ok thanks. guess i'll just keep adding live rock then. i like having him in the main tank.

I have a chocolate chip star in my tank and want to start adding coral. I have been told not to, the star fish will eat them. anything it wont eat? there are some great local deals on coral right now and i wanna get in on it.

I want some more LR, but my wife disagrees with me. I have a local place that sell LR for $7/lb and is already cured.

Haven't decided yet on going reef.

mushrooms good/bad?

My first SW after years of FW tanks. been up running and cycled since october '08. can anyone id these orange growths on the rock?

Thanks guys, will be going out this morning to get some things for the tank.

I just put water in the tank a couple hours ago. Instead of buying the pre-mixed seawater, i bought bulk salt. Just haven't put it in yet. Also what are you all running in your filtration? Will salt be slowly diluted by using certain kinds of filtration media?

Well......finally did it after getting rid of my 2 fw tanks awhile back. Picked up a 46gal bowfront, stand, fluval canister filter, crushed coral substrate, heater, digital thermometer, hydrometer, test kits,.....and on and on. Got it all set-up, water in it, heater is wamring it up, filter is...

I was amazed when my username/password still worked, most forums boot you from the system after so long inactivity. I will picking your brains shortly on my new aquarium build, SW. I have been running fresh for almost 4 years and ready to go the next step.

^^^ I have tried, but to no avail. He destroys any egg sacks before they can hatch. I even tried to breed a bunch in a seperate container, but they lasted all of a few days.

Bag them up and send them to me! LOL My DP loves snails for well.....every meal of the day.

I have way to many Red Wag Platies in my 20 gal, I have a breeding pair that is breeding like rabbits. Too many fish in tank. Anyone want some? Local only come pick them up. E-mail thoggard@gmail.com

Shoulda brought the driftwood to Seattle with you I would have taken it off your hands when you got here.

It wasn't the ghost shrimp. That tetra died of something else and the shrimp decided to snack on it.

DP's love snails. I had a huge overpopulation of snails in my 10 gal, added 1 DP and the problem has never returned. I added 5 shrimp to the tank a month ago and he didn't bother them. So they went into my 20 gal, and my mollies took care of them. With no snails in the tank my DP now feeds off...

So last night I'm sitting on the couch, I glance over to my 20 gal, and what do I see. 2 Red Wag Platy fry swimming around the driftwood. I have no idea how long they have been there, since there are plenty of good hiding places in the tank. I have only seen two, but there may have been more I...

Mine eat frozen bloodworks, snails, and live ghost shrimp.

Thanks a lot! I really like the look of it. My plants are growing so much, and I even have a few small ones popping up out of the gravel.

Pic taken today of my 20 gal. Only 2 fish in it currently (2 Dalmation Mollies) the tank just cycled about 3 weeks ago, dont want to stock it too fast. How does it look?

Was my translation ok? Mollies are great for a 29 gal community tank, I have 2 dalmation mollies by them selves in a 20 gal right now. Very active fish, and easy to maintain, they are not as sensitive as other fish to water parameter changes.

:roll: I will try to translate: Hi, everyone. I'm looking for some help with deciding on what fish I want. I want to know which fish I can keep together. I want a community tank or a gourami tank. Can anyone help me with a stocking list? Thank you very much. I have a 29 gal tank with live plants.

That 10 gal will be a fry making factory. Guppies reproduce like rabbits. I'm with Zagz, a 2 to 1 ratio should be good.

I'm using AquaSafe. It says it removes chlorine, chloramine, etc. It will be a few days before I can go to the LFS to get them check it. I'm back to work in the morning for 3 straight days.

OK, here we go. Did a 5 gal PWC this morning in the 20 gal. Ammonia reading of 4.0ppm :evil: Yet the in tank monitor is reading 'safe' for the level. I'm guessing my test kit has gone bad :?:
