Thanks for all of your help out there, but unfortunately this will have to be put on the back burner for right now. I just got word that my 15 year old cousin has passed away and I'm leaving for Atlanta tomorrow. The protein skimmer will have to wait for a couple of weeks due to the cost of...

I was thinking of doing a blackout for a week - but I have 2 firefish that will not come out at all unless the lights are on...... Once a week PWC? - check! Infrequent feedings? - check! RO/DI water? - check! Manually removing hair algea? - check! Cutting back on lighting? - check! Using...

OK - new test kit..... NO3 - 0 NO2 - 0 Ph - 8.1 PO4 - 0.1 (in tank and source water, as well) :( Hmmm........is the PO4 level really high?? What else could I do to lower it?? As for the hair algea, I am going to scrub the rocks today while I do my water change. I am also going to get a...

I am a Store Manager for PetSuperMarket. I actually look foward to getting up and going to work!!

-I am doing a 5 gallon water change once a week using RO/DI saltwater that I buy from Big Al's. I have never run any tests on their water before - I will when I pick some up this weekend. -I feed every other day. One feeding is frozen brine shrimp - then the next feeding is Spectrum pellets...

Couple of questions for you guys!! My Christmas present from my husband this year is a protein skimmer (think I'm gonna go with a Prizm) and live rock. I have a 20 high tank. Before I put the new rock in I want to try and take care of these problems: -I have a hair algea problem. Not too...

I have not been feeding anything at all. I leave the lights on around 8 to 10 hours a day. I only have one of those 5 n 1 quick strips for testing and Nitrate and Nitrite are at 0, Ph is around 8.2ish. I buy my water from Big Als and it reads right at 1.022. I brought the hair algae into the...

I havent posted in quiet a while and my tank has come a long way. I set it up back about 8 months ago. I just added my first real livestock today!! I have a 20 gallon high with: 30 pounds of live sand 25 pounds of live rock 1 powerhead Fluval 204 canister filter 24" double compact flouresant...

I one that looks exactly like that, but he is hitchhiking around on one of my turbo snails :)

"Johnny Cakes" said that he purchased his aquarium as a kit. It probably did say for "freshwater use only" not because of the actual tank, but because all of the sample packs of food and water conditioner that came with it was for tropical freshwater fish. All of the kits that we sell (Pet...

I have a 20 gallon high. Right now I just have a bunch of live rock, 2 hermit crabs and 2 turbo snails. I'll feed just a itty bitty pinch of NutraFin maybe once a week or so.....One powerhead is pointing towards the rock, about half-way down. The out take of my filter (Fluval 204) is at the...

I've always been confused on which skimmer to get since most are rated for much higher gallon tanks.......I actually bought a Berlin Airlift, but it sits so far out from the wall in the tank, that I could not use my lights, so I returned it to the store. Hmmmm.....maybe the smaller SeaClone???

So I have noticed a brown type of film complete with nasty bubbles on the surface of my water in my 20 gallon tank. Is it time to get a skimmer?? If so, what would be the best for a 20 gallon?? Thanks!

So I got my tank up and running back in Feb of this year. I threw in some base rock with just a little live, a couple of damsels, some sand - then called it a day. Now, I have kept up with the water changes, added a couple of snails and small hermies along the way.....just gave my damsels...

Thanks!!

Help!! What is the white thing behind the hermit?? Is this good or bad?? Thanks!

No problem!! :)

Thanks for the help, Fluff!!

So I noticed that there are little white dots on my glass and rocks. After looking at them REALLY close, they look like little shells starting to form. Is this bad?? My levels are: NO3 - 0 NO2 - 0 Alk - 300 Ph - 7.8 Temp - 79 I have a 20 gallon high with two damsels, two turbo snails and 2...

Sorry, edited my post. I get what you're saying ryguy. Yes, my cycle is complete. I just dont like it when people assume things when they really don't know what has taken place. I'm over it now. The only thing that I am going to add is a cleaner shrimp - and I'm gonna wait awhile before...

Well, DragonForce......it seems to me that you are assuming some things and jumping to conclusions. Instead of being all negative by saying you could of said, "Hey free sounds great to me, too. Tell me how you pulled that one off, cause I know a lot of people would like some free rock."...

My cycle is done.....all my levels are normal. I didnt buy LR because its expensive and this rock was FREE. Gotta love free....... :)

Its not live, but I have some live fragments around it and hopefully the color will spead.........hopefully, that is...... :D 15 minutes later...... You can see my damsels, Lavern and Shirley

hmmmm......the adoption way, eh??? I think I could handle that. Most of the animals I have were adopted somewhere along the way. Hey!! Anyone in the Miami area want two damsels?? They come with names!! :)

Hmmm..... maybe ill go with some shrimp. I really wanted a maroon clown (the gold stripe are really pretty), but if the damsels will harass it, then I'll forgo it. Thanks for the help!!
