I'm not so sure if it's even known why sometimes a LPS coral will extend it's tentacles and sometimes it won't; However, a receding polyp would be...
Another point that needs to be made is that there is a major difference in the amount of dissolved oxygen between the two. Saltwater holds much less...
Yep, but it works. Check out my tank thread...
I respectfully disagree with number 2. Detritus will also settle into your sandbed and cause a lot more problems than just nitrates if left...
Slow down, cowpoke... is there anything left alive in that tank? If so, then your test kits are bad. No way anything could survive an ammonia spike...
First, you need to decide on and research the type of fish you wish to keep. If you're going to have wrasses or other planktivores, then pods and...
One problem with adding another nem is that you're doubling your chances of a wandering nem stinging corals and sessile inverts. Another is that they...
What are you feeding it? Some fish we keep have specialized diets, and even though they may eat whatever we give them, they will slowly die from...
+1 Also, try to remove the uneaten food. Vacuum the surface of the sand and rocks; squirt between the rocks with a turkey baster; add a canister or...
OK... now it makes sense to assume he killed them. That's most likely the case. I wouldn't recommend adding any other shrimp while he's still in the...
Is this in your 150? They might actually be fine with that much room. If your CB killed your other shrimp, it should've been noticeable that they...
Yes, absolutely. They are best known as enemies, but with the CB being the aggressor. Obviously, it can go either way.
Some people can keep them together, and some can't. IMOPE, I was told they would be fine together if the CB was added last. After the SC had been in...
+1 to all the above. Having been without a nem for 2 years (if they were ever in one at all), they've probably lost their immunity. That's not...
Absolutely, yes! I was in the same exact situation as you with my last tank. Check out the link in my sig, "Putting on the Brakes: How Much is Too...
First, I am sorry for your loss... Iodine may help in molting, but it does not guarantee that every crustacean will molt successfully every time....
Sadly, there's not always an answer or solution to every problem where the life or health of livestock is concerned. Considering that the one shrimp...
Yes, that's it. Thank you. :)
+1 You need a lower flow rate with reactors to allow the media time to absorb impurities from the water. Also, I saw a discussion not long ago...
Sorry for your loss. You might want to check with your LFS- most provide some type of guarantee; even a 2 or 3-day warranty would allow for credit or...
