If someone I knew refused to do things the right way, I would refuse to help Them with their tank. I can't stand watching people kill fish because they won't listen. It's why I don't work at a LFS anymore.

I don't usually wait more than about 15 min, i only mix 5 gal at a time and mix it up with a big spoon, the salt i use is tropic marin, very powdery and mixes almost instantly I stir it up a few times and wait about 15 min and check the salinity and a couple times and pour it in. I'v never had...

My RO/DI is a typhoon III from airwaterice and it has a quick flush valve and a RO only valve for those exact reasons, I drink the RO only that comes off of it and I quick flush my filters before each use. These came on the unit already but by looking at it, it wouldn't be very hard to add them...

I tried everything and only recently solved my hair algae problems. I got 2 lettuce nudibranches for my 55gal and they have done a great job of removing it. My theory is that I have created a nutrient rich environment for algae to grow, thats because I have a culerpa refugium as my main...

I would only get 2 like I did, it may take them a month but they will live longer. I know a guy who bought 9 for his 125 gal and most of them died when there was no more algae to eat. Also aclimate them pretty slow, I was told they can be a bit delicate at first. I Left mine in the bag for about...

my 2 lettuce nudibrances are chompin through my hair algae like a fat kid with a cake. They are truley incredible and I wish I had bought some sooner.

ok i have the same problems, lots of green hair algae, tons and i got it when the tank was about 9 months old and still hove it now at 18 months old. I tried lots of things and they all helped a little , except for srcubbing the live rock which i consider to be conter-productive. Anyways my...

I want to win the lottery so i can quit my job and watch my fish all day.

I know there are plenty of bad things that happen to the ocean. We humans have done a great job of destroying things, I just find the drugs to be a unique situation and I am wondering what the effect would be on widlife, we already know what the effect of heroin is on humans.

Mine 55 has a 20g DIY MM refugium and It does what it says it will, marco algae (culerpa) flurishes in my sump, lots of pods and worms too. My mandrin can back me up on that one. My nitrates/nitrites/amonia has always been nearly 0 and I have never had a skimmer. I don't keep SPS and only have a...

hehe :lol: no selfish because they care more about not getting caught with drugs than the wellbeing of the fish and or ecosystem they are destroying.

I have had a couple of freshwater fish in the past that got ick from other fish i had just bought. I seperated them into a hospital tank and kept them from just giving up, its kind of a natural instinct that when they are sick to just give up even though they are not dead yet, with some patience...

I wonder what this does to the marine life, dumping 200 bags of pure heroin into the water, just shows how selfish human beings are. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3759002/

Ok I have been trying to take pictures of my fish for 2 years with little luck. I have a kodak dx3500 and i take good pictures with it, 2.2 megapixel. The hardest thing to do is take pictures of each fish, they won't sit still long enough for the picture. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for...

1 little peppermint worked for me. Took a while 3-4 months but he got em. and now i can only count 2 aptasia in the whole tank (55gal) he hasn't touched my other corals, button polyps, mushrooms, star polyps and he is quite fun to watch in the tank. He has nearly tripled in size since i got him...
