Agree on the temperature issue...if you can put a chiller on your tank and keep it in the mid 60's you might be okay.
They are usually peacful. They do need to have shells to grow into though as they out grow their current shells. Often times they will prey on...
I like a lot of the stuff that comes with the live rock - feather dusters, corals, etc. I know there is also concern about undesireable items, but I...
looks good to me. Your ammonia will continue to rise, then start to fall, then Nitrite will spike, followed by Nitrate. I'd expect the process to...
I would do 30% marco rock and 70% live rock, that way the live rock will seed the marco rock. I like to use aquacultured rock from Florida - I use...
Agree with the 3-4 weeks and the Nitrite = 0. Then do a water change (20%) and add the clean up crew. Also, agree you probably need atleast 25 -30...
probably depends on where you live....lots of run off in coastal waters, so it may not be as clean as you think. Maybe if you pull it from off...
Man, what a bummer. I could tell by his posts that he was a good guy. I will miss his jokes that is for sure!

Well, I just ordered a new clean up crew from Reef aquarium invertebrates and reef safe fish. If you spend $100, you get free overnight shipping via...
I took a hybrid approach....put the rock in and left my lights on for 2-3 days (on the normal cycle - so not on all the time). Mainly did this...
looks like really nice stuff. If you like Fl. Rock, like I do, try www.liverockandmore.com. $4 a pound, from the keys, shipped to your door. Price...
Equally important to salinity is PH and Temp. Make sure you buffer the PH, and have the water at the right temperature before you add it to the tank...
I use only FL. Base rock, and like tangster, never had any problems. I recently bought a batch from www.liverockandmore.com for $4/pound, and...
When I moved to a larger tank...I did exactly what your LFS person told you to do. I used Arag-alive sand, then added about a cup of sand from my...
