LOL pardon me but I figured if your refractometer wasn't an ATC model that the instructions would have the proper directions on how to figure your...
Try and find an automatic temperature compensating (ATC) refractometer and you won't have to worry about it. If yours isn't one then I am sure the...
Ugh, the damn thing just picked up a small frag of pink zoos I had on my sand bed now too. I'll have to snap a pick later.
They have iffy survival in captivity and will soon outgrow a tank that size. Then you'll have to stress the hell out of it and you breaking down...
I think I understand what you're saying. The thing with bio balls is they are very efficient. They are an excellent filtration medium providing...
First figure out what kind of bulb you want to use and get a ballast that caters to that. If you don't know which you want, then find a ballast that...
I find they are very helpful in a larger tank. They really do a good job at cleaning up algae and while they might eat your coralline, it will help...
Yes that frequently happens with predators like those. Live food is initially required to elicit a feeding response. However with a little bit of...
78 degrees is ideal. Minnows are not ideal and will eventually lead to the premature death of your lionfish. You really should be feeding all of...
Yeah I didn't want to comment too much cause like I said I haven't been following their practices too closely anymore. I also know some wholesalers...

Listen man, I can definitely sympathize. No one like to bash the shipping companies as much as I do, however some things just aren't in anyones...
Tom Owens, you are not understanding what I said. A 10 degree swing from the norm, say 78 degrees is tolerated much easier than a swing in the...
As long as you can lift it I would leave it. I've often moved tanks across town nevermind just across the room without taking out the sand. Just...
What is it you're looking to purchase? A fish? An invert? Equipment? What kind of eel is it?
That I don't count in the survey. I definitely do count what I have when I get it.
I'm just a few shells shy of a bazillion. But I don't think I count. ;)
Obviously the low temp isn't hurting things all that much. Stable temp is much more important. I also find that these animals can take a larger...
They are known to close up every once in a while for a little bit. So far yours doesn't sound like anything out of the norm. As long as the mat is...
