well that would be quite hard to find that deal again.

Well i wasnt advertising the aiptasia's, I was making sure they knew that they were there a-plenty before bothering to come out and get it. A lot of people wouldnt buy live rock if they knew it had...

So i am moving to a condo and I need to sell my aquarium, sadly. After all the time and money and love put into this thing i have to part. Im not even sure how much I have spent on it (well over 700...

thats not updated that fish is long gone.

So i awoke this morning to find one of my cardinals front dorsal fin was cut in half. And it literally looks like a clean cut. No tearing or anything. It is the male of the breeding pair i have and...

in regards to the ray doing well in captivity, I have read much of what unleashed said by many people who have owned them. They are not a hardy ray to keep in the least.

thats a pretty slim aquarium for a ray I think. Usually a 200g minimum too

Ill just say my 29G saltwater is a LOT more to maintain (and freakin expensive) then my 29 freshwater was. As they say, go big because the smaller the tank, the more susceptible they are to things...

I have been turning the lights on for only 4 hours a day and my red slime algae has completely gone away. When I had it HORRIBLY, sand, rocks, glass everything, I left the lights off for two days...

or velvet damsel?

flame angel is gorgeous fish too. Also coral beauty or bi color.

spotted Hawaiian puffer. Golden headed goby? Dogface puffer? Lunar wrasse? bat fish?

#1 looks to be an arrow crab?

They are in Books on my desk published after 2004 minus 1 which was published I think in 99 (The New marine Aquarium)

EDIT: Nm that one was written 2001. Ill find out the names of the other books.

Apparently you guys know more than the three authors I have read say that. My bad!

many professional aquarium enthusiasts suggest letting the water sit in a dark room for a few days. they call it "aging" the water. Doesn't pertain entirely to the salt dissolving though

I have used both and got the same results from both tap and RO.



I have a little bit left over from when I took it out. CC is a nightmare and when I had ONLY CC in there, the PH was the same.

how do you propose I get the nitrates down? I have tried everything. Cant get that down, cant get the PH up.

PH is about 7.9 to 8.0. Wont get any higher, no clue why.

Ammonia is 0
nitrite is 0
nitrate is 20+ ppm

feedings are about twice a day and I feed a Saltwater mixture pack of squid, sea...

So she is scraping now. Does this mean ICH?

firstly you ARE using MARINE salt, correct? Not aquarium salt?

Secondly, you are mixing it in a separate container (like a bucket) and THEN adding it to the aquarium right?

Thirdly, I have...

ya that doesnt look quite like an aiptasia to me.


So about killing them. Whats the best way without having to ruin all my live rock to get rid of them? I have about 20 I have counted....so far....
