Fifty five gallon. I had a decent clean up crew but I have this infestation of snails that seemed to be one reproduction steroids. So they beat everyone out. As for an ro/Di unit that's next on the list.

Go local if u can. I avoid petco like the plague. But its really store dependent. Secondly spending local is the way to go.

Likle has been said live rock is key. But it can be done without but if u do it I would provide for filtration with a way over rated skimmer and filter. And provide your fish with hiding places. Fake plants coral rock etc. Also deepen your sand bed. If u do it. I would take some of that live...

It has been said to boost the fish's immune system. I don't know of its documented but I do it. Also other research states it is particularly effective with the dreaded ich. Supposedly the parasite just drops right off the fish after sufficient treatment

What are dudes credentials? I looked up this nutrafin cycle product and though I am by no means and expert it isn't something I would have used to cycle or add my cycle. I believe a fishless cycle is the most humane and secondly most reliable way to get ur bacteria up to its correct lvls. Then...

Four is a red tube worm. Awesome little critters. Very prolific. Seems everyday I find a new one in my tank

I did some research on the sand my local pet store sells and its dry aragonite so I am going to go with that. Any ideas for sand sifters

Weekly harvest of what? Grow a healthy batch chaeto and use that so u don't end up with an out of control algae bloom

2 Black Ocelarius clowns A lyre tail Molly I converted to salt A yellowtailed Damselfish 2 neon gobies Thanx for the compliments I shall forward them on to Mother Nature. She did the work.

I am looking at switching my substrate to aragonite white sand or something of similar buffering quality. Where do you buy it from? I really would like to avoid paying an arm or leg in shipping costs? And do you know of anything with similar buffering attributes? Post Script: I want to avoid...

Secondly it will clear up ur water

So the other night I was having dinner with my parents and some of their friends. One of the people there is a rock collector who polishes rocks etc. Well about ten years ago he stumbled upon this piece of coral at a garage sale for fifty cents. I showed him my tank and he offered me this coral...

I personally used base rock and add live rock to seed my base and after a year my tank is brimming with life. Try and find a local store or else an online store with flat rate shipping or else shipping costs will bite hard. Lastly I would cycle fishless to be easy on my fish but its up to u...
