I live in Chicago and they charge for water at a flat rate of I think $25 per month or something like that but in Chicago if you are renting "like I am" you never see water bills, the landlord pays them. Water is usually included in the rental in 96% of the time. I am mostly interested in the...

Cool, I will look into the AquaFX, thank you for the information on the three main stages I need to worry about. I was looking into having 5 gallon jugs delivered to the house but it'a about $9 per 5 gallons. I think the RO is the best investment in the long run.

What are some recommendations for RO water filters that some of you use for your tanks... Are their any favorite cheap and easy to use filters that any of you recommed?

I have head of them breaking glass or cracking the tank, but I have never seen it myself.

If only you could buy Joe's Juice in bulk at Costco... Maybe get a CBB and raise it in a friends tank till it gains in size and try to introduce it to the tank... just a thought

Thank you everyone, now one more question, I have a Banded Coral Shrimp (Stenopus hispidus) will a Peppermint shrimp get along with it? I assume so since they are both pretty peaceful.

As much as I use Joe's juice and remove aiptasia it comes back in a couple weeks, any ideas on how to combat this issue? Is there some kind of change I can make to my water chemistry or anything else to be proactive?

Thanks steve, I had him in a hold tank till I could ID and I let him loose again seeing as how he is not a threat to the tank. Scientific Name: Stomatella varia Classification: Mullusca Common Names: Description: Stomatella look like a cross between a snail and slug. Their shell is fairly...

Just fund this under a rock, it has a oval shaped hard shell on top, 2 eyes and two feelers/tenticals... It is about an inch long. Any clue as to what it is and if I should put it back in the tank?

Thanks Steve, I will be on the look out... Water is fine and like I said, I have never seen the Hawk advance at anything in the tank. :)

I have seen the carcass's of them all the front parts of the scarlet and the blue tips, and the rounded body shells of the emeralds. The flame hawk has never been agressive towards anything really. Steve, how would I find out if I have a predator crustacean, pistol shrimp or a nuisance crab...

So in the past few weeks I have lost: 2 Emerald Crabs 3 Scarlet Hermits 1 Blue Tip Hermit Is there a predator associated with these deaths maybe? I haven't see or heard any Mantis shrimp, I did see a 3 inch yellow worm awhile back, could that be the issue? Any ideas...?

:x I have had mine for over 2 months and the OC's haven't even looked at it.

Temp is a big factor so remember that... I used 5 gallon buckets from HD for the rock, fish, and corals and they made it fine "except for my sick leather coral but thats due to something else" I only moved about 1 mile away in the city so the fish were in and out and back in again within and...

Thanks Steve, I just ordered some of Joe's Juice... it will take care of the Aiptasia I have as well, I can't believe I missed Joe's Juice. Seems like it is pretty common, I wonder if the Aiptasia close to my leather coral made it sick, I have tried to remove them many times but they come...

I bought to Ocellaris's to start out my tank, one of them died about 3 months after I got it and the other was alone. So after seeing it swim around all by itself for about 2 months I decided to get it a mate. As soon as I added the new Ocellaris it swam over to the other one and haven't been...

I have Rose and it seems to be doing fine after 2 months, he doesn't move around and seems to have settled in a comfortable place. I have 6.4 watts per gallon, the tank raised Ocellaris's don't go near it but that is to be expected.

So my Cannon Powershot is horrible at close up focus pictures so this is the best I could do. These green things appeared out of nowhere on the LR and move around allot, I count about 10 of them throughout the tank. I am wondering what they are and if they are harmful to anything in general...
