if you call in will they make special orders? or do they charge extra

That makes sence and i was thinking that because it puffs up when the lights turn on, but it usually shrimks down before the lights turn off. Does this mean there is light on it for too long?

There is a few bristle worms on the rock I recently added. How important are they to a system? I retested the water and ammonia is down to zero nitrate is still 20, but I am going to do another water change tonight. Will work on a picture, but it is "deflated" now

Is it normal for the tree leather to inflate and deflate? It did this a few times over the period of a day. The shrimp are small and all eaten within 30 seconds. Noticed a few bristle worms, are these fine to have in the aquarium with coral?

Iv'e been giving around 10 mysis shrimp every day about. Should I reduce their diet slowly or all at once? The leather coral appeared to open up, but the gsp are still hiding. on the firefish, they are sharting to show yellow coloring in their red is this normal?

I noticed that, ended up picking a few out for cheap. How long was the frag tank there before it cracked?

There is 2 firefish along with three hermit crabs, but i've seen all of them in the past day. I was feeding daily, but will now do every other day unless I'm sure that they need more. Would it be better to feed a little everyday or more every other day? I cycled the tank with a pair of damsels...

Will the coral not open up until ammonia is zero and nitrate is down? looking at some of the live rock I purchased to hold the algae down I noticed some zoos on them. If they are not in the lighting they require will they die and pollute the tank. Should I move them to the display?

Ro/Di water. What is a realistic nitrate range to aim for?

I purchased a ball of Chaeto algae and put it in a refugium. How long will it take to lower the nitrate level? I did not re-test nitrate after the water change how long should i run the carbon filter?

I do 10% a week, but have been feeding more and thet probably isnt enough... Where do I get carbon...can you get it in like a HOB filter even for fresh water(i have a freshwater activated carbon pad)? It's Aqua-Tech EZ-Change Filter Cartridge , contains pure activated carbon

It's a 10 gal. with a 3 gal refugium if u wanted to call it that. It's been up and running for 3 months and contains about 17 lbs of liverock. The leather has sorta branched out and sometimes it "deflates" putting out a foggy liquid. After the water change ammonia read .25 so thats a relief...

At the fish store they were having a sale so I bought some GSPs and a tree leather i think its called. I also added a baseball size mass of chaeto algae and a pound of live rock to fasten it to. Now when I tested my water before I got them all readings were good accept nitrate which is always...

I was talking about the juice because i've noticed a few very small anenome looking things, about the size of a pencil tip (or smaller). Today was the first day i did not see them in there though.

for now its doing good, i want to switch stands so that could be complicated. think i will just drain most of the water and move it fast. hopefully someday i will be able to get some coral there, but that will take alot of time and work. what do you think of petland and their service?

nitrates are around 20 and im hoping to get them down to 0, plus i think it would look cool. if you just have to make shure its in its mouth then y doesnt it kill all the pest anemones? Where do you get calcium hydroxide? do you use it the same way as joes juice?

sounds good, i can get that off almost any website right? it must be injected with a syringe correct? i have a quick question as to would it benefit my 10 gallon to put a 4"dsb in a refuge or would that still mess with the water chemistry?

i have had no luck at all with shrimp, both died right after acclimating

i want to keep them alive but if theres too many wont they starve? plus i think i see astapia, what do i do to control that?

iv'e only been changing the water once a week and 10 %. should i do this twice a week but, or once with 25%? What do featherdusters eat exactly?

is there a way to control them from covering the front glass, or is scraping them off the best way to go?

lately I have realized that there are alot of white calcium dots on the glass of my aquarium. I did recently purchase live rock that had some calcium tube feather dusters. The dots have been growing and each start out as a spiral, at the end f this spiral there is what appears to be the head of...

When calibrating I thought the calibration fluid was supposed to read 0, but the screw wouldn't let it go that low. So I guess it could have "stuck" since the fluid was supposed to be at 35 ppm which took me a few minutes to figure out :S How would dropping the refractometer affect it unless the...

thechad, When you say it would not zero were you using calibration fluid or distilled water? Just curious to how a porecelain crab would react to hermits and firefish? Are they easy to keep?

Well This time I tried a peppermint shrimp. Did a 45 minute acclimation, but it still died shortly after being introduced to the tank. I did switch the damsels for two firefish, they appear to be doing fine. I have a mini-star fish living in my aquarium, why cant a shrimp???
