Yes, LH, it is a planted tank and thanks all! I really appreciate it!

Thanks Cliff. Do you use pool sand? Also, all turned out well with the goofball stunt this weekend...thanks for your help!

HI, I am wondering if anyone has used flourite with loaches or any other swimmers that dig and poke around in the substrate. I am asking because I checked some out in the lfs and it seemed sharper...

ibuyen! HI, I have a biocube 29 and I just have my bagged chemipure elite and purigen on a shelf in my center compartment. I just watched the video for the media basket on the website...do you have...

Thanks Cliff! Can I have more than one Nassarius Snail in 29 gallons?

Thanks much! No, I don't have a refugium. I had/have about 14 hermits and several snails...thinking about throwing in some more crabs into the biocube.

I have hermit crabs and a PS Watchman Goby...I don't think he is considered a sifter though...though he does sometimes.

So, my sand is white...clean. I change 10 % sw every week and vacuum the sand pulling yuck from it. The sand in the LFS sw tanks is nasty looking...all kinds of colors; black, brown, green, etc. ...

Many Thanks! I'll go with the prepackaged then. It doesn't seem like it caused any problem, but I don't want it to happen again.

Thank you. That seems like the way to go cuz though the bag was marketed as fine mesh and it looked like the little balls wouldn't possibly come thru...they did. So you don't have any trouble with...

No, I don't understand it. I used a fine mesh bag...purchased bulk purigen, measured the correct amount and tied it well! I don't see how it came through, but it did. I removed the bag when I saw...

Thanks Lady Hobbs! I did the best I could...the junk was everywhere. I hope everyone will be okay!

Is this horrible? I used a new, fine mesh bag and as soon as I placed the rinsed Purigen bag into the back of my biocube...balls went everywhere into the tank. They seemed to escape through the...

Ah, I see...it wasn't hungry enough to eat it, but didn't want anyone else to have it. : ) Saved it for later. Thanks!

Yay! She finally was able to grab and eat the trailing food and goby is very disappointed. In the future, is there a reason to worry about this? Would I ever need to manually dislodge it?

Thanks all! It all sounds good and I appreciate your input. I'll probably invest that direction at some point...definitely would like not to pay full price though! They are high, but do sound like a...

What do I do? After feeding time I noticed that my Bangaii Cardinalfish had a string of mysis shrimp trailing from her mouth. I have been watching her thinking that she'd work it out, but after an...

Anyone have any experience with these? I have been thinking about adding a powerhead and this one, outside of being expensive, sounds interesting...mostly, admittedly, for the battery back up. Most...

Thanks Smaug! Have a terrific day! :11:

O that is so funny! Thanks for the advice and the much needed laugh!

Can I do more than 1- 20% w/c in a week? Considering my nitrate problem I was thinking about doing a 20% tonight sucking...

Maybe I should stick to the peppermint shrimp then? The tank came with a coral banded, but he made me nervous. He was huge and he kept snapping at the fish. Previous owner said he was a peppermint...

He is about 4 inches. His sweet friend Nemo really loves him too! I think I enjoy Goby more than anyone in that tank. Do you like your skunk cleaner shrimp? I have asked the lfs to order me one,...

Yes, he did and he is fabulous! He is very curious and likes to keep an eye on me. He cruises in and out the front and back door of the basement he built to perch in different places in the tank...

Many thanks all!

You guys are so funny. So, if I replace the sand (I don't really want a bare bottom and my pink spotted watchman goby would not be happy if it was bare) and continue to do 20% w/c's over time I...
