I've got snails multiplying like crazy in one of my units at petco (Marineland MARS system. I know loaches and some other fishes will eat snails, but since they're in the sump and filters and everywhere else, a preditor is not a vyable solution. I hate using chemicals, but in this case I don't...

Thanks, RR. They look nice. Mine have been completely closed for a while (and some disappeared, I guess died). But I'll keep an eye on these and see how they adapt to the new conditions. :)

I've got a small rock of brown button polyps that I moved from my main tank to my nano. They were doing very poorly in the big tank, as the lighting was probably insufficient, and nitrates a bit high. The polyps have been closed up for quite a while, but presumably still alive (they're still...

Problem solved. The system clock was set wrong, so cookies were expiring immediately!

I do use a Whisper with no cartrigde to break the surface. You don't think that's helping?

LOL! :mrgreen:

The algae tablets is a good idea. The crabs WILL devour them, and they don't break down too quickly in the tank.

Too funny!!! Just so you know, I've abandon the idea of using the sea water for the purpose I had intended (doesn't mean I necessarily won't try it at some point). My intention was to use it for water changes to slowly bring up the pH. I'll continue to examine the sea water, but in the...

I'll be back on Monday to help.

A few questions: Do you have live rock in the tank? How much? A skimmer? How many fish were in the tank? What kind and how big? Any new additions before the Ammonia went up? Any deaths? What test kit are you using? Is it within expiration?

Has anyone here used the salt water that they sell in boxes, that's taken from the pacific? It comes in a 5 gallon cube, and sells for about 10 bucks. The reason I'm considering picking up a cube, is that my nano, despite alk and calc being fine, the pH is very low. This water is pH 8.3, so by...

True. I have to leave now. I'll sleep on this...

I don't suppose I could get the text file from someone else and plant it manually... :idea:

Hey, all you help is appreciated! Unfortunately, there's some red tape involved in that, since this is a corporatecomputer! :twisted:

They are separate functions. But the second isn't Local Internet... It's Local Intranet. Different animal. What I don't understand, is why I can accept cookies from other sites, but not this one...[/b]
