I have been told they sometimes don't ship too well, therefore becoming susceptible to infection. Bascially I was told if you find a good specimin and are very careful not to harm the tissue in transit home from the lfs, that they do really well. I've seen a few at my local store that they've...

Ok, I had a container of it arrive today in the mail. I know about the letting sit for 2-3 hours before dripping, and drip it about 1 drop a second or so. I remember reading though about vinegar and kalk. Can someone clarify what is done with the vinegar, what kind, what it does, and how much...

Anybody? Ben

Alright, right now in my 46 gallon I have 2 blue chromis, a yellow head goby, and an extremely mean spotted hawkfish. I want to get a lawnmower blenny to see if he'll attack some of my hair algae. Anyway, my hawkfish though is extremely mean towards new fish in the tank, has eventually killed...

I have close to 100 pounds of live rock and about a 6" sand bed, it is a 46 gallon tank. Should I still do the slow gradual remove of it all? If so, could I clean what I keep in there for the time until it is all removed slowly? or would I run into the same algae problems if I attempt to...

I currently have a CPR protein skimmer. I have had it up and running about 4 months and the bio-bale really needs cleaning. I was wondering if I should just go ahead and take the bio-bale out completely, or clean it and put it back? Any pros/cons to either route? Your advise is greatly...

Ok, one more, what about a finger leather? It may be in danger at some point too, and it's immovable, attached to 2 different rocks now. Thanks for the advice so far.

Pretty soon my xenia will be touching my yellow polyps, and my frogspawn is close to my button polyp colony. Are there any problems with any of these touching one another, if so I need to move them. Please advise, thanks. Ben

I was thinking about moving it eventually if it doesn't open up. How long should I give it to open up at its current location before I do need to move it? thanks Ben

I purchased a bubble coral about 24 hours ago, and it has yet to come out. Should I be concerned? I have it near the top of my tank with current going across it, but not directly onto it. thanks Ben

Well that sucks, any tips on getting it without busting the bubbles, looks impossible. I'm going it tackle it in the morning though. thanks Ben

I have no clue what this is, it just kinda sprung up on a piece of my live rock. I need to know if it's good or bad, and if it's bad, how to get rid of it. thanks Ben the links may have to be copied and pasted into your browser http://www.geocities.com/cism4555/mvc-011s.jpg...

Yesterday I had one anenome, this morning I had two. I didn't know this was possible, guess you learn something new everyday. Anyway, below is a link to the picture of the two. Also, can anyone id this particular anenome? thanks Anenome Ben [ January 23, 2002: Message edited by...

I have 2 of the 12 volt DC radio shack fans in my hood, no problems with either of them. I bought just a regular 12 volt plug-in transformer, like what you'd use on a cell phone, and wired them off of that. I'd exchange yours, has to be a defect.
