Saltwater & Reef

No not really. They just need shade and less than perfect water conditions. Definitely more difficult than I thought.

Yeah I would have to move some rocks to give it shade but that's not a big deal.

I was on the other forum and tasked about my nitrate and they said 20 is actually about 5 cause it says in the instructions that other tests give readings 4.4 times lower than api

Not the first time I've heard that too

apet66 · 03-23-2013, 06:35 AM

That's good then. Mine reads 5 with the API test.

Nuisance stars! I have them and my brother has them. They're not a problem until they get very large.

Edit: I stand corrected. Not sure if you've read this, but it may be a good thing to take note of. Fortunately, I've never had this experience, but apparently it happens.

Well found out today I only work 3 days this week and 3 days from here on out.

I guess I'm going to have to sell off my saltwater tank :-(

I lost my unemployment and my side job when I came to work here now I am going to be bringing in what I was on unemployment and the guy I was doing side work found somebody else

I'm freeking pissed I almost walked off this evening

I'm losing $240 a week I won't even be able to touch my bills with what I'm making now.

The reason I got cut is they begged me to come back after 5 years of being gone cause one of their deckhands went to jail. Well he got out and they gave him his job back
