The hardware

As far as sand I would have to say it may look great on the beach but it doesn't look so great in the tank at least not half as good as the sand you buy and definately not as good as it looks dry on the beach

I love sebastian one of my favorite surf spots a little crouded on any kind of a decent wave thouugh. Well as far as your moral dilemma well I've never gotten in trouble but one thing I've learned is NEVER take the [moderator edit]in rocks or coral

I used to get a [moderator edit] of anemones and crabs and snails and shrimp and god knows what eelse for my florida coastal tank out of ponce inlet just south of daytona when I lived there. The only advice i have is you will be really upset when some free fish or invert from the ocean kills a...

I can agree. The possibilities opened even from five to ten gallons are decent incentive with out digging too much deeper into the pocket. Not to mention when you want to upgrade you can just use the ten gallon as a sump like I did lol

Usually disagreed with, but I have always felt that starting with a very small tank and then graduating to a large one is better than big to small. This is because not much money is wasted if one fails time and time again but you learn quickly the practices and problems with saltwater. Not to...

I could probably start a new thread but because it was already mentioned, speaking of yellowish, I noticed when I switched from the coralife bulbs to two geissman true actinics and two 10000k zoomeds my tank got a little yelowish in comparison which bulbs are causing the. The actinics or the day...

Hey your from rhode island "what pot"

So unimaginative. Lol sooo many type of inverts and everyone always looks at them as just cleaners. You could do a great shrimp Pico or a crab with LR and some snails or just do a cleaner shrimp, three or four turbos, five or so hermits and softies. I know its normally called a fish tank but you...

Thanks grizz for the insight on saratoga lfs's. The navy might be sending me to the prototype up there and the tank move from here will be stressful enough so at least I know I have that to look forward to in the way of aquariums that is

I understand. That was pretty much my whole question,should I have a substrate or not and what is the general opinion on a type

I definately agree my main thought was that I have a thirty long so six gallons proportionally is like having a twenty five gallon fuge section on a hundred gallon tank so even though its small it seems like it would definately have an impact

Told you so lol. Probably from the snails.

I don't fully understand the above post but I'm pretty sure I'm doin the miracle mud

Thank you for the input really but I am more than aware of size requirements but I've had it for about six months and when necessary ill trade it in for something else but ill push it for now

If they don't move they have to be eggs, feces, or mold lol

Well that was a pleasant read I can almost taste the aggression. Its wonderfully informative. Its a very small fuge 6 or so gallons in my sump so how much miracle mud would I need and for such a small piece of real estate is it worth it?

As far as fish I have two ocellaris and a smaaalll yellow tang. For a clean up I have one small brittle star about 4inches and was a hitchhiker, six nassarius, 17 or so blue/red leg hermits a coral banded and two emerald crabs and three cetprith snails, I can't seem to find a good place for...

And at least in the pics he's not actually touching it

Definateley a closed brain (favites) and while touching it won't kill it immidiately, if you keep touching it the brain will start to die

On top of the recession, you can see one of its mouths definately chalice(I love my chalice when they are target fed the mouths all open up and slowly suck in a mucous covered mess of what you gave them)

Definately a pod a baby mantis wouldn't eat algae, I don't think, but pods do

You sure the worms that dont move aren't just collections of waste?
