    Soon you'll get yourself some nice zooas too, lil urchin. Question about zoas. Do they poop? I was loooking at my colony today, the ones that have opened and the ones that refuse to open, and this tiny, black pellet was coming out of the center... is that zoa poop?

    Aquarium water

    Nice thing about having a small tank is that i can do the drip line method to do my water change. Today I switched to Kent salt water from my LFS, and basically filled up a one gallon water jug and hung it above my tank with a drip line with multiple loops. It took a while, but i think it gave...

    Aquarium water

    Was just wondering what you guys thought of getting water from public aquariums? I just found out that The Seattle Aquarium sells UVA filtered natural salt water for 5 cents a gallon. What's the best way of switching to a new water source? Small, gradual water changes until the old water's...

    Biospira help, please

    Thanks mike. Will take your advice. currently, i feed 3 times a day, since I have 2 clowns, and didn't know how often they should be fed. I'll wean them off slowly per your advice and do the water change regimen. I need to figure out how to produce saltwater more cheaply. Currently I buy 5...

    Biospira help, please

    I have a 2 month, 1 week old 10 gallon tank that's having some nitrate problem (20 ppm) and excessive red slime algae growth. Is it possible to add Biospira now to reinforce the bacteria that I already have established, or will this make my tank parameters more out of whack? Has anyone had...

    Last water change was about a week ago, about 15%. I'll be doing another one in a day or two. Currently, I'm running an Aquaclear HOB designed for 20 gallons, but I ordered a Fluval cannister filter which should be coming in in a few days. I use store-bought NSW (Catalina Water Company...

    Chemi-Clean

    I currently have a tennis ball sized clump of Microalgae (Chaeto). Any other way of building up bacteria? Don't they have some sort of commercial product that contains bacterial cultures? I forget what it's called but I saw it at the store when i was there. Think that might help?

    I've had two frags that's been in my tank over 2 weeks now and have not yet opened. Water parameters are all normal, and another frag that i purchased is thriving well. Does anyone know why these guys are being stubborn?

    Chemi-Clean

    Yeah the water change will happen, i just didn't want to change the water only to have to treat again shortly after and then change the water again. The instruction said treat again within 48 hours if necessary and it seems my tank necessitates it, so i'll dose again in 48 and then change...

    So out of desperation and frustration, i finally bought a pack of chemi clean (damn these things are expensive!!!) How long til i start seeing effects? I treated my tank about 32 hours ago and the red slime algae stuff's still there. I'll treat again after 48 hours and hope it helps...
