oh no I haven't added any other fish to the tank yet. As for the snail no I didn't acclimate to him. Maybe I should have, I figured he would have been a little tougher then that lol but I am learning as I go ,, and thank you for the information on it.

well I thought they put the font settings here for people to change things up once in awhile, gheesh I didn't know it would bother anyone. and what is drip acclimate?

Well I am working up to getting sea horses and different star fish, they are in no way aggresive and very slow eaters so I'll have to let the damsel go, they will never get food if I kept the damsel. Just sea horses cost so much I want to make sure everything is going to work perfect before I...

the tank is doing wonderful.. I have had a damsel in it for the past week and it is doing great. the ammonia levels is great, and so is hydrometer level. The live sand is turning a dark brown on top for some reason though I don't quite get, I guess it just does that. but everything is great.. :lol:

It's all cool :) I am not as frustrated as it might have sounded just a little disappointed in myself. I have everything at the right levels and doing good and holding strong. I am just taking one day at a time and patiently waiting with just seashells, sand, and live rocks in there. along with...

I am really starting to rethink this saltwater thing cause the more I read on it and the more I hear from you guys on here the more annoyed I am becoming with it all.

Oh my gosh lol I almost forgot about that.. Ok I will get to that right away. But I will have to wait till middle of week to get prawn and put in.. I live out in the country,, so close store sells seafood lol I know terrible right?? :lol:

Ok so here I tried to add a pic we will see if it worked.

Well u will see now what I have SINCE I am finally adding pictures. but it says I have to have a url for it. their just pics on my computer how do I put them on here for you to see?

well thanks so much you guys!! paul I have took out the air hose, so the water is calm and only getting movement from what the pump is putting back in. I HAVE took pics and I am posting them in just a few minutes. We are heading to the beach next week for a few days, if we get live rocks or any...

Well thought I would let you know the tank is almost clean, just white lint looking particles floating around, sand is settled down, still can't get the hydrometer thing to read down low enough to put my live rocks in. I'm a bit scared to still try.. last check the reading was 1.027 so I don't...

ok I sure will posts pictures as soon as I figure out how ha! I'm just now learning this whole site. and I thank you so much for all your help!!!! I'm going to go do what u said and see what happens... I will repost later when i get the conclusions to this doing :)

started mixing the salt last night with water as it was going into the tank around 10 pm. then as I couldn't see anymore salt in bottom of tank and well mixed I added the live sand .

so having this higher number means to much salt is added? In the bags of live sand I got also came these small packs called bio-magnet clarifier. do u know exactly what that does for your tank? cause it tells me not to put it in till all my decor. is put in

the temp is only 80degree. and will the BIO spira work to help it cycle? since it has LIVE nitrifying bateria in it?
