Yes. You should only put your hands in the tank when necessary as you introduce dirt, oils from your skin, etc into the water. You are also stressing...
Mavis.
:drool: Great growth and color, John. Just keeps getting better.
I've added live sand to existing systems with no problem. As suggested, lower a piece of PVC to the bottom and pour the sand through it, or as I did,...
Yep... when I read about it on Wed, they said pacific, mountain, and the western part of central time zones would see it just before sunrise. Kinda...
LMAO! I started to say I want some of what you're smoking, but when you mentioned "it's setting" I realized you meant LUNAR eclipse. lol

If you're referring to leaving the main DT fishless to kill ich, yes you can leave inverts. Cryptocaryon will die without a fish host regardless what...
I had a LFS guy try that one on me. His line was, "If you think it's being used, then dose it". I stopped going to that LFS... When I lived in...
No new updates yet? How about a few rebuild shots for all your fans? :D
Yes, absolutely.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough... You NEED to allow the tank to sit without any fish to kill off the active parasites. The one's that are dormant in...
