OH!! Sorry! Well I guess I learned something. That stuff was called saltwater creep. Live and learn that's what is great about this club. I am a blond in real like and it shows up on the computer somehow! LOL Ok let me try this again...I throw that stuff away. Just didn't think it looked...

LOL about the electical outlet!! I didn't even notice that and had to go back and look! Hey I know what it's like Melissa I got out of the Air Force as an E-4 a little over a year ago (to go back to college), the husband is an E-6 in the AF now. We meet there..long story. LOL But anyways good...

I perfer to let the salt disolve in a bucket of water before adding it to the tank. I have never airrated it before but have read that you did that a long time ago. Bucket method for me. I worried adding the salt directly cause I saw it float right down to the bottom and yes it may still...

"Hey comets need love too." That's funny Fishfreek. 8) Melissa congrats on your lovely tank. I really like the black and your wall-o-bubbles! I wanted to do that in my freshwater tank at work, but hadn't got to it yet. Fishfreek is the man. He gave some good advice for ya. I concure with...

Thank you for your input. Of course I am monitoring the levels and everything is fine now. Yes I meant Fish or corals. What else would I have meant? :lol: I wouldn't stress about putting snails or crabs in there, and already have 2 serpant stars, but I didn't make that clear. I have quite a...

Ok it's been a week and the tank is fine (minus one linkia star :( ) and I wanted to get started on it again. It's been on hold for the 6 months we spent waiting for our house. You know I didn't want to add anything to the tank before the move. The less that could go wrong you know. So you...

oh no I don't add the salt directly to the tank. I learned that from you guys a long time ago. I had it in a bucket of tank water dissolving for a while before I let the hubby add it a little at a tome. I should had did it, but I can't blame him, it's my fault for being tired and he was trying...

Thank you FishFreek for doing that for me. It's too late, by mid-day he was dead. His legs fell off and then he just feel apart. It was horrible. I think it's all my fault with the salinty change to quickly. I was in a hurry to get that tank back togather. Live and learn I guess, I just feel...

Help!! I noticed this morning that my linkia star has a bubble on it's leg. My first thought was salinity burn. When we moved of course I couldn't save ALL the water but I got 80% so I needed to add salt and my husband did it. He usually helps me out and does a good job but I think it went up...

Thank you!! I think I will just start another post about helping me pick a wet/dry. Gina :angel:

Ahhh Thank you!! I like your idea. I will start to donate Kudos when I feel appropriate. I noticed that a long time ago and wondered and figured I would ask. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I must have missed that when you posted about it. Gina

What are those Kudos that we have when we reply to something? And what does it mean to donate them? To who? Gina

Hey Jenn!! I was reading about all this black clown stuff. Very interesting. I have also seen what you are talking about in a LFS here. I couldn't believe how gorgeous that fish was. It look like a perc but was ALL black and white. Very pretty. I will see if I can find out what it's called from...

Ok I did it!! I moved that tank to the new house with NO casualites! YEAH!!! Thank you all for your advice with this in this club and the old Yahoo club. I had been dreading this every since we signed that contract back in Feb. But it went well, but really kicked my butt and the hubby's. Not to...

Welcome to the club! There is broad range of experince here so ask away! :BIG: Gina AKA Fishgirl

Thanks for your thoughts. I did a big water change and also watched the CBS a lot. My guess is it could have been the molt or that strawbeery crab I have. I am suspecting him of murder lately. He's going when we move. Blue Abyss told me about what her strawberry crab did to her corals. Well the...

Fishfreek, Blue Abyss is the person I was telling you about. I am glad you came over here now!!! :lol: (have know her for a long time and she's helped me alot with my tank) Gina AKA Fishgirl

Ok I am just having a horrible time with my freshwater tank at work. The saltwater at home is 10 times easier than this. I wonder if it's this water here in town. But anyways I have this fancy goldfish who when I bought him was all gold and white. Now last week his gills started to turn brown...

I book marked that! Thanks! Gina 8)

My Coral Banded Shrimp has really grown since I got him a few months ago. I mean his antenna span was huge! Maybe 6-7 inches. But as of this weekend he looks like someone gave him a haircut! LOL I hope he's ok. You think maybe he molted and the whole antenna didn't make it over??? My other...

Thank you for your reply. You are right 3 of 4 of the guppies didn't make it. I was upset about it. I have a theory of tail rot? What do you all think? It's just odd that one of them lived through it. It wasn't ich either. Gees I don't have nearly as much trouble with my S/W tank! I got a fancy...

Ok I started out with 4 fancy guppies in a 5 gallon aquairum at work. I went ahead and added this 2 other fish that the pet store assured me won't bother the tails of my fancy guppies. Well of course one of the females got pregnant and I saw her all the way through and am now raising some cute...
