There really is not a too long answer. It all depends on the rock. But If the rock seems "fishy" at all then don't buy it

The main questions to ask are: How long they've had the rock? and Where they got the rock from?

Ya you could probably get one for $150. you might have to get it used though. When you buy from an individual you will typically get a better deal than buying at a store. Where do you live roughly? I'll try to see If i can get someone near you to help you out. Also, I have never tried any...

Ya I've already spent over $100 on a 2 gallon tank that is only 14 days old. The only live stock so far is three snails, and I already had the live rock, sand, water test kit, salt water mix. etc. So if you are starting from scratch it's going to cost you a lot more than $150. Here is a...

Thanks. I've been hearing that a lot. If the tank parameters aren't stable then I won't get any thing at all. I found someone to get me a pretty good deal of a frag of their original colony(under $10) per polyp. i'll see how well the tank is doing before buying them. Also he said that...

I am very interested in purchasing blue tubs. I was wondering what is a reasonable price per polyp for blue tubs? Also, I f you could give me any information about blue tub habits that would be great. Are there any corals that I can't keep next to them, how often they bud etc. Also...

What are the best zoas for a pico? Like what have you tried and what works etc.? Also I was wondering what the average cost per polyp of blue tub zoas are? I want to see if I'm getting a good deal. Thanks

Another question: Is the sand bed too shallow? Like should I add more or just keep it the way it is? Also what do you recommend that I should add first? Just a clean-up crew, or could i go for some coral?

Mabey the thermometer is broken. What I would try to do is turn off the heaters if you have one running. Once it gets back down to the temp that you want turn the heater to that setting and monitor temperature. You could also do a gradual water change with cooler water.

i read the article before and it seemed like they didn't really know if distilled water is/was ok. I'll think i'll be fine though. how long do you think I should let it cycle before adding anything? Live rock and sand were from a 55 gallon tank and are already cured.

Oh and the is that usual is susposed to have a question mark instead of a period. Oh and by glass i meant acrylic

Do you have any pics? If you do then we will know for sure what you are dealing with

Thanks guys. Here is a pic of the seaweed And here is a pic of the complete tank 7 days after first setting it up. There is no algae on the glass yet. Is that usual. I'm not 100% sure of the seaweed, but I believe it's Chaetomorpha. Correct me if you think otherwise. Also, how do...

What exactly does Ro water stand for? I'm using distilled water that comes out of a dispenser in my kitchen. I was using the amquel to help get rid of nitrate ert from the tank itself. I thought that was hat it was used for. correct me if i'm wrong. I'm not really sure of what to get...

There probably feather dusters. They are beneficial.
