    Heating water before going in the aquarium

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for your fast reply! AND you were so kind to have included the link! I have already placed my order and I can't wait to get it! They said to expect it by Jan 17th. In south Alabama we don't have much need for bucket heaters.... In fact, I've never...

    Heating water before going in the aquarium

    I need to purchase a heater for my already mixed RO water before putting it in my aquarium. I keep my system on a porch area and the water is much cooler than the aquarium water. I've used aquarium heaters but they haven't helped much. I would like something larger (fast) that I don't have to...

    Ruby Red Dragonet behavior

    I've only had this little guy for @2 weeks. He pretty much sticks to the rocks and often times I have to look hard to find him. My tank has been set up for @ 3 years. I used sand from my tank that's been set up for @ 12 years to seed it so I believe it should have a pretty good stock of pods...

    How to find a pistol shrimp

    I added a watchman goby and his pistol shrimp to a 30 gal tank a few months ago. They had been together in a 2 gal. tank for a couple of years. They swam away when I dropped them in (after acclimating, of course). The goby has been eating and hiding in the rocks but I have seen nothing of...

    Issues Between Young Damsels

    The chromis is the least aggressive damsel. I've seen several of them cohabit quite peacefully. My bet is that you are right & the other damsel just beat him up. I have never been able to keep chromis damsels alive for very long, never had a problem with other damsels. I have 2 blue w/...

    What to do about diatoms

    Thanks for all your help.... I found a unit at Bulk Reef Supply that will also make drinking water..... it's more expensive but since we've been looking for something to filter our drinking water, a better deal for us (& easier to sell to my husband). Since Greg mentioned the cost of replacing...

    What to do about diatoms

    Thanks for the advice. I have looked for a RO filter but gave up. I can't really afford the big units. Someone at my fish store suggested something RVs use. I never could find one and then just forgot about it. When I i was looking for one it was not for this problem.... just wanted one for...

    What to do about diatoms

    I have been told that the brown dusty covering on my rocks, sand, coral, and anything else horizontal is diatoms. "No problem," I'm told, "cut down on feeding' and "it may be your water." This tank has been set up for over 10 years. I had the problem once before (slightly, compared to this) -...

    Aptastia popping up in inconvenient places:(

    Thanks... Thanks for the advice. I had noticed that my yellow star polyps are not as plentiful as before & just assumed that the Kaulk (same as Aptasia X, I'm told) was burning some of them as it flaked off..... so, maybe not. Thanks again.
