Anyone else have any more answers or ideas? Thanks George Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you all for responding. Yeah I was planning on doing brine cultures pretty regularly. I just wasn't sure if I could start growing brine shrimp out in the tank now in preparation so there will be a high population to start out with. You really think the nassarius will harm the ponies? I...

I am interested in the idea of starting a dwarf seahorse tank (well my girlfriend is more than me). I have a 10g tank that has been set up for a month or so with about 7lbs of dry rock and a little of an inch live sand. My goal is to take this slowly. Right now the tank has some nassarius snails...

It's a 55g. Should be getting a house sometime next year and can set up my 125 finally. :). Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I appreciate all of this. According to liveaquaria that star is reef safe. The substrate is a mixture of gravel and sand. I have took out a lot of the gravel since losing my star. I've got my nitrates down to 5ppm and am going to wait until my tank is a year or so old before getting another...

I've read about deworming with potassium permanganate. Just to make sure internal parasites are gone. I decided against getting any more of the cucumbers since, as you know, I have no idea what they are or what they eat. Can anyone ID the snails in the pictures? They look like some breed of...

A lot of the livestock sold is ocean caught. I would assume as long as it's quarantined and dewormed, as long as everything checks out in the qt for a month should be fine. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I want to buy one but my lfs doesn't have them and keeps trying to order for me. But I don't think I'll worry about that one anyways. Thank you all for the replies and thank you mr x for the resource! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I guess main question is, is it definitely some kind of cucumber? And of course if anyone knows what type that would be great, I just wanted to make sure. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

St helena island in South Carolina. He ended up dying (expelled insides) bc I only have a bucket with a small filter until I get back home. I've looked up flora and fauna for st helena and there's no mention of cucumbers. Did catch a pretty northern puffer fish today with my net and found a big...

That's just the bucket I caught everything in. They are separated now, was just wondering about the possible cucumber. He sprays when I move him. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Gonna start fowlr and eventually work up to sps

You need a test kit. They are like 30 bucks at pet stores but usually cheaper online. They also have test strips which are cheaper but aren't always accurate. You have to add some source of ammonia to cycle it for the bacteria to grow. A piece of shrimp or fish food will work just do some...

I would just start my cycle and by the time it finishes you should be able to pick up a heater from Walmart for like 10-15 bucks. Your cycle will take a few weeks or so, so it shouldn't be hard to save for that. While it's cycling just google 10g fish or do some window shopping so you will know...

Hello all, I currently have 4 tanks, 1 10g shrimp tank, 1 10g sw tank, 1 55g fw tank, and an empty 55g sitting in my garage. The reason I haven't set up the other one is because I need a stand and stuff. So here is my main questions. How durable is the stand in this link Aquarium Stands &...

I started a 10g saltwater tank back in July and just added my first corals last week. I only added yellow polyps and dragon eye zoas. I am currently running two 6500k CFLS in the stock hood. I have a glass hood on the way from drsfosterandsmith and have been shopping around for a new fixture. I...
