Thankx Mike for your(as usual)timely response! Being as how the previous question did'nt seem to make me feel like a blithering idiot...(snik)...I have another for "you"...."you" knowing the history of "my" tank somewhat more than most A/A'ers : Same question as...

I've been reading about changing-out substrates etc and a question came to mind which has always been lurking......... "what" is the difference that separates "live" sand from any other ?? I assume that my substrate "had-to'have-been' live at one point,due to the years and love put into the tank...

Curious as to your Ammonia level(s) reading (??)

SW "are expensive....so-to-speak but I've done my 100gal re-build s-l-o-w-l-y over time....onna 4-person family (w/baby on the way) budget... (me only part time employed...to date)taking my time..taking advice from A/A members and have created a beautiful thing that the whole family enjoys.At...

Does anybody know of a website I can visit to check out just exactly "What" is a Moorish Idol ??

Well with a see-through head like that perhaps its easier for the Mrs. to see what you're thinking ! :-)

Personally "I" don't feel qualified to respond about your "fish"-stock...but I will suggest hermitt crabbs. My tank...(which is 100gal.)...acquired the same problems w/diatoms.The placement of 5 hermitts(and 5 Naus,-snails) has kept "ALL" such things in check.( I would research any post about...

My clowns have eggs attached to their little (dead) coral area !!! What do I do now !!?? .... Leave 'e there and section off a part..."THEY RE " part of the tank...with screening or something simular...??? Or pull them...and their little brood out and set up another quarenteen (sp?) tank.(I...

HarrY Gross here.....origionally from San Berdoo....now residing in Bigbear. There is a great LFS in Redlands/Loma Linda area Called "Petsworld". Owned by a coupla brothers. Good advise...no high presure sales...willing to discuss ANYTHING...always takes time out for "me" whenever I'm down...

Go FOR IT !! WOW !! A tank that size is any TRUE (SW) enthusiasts dream come true. You could call it "The Arnold Schwarts-a-tank !! (snik) :-)

I sometimes get the same/simular green water deal.But PWC's "always" clears "MINE" up. W/a 100 gal display (+) a 25-30 gal sump a 30% change is pretty-much manditory. Luckily over time I've figured out a way to do the 30% change w/salt water....then add 2-3gallons of fresh into the...

Okay..........folks this is "ALL" my bad. My comments about listening to Moderators was is no way meant as a slight on any body elses knowledge...experience...etc. After re-reading it...and looking at in in a different perspective...I can understand that it may have seemed as tho I was saying...

I have no idea WHAT you mean here. Are you telling me to be quiet or what ?? I KNOW all too well that I've alot to learn.....but don't understand What it is YOU are saying.....that I have alot to learn about.:confused:

I agree w/Ahab about "bacteria-build up" and his suggestion about LR.My suggestion about re housing was mostly for the benifit of having everybody out of the way while you're doing your thing with set-up and teardown experiments.I've recently learned-.....(anything "I" know about SW= = makes me...

if you have another (smaller) tank...I'd simply set it up as a QT tank to house your critters while the tank cycles.(done correctly the cycling process should only take a coupla weeks)instead of taking your fish BACK to the LFS. A 10 gallon would likely be perfect. W/proper lighting and PWC's...

Hi Rikesh. This is a VERY kool advice site !! I've only been around a coupla months now...yet have acquired soooooo much info and GOOD advice that my once dead 100 gallon reef display tank is up and running and I have virtually no fears about any thing which may going wrong thanks to A/A !! I am...

Yes.....very nice. I'm envious

Just an uneducated suggestion for attempting to TRIGGER a behavior which may generated (aggressive)sound: >>> Recently caught a friend pesturing the fishtank w/a laserlight....(usually reserved for playing with the family cat).Some of the damsels were all over it....the (orange spotted)Goby had...

Thank you for the input !! I belive that I can see a lion on the horizon for my future.....Providing that at the time of purchase there are still some of the smaller ones AVAILABLE that I'd recently seen at the lfs. ...'Will post photos when the event happens.(I'll letcha know personally K ? )

So......."what' is it that you feed him....and what kinda variety ...how often do you change things up.Basically I'm intrested in your whole formula.(Its likely that my infatuation w/them will be the undoing of all of this planning and rebuilding....(snik)...I think that they are just about the...

I am sooooooooo in love w/these guys !! Really.really want one for my 100gal display...."BUT" not so much so as to have him eating everybody who got here first. I''ve recently heard something about..."if other fish are smaller than his mouth-they'll be okay" sorta thing.(??) If this is...

IMO it would seem as though the only POSSIBLE sourse of the ich could be the PURCHASE water.Our lfs dose'nt sell pre-made water....thank God!!Not that I'd buy it any how. Sorry for your difficulties.-

I am currently researching simular issues. IMO T5...T5...T5 !!!....(+) 3-5 wats per gallon actnic(+) Daylighting.(soft corals will do good on 3 or so watts per gal.The harder your corals the more wattage per gallon you'd want to have . Day lighting can vary as long as the aforemention parameters...

No plans for new additions to date.(the Tang was'nt eeeeeven 'a-plan') If anything new comes home it'll be a cleanershrimp. This is a rebuild project.Its next "PLANNED" stage is "lighting and coral installation"....THAT I "HAVE" been doing my homework about....and first and foremost have learned...

So far everybody excep the goby (of course) seem somewhat afraid of him/her.He/she forced the larger chromis outta its sleeping spot and completely took over that little section of the tank. I've been making a brine shrimp-or bloodworm/Spirulina coctail in the a.m. to feed the whole tank.This...
