Great job, looks fantastic!
That's how all cycles start. The only difference here is starting with one from a grocery store instead of creatures that have died on live rock put...
I've never drip acclimited a hermit crab. I float the bag for about 15 minutes, then add water from my tank every 5 minutes or so & watch their...
+1 on it being part of the cycle & it will go away. It is diatoms. You mean wait a few months after the cycle is over to add anything? Katherine,...
You're half right. The old rock will never be live again. But the new live rock won't stay live with anything still in the tank that will leach...
You know what's weird? Just 2 days ago I was sitting here thinking about the schools of neon tetras we had when I was a kid, and how cool it would...
I think this is now the 3rd thread I've seen here with something similar to that, the first thread it was ID'd as a sponge (and we all learned that...
When I had tanks before, I bought almost everything on line except a shrimp or a fish here or there. This time around, the only thing I've bought...

I had one fish in my 10 gallon. Nitrates were a huge struggle with that one fish.
Probably spaghetti or hair worms.
LOL Stepho. We had a good one tonight. The 6-spot goby (AH) has dug burrows under almost every rock in the tank, so the orange spot goby (Spot)...
I have 2, one is a MaxiJet 1200 (I think) and the other is a mini-jet 600 from years ago. I don't mix in a 5 gallon bucket, though, but in a tub...
There's a guy on ReefCentral that is a collector, don't remember what his name is, but I've seen posts where he's talked about where he's collecting...
OK, I was scared for a minute there LOL. And yes, those are mithrax crabs, Mithrax ruber. We have one red & 2 green, but no bubble algae. My...
Is that a 5 gallon bucket???
