces west and has a sunroom off of it, so the tank's not getting much light at all now. One more question (and I hope this doesn't sound silly): I know that with the rock curing, I'm cycling my tank. Does this mean that I don't have...

Thanks so much for your response. We'll get some more rock this week; I just wasn't sure whether I should do it all at once, or if a little at a time was best. I'd like to go reef, so I'll up the poundage. Thanks for the tip on the lighting; I'll definitely look for what your recommending...

Hi. I know I'm incredibly long-winded, so please be patient with me! I have a 75 gal aquarium that my hubby and I started setting up last weekend. We went to our LFS and bought the substrate, presalted water (the store gave it to us for free, so why not?), and 23lbs of LR. The LR is uncured...

Thanks so much! There really isn't much I can do, is there? I'm off to do some research on this ...

Anyone have any idea what this stuff is? Our tank is one week old as of yesterday; so far we have the saltwater (obviously) and 23lbs of live rock in our aquarium. Could it be die-off? Thanks for looking and for your help!
