mine got very very big. she ate well and was close to the 3 inch mark before she died. :cry:

live brine maybe to start. or if you got it from your lfs, ask them what they feed.

If its a FOWLR then a good salt mix is enough. I have Kent and I wont look back. Theres really no point in buying supplements. As with your trites, bring a sample to your lfs to get the reading double checked. Just save you money for really good lights or some coral in your going reef

DIY perhaps

magnets are great because they also double thier use as a veggie clip if you ever get an herby

if u stick with a hydrometer, make sure u make note of this point. not only do u need a flat surface, but u need a LEVEL suface. if the surface slants to the right, you'll get a lower reading if the surface slants to the left, you'll a higher reading HTH

well my tank has recently switched over to RO water which might contribute to the dusters' happiness. if anyone has pics of "newborn" feather dusters, could you perhaps post a pic or two so I can see what it looks like. btw, if anything is having offspring, its the coco worm. the little guy...

anyone????

So I came home this weekend and I saw that there were these tube like things growing almost all over my rocks. I noticed it was in areas that didnt have as much flow to them, like the rocks on the very end of the tank and in between multiple rocks. Its like a .5 inch cylindrical tube. Its...

Its better to add it with a meaty mush so fish get a more well rounded meal.

remember to cut the pieces of shrimp small so its not regurgitating it later

i dont think its possible for those params to exist. With Ca that high, your alk should be ridiculously low and then your ph should drop with it. The only given that your alk and ph are in reason, your ca test is probably wrong. What test kit are you using for calcium? Also, retest your ca...

I was thinking of adding a little bit more layer to my susbtrate. I currently have this http://www.thatpetplace.com/Products/KW/F43/Class/Fish+Supplies+Gravel/T1/F43+0532+0009/EDP/1832/Itemdy00.aspx I was thinking of adding either of these two...

If there aren't extra empty shells laying on the substrate, crabs will go after the biggest snail they can find for its shell, especially if it still has alot of growing to do. If there are extra shells, then you probably have an aggressive crab by nature. Experiences like these tend to get...

Feather dusters are hard to get them exactly the way you want them. Just becareful in terms of touching and moving them. Too muh interaction will cause stress and thier crown to fall off. If your sandbed is deep enough, bury them in the sand so the tip of the tube and the crown poke out. I...

Just be sensible in your methods. Spending an hour trying to catch it is almost as bad as just leaving the ich in the tank. More stress can make the ich even worse.

AP isn't too bad. Some people say Seachem or Salifert. Salifert might be too expensive for your budget. Invest in a Seachem Marine Basic Test. Probably around $25. You should test alot when your tank is first set up. But once your tank is mature, and conditions are stable, testing is not...

I would recommend this fixture http://www.thatpetplace.com/Products/KW/F52/Class/Fish+Supplies+Lighting+Fixtures/T1/F52+0047+0798/EDP/34087/Itemdy00.aspx I prefer having 10000K and Actinics. I just like knowing that havng Actinics on 1 hour before and after the 10000K somewhat replicates the...

If your really serious, about an anemone or keeping a reef, get either MH supplemented with Actinics of your stlye (VHO/CF) or the coralife double strip with two 55W bulbs. The former will let you keep almost anything considering you will be adding a great amount of light on a small depth so...

You could also try adding a skimmer to your set-up. it would remove the nutrients before it could be absorbed by the tank thus reducing cyno. I serve my fish the frozen mush everyday but I usually measure enough so each fish gets a few bites and thier enitre meal is eaten within 20 seconds. I...

Throw a hail mary and pray to God that it works (esp if you are cathcing a clown)..... :mrgreen: You could buy the biggest clear fish transporter, the kind fish stores use to get your fish from the tank to the bag. if your fish are eager to eat like mine, put the transporter in the water, put...

have you tried soaking the nori in garlic for a little bit. it might entice his senses. I've heard of a member on RC who has success with his heni this way.

I'm slowly switching over from IO to Kent salt so eventually the ca/alk will balance out for its tube. The only thing is how do I know my tank is mature enough to support the bacteria that it needs to feed on? My tank is about 6 months and I'm afraid that as it gets bigger, its slowly going to...

heres what i mean. its not attached to anything and it didn't come with a pair.

umm yea.... thats the ironic part. My Christmas Tree came by itself, no rock, no coral, no parter. Just one single worm- contrary to literally every post about christmas trees on this forum. Thats why I thought it was a dwarf. Tomorrow when it comes out, I'll try to post a pic of the entire...
