    is garlic enough for me?

    Could this possibly just be small particles of sand that got onto the fish from the cleaning? This happened to me once and I freaked out thinking I had ich, but turned out to be sand.

    Hell all! White Cap Goby/ Red Spot Snapping Shrimp in 29

    The Goby/Pistol Combo is always an awesome choice. Just remember the pistol shrimp likes to dig, so rock work must be very stable. As for the specific pair you are talking about $450 is a little steep for me. Pretty pair though. I personally like the Yasha Goby and candy cane pistol usually in...

    Back to saltwater after a 6yr break

    I'm not sure really, I used the sand you are talking about, but I also used a piece of Live rock as well. SO I can not give a one over the other comparison, but I have had my tank going for a 6+ months now without too much hassle. Also I would grab that BC 29 barring no flaws in it. a new one is...

    Back to saltwater after a 6yr break

    Welcome back! and Welcome to nanotank.com IMO the easiest way to cycle the tank would be to buy a little bit of live rock, and some live sand from an established aquarium. This has tons of beneficial bacteria, and often times some LFS will give you a baggie sand to "seed" your aquarium. As for...

    aiptasia.

    Read this http://www.berghia.net/index.html, I ordered these a few years back when I had a HUGE aiptasia problem. May seem a little pricey, but its the best thing I ever did! I had an infestation of aiptasia and these little suckers got rid of ALL of them in about 2 months time.

    Dry Live Sand

    Ok, Actually that sand is the sand I used when I started my 5g tank. I didn't have any problems with it, but I also used a small piece of Live rock that I bought from my LFS just to be sure. I thought you were referring to actual dry sand. The Natures Ocean stuff is a little moist in the bag...

    Dry Live Sand

    hello! I would be cautious of Dry live sand, as live sand consists of lots of bacteria,pods etc. that need the water to survive, or at least be moist. Are you talking about Arag a Live sand? It is moist with a little bit of water? If so that is ok as I used it to start my reef. If you are just...
