went to several around but no luck on them having them. I've got one Queen konch in here but algae has taken up the sides of the glass and tubing and such. Think i should just get a seastar?

everywhere on-line wants me to buy like 30-50 bucks worth at a time. Anyone know a place where i could just get a few mexican turbo's? My lil tank is getting very algae ridden. I need something to kill it.

Well it already has algae all over the rocks and bottom and now up about 3 inches on the sides all the was around lol.

Guys a friend of mine has a 55 gallon setup he isn't using. I figured I'd clean it up and put some sw in it :). I live close to the ocean. I'm always down there fishing and such. I was wondering if it is ok for me to maybe grab some of the sand and rocks from there and put them in the tank. Off...

One other thing. My fish looks like 3 small bubbles of puss on his body. Which seems kinda odd. I thought maybe because he stays in the rocks a lot but then again that sounds silly. He's a Firefish. I'm kinda worried and the pet store was closed today to tomorrow I will be replacing 30-40% of...

how many snails do you need per Gal of tank? for a 10gal tank would 1 snail do?

well let me ask this. Does coral that is sick move a bunch? This one seem to be moving around quite a bit. While staying in the same place that is. The film seems to be almost finished coming off and i now see a more textured and colored surface underneath.

yep I'm gonna do that today!

not atm. When my roomate gets home i'll borrow his camera and then take a shot.

um his state hasn't changed much. It looks liek there is a slight slime/skin coming off him. Also there is a slight shiny look on it as well. Like the light is kinda gleaming. I went to the store and they gave me some Liquid Calcium where he said that a few drops a day in my tank will slowly...

i did just change out some of the water. This setup has not been running very long. What can bring the nitrate down? This might sound silly but tomorrow I was wanting to put a mexican turbo snail in to clean the algae that has been growing on the side of the tank. What do you think? What is a...

Ok i went and ran a test and here is what i got... Nitrate: 40ppm Hardness: does this matter? Alkalinity: got a blue so i'm guessing 300 or more ppm pH:looks around 7.4

yes it has good water flow with where the pump is located. This exact setup has been running int he store for some 8 months that i've seen it now with no problems. He says because of the liverock it takes care of itself so long as i change part of the water on a regular basis. The only thing...

Thank you very much for welcoming me to the forum. I do not have all of the information that you are looking for but here is what I have to offer as of right now. The lighting is very good. The tank is a small 5 gal tank with one fish and 6lbs of liverock. Looks great and the lighting is...
