    tiger conch pooping too much?

    i only have 1 tiger conch in my 20 long, and all this time i never saw him. I would maybe see him once or twice a week, but my tank is very dirty with 'sand' every week. I finally came to the conclusion it was all done by him, the snail i never see, has poop all over my rocks, mainly the ones in...

    is it safe to use ro water as long as it has 0 tds?

    my ro/di unit is reading 0 tds, but i ran extremly hot water through it and i think messed up my membrane because my pressure gauge isnt working and the clean water comes out 2x faster than normal BUT, the tds is still 0. I am filling up my buckets as we speak and will use it, but im worried...

    Anenomes

    you can get an anemone first but u have to wait 6 months at least before adding one, also ive had one for 3 weeks and it started moving so youll never be fully safe! at least until the anemone becomes happy, but things can cause it to move right now its about to godzilla on my mushroom
