Fear of tank explosion????? I think there is more chance of the moon landings being true!!!! Dave

Being a learner myself I can't comment to deeply. But, when I set my tank up recently I added livestock to it on a 10 daily basis one thing at a time, this gives the tank time to adjust to the new biol oad.. IMHO that is. Dave

It's been running for over week now!! dave

Hi.. I put a power head in my 12g nano to give it some movement. Anyone any idea's as to why it would blow out small bubbles every couple of minutes? It is about 3 inches under water so it can't be sucking air from the surface. I'm stumped as to why it would do it.. Dave

Thanks for the prompt reply I'll do it first thing tomorrow. dave

How often does the filter which is in the pump chamber need cleaning? And is the best way to clean it by rinsing it in the old water during a water change? Dave :maitre

Thanks for all your help. I had only been doing a 10% change because all my tests are ok! I will try to get hold of a phosphate sponge. Dave

To be honest I don't know what make it is it came already in chamber 2 of the tank. So would it be better to remove it and fill the chamber LR? dave

Why mate? Dave

I have an Orca 12g nano tank that comes with a skimmer in the second chamber. When I turn it on it sends millions of tiny bubbles into the main tank! Any advice how to overcome this? Dave

Nice one! Thanks for that. They appear to have stopped going on the mushrooms now. Dave

What about eating sponges or mushrooms? Cuss these little bleeders are all over my new piece of mushroom coral that has some sponges on the rock as well.

I checked my float hydrometer against my lfs readings and they are the same. so I'm happy with that. dave

I'm sorry I don't know? They have little white rings on the end of their legs, The one that does the most damage has one huge claw and one small one. Guess what? he's going to a friend....LOL dave

Does anyone else have a problem with their hermit crabs eating purple coraline? I have one little devil that eats it at every opportunity.. Dave

I only planned on having two anyway:) Dave

Get a couple of hermits mate! I had that stuf put two crabs in and it was gone the next day. Dave

I plan just to have damsels in the 12g nano. How many would be safe along with the hermits I have (two) and the shrimps (two) snails (3-4) and live coral I plan to add over the next few months. regards Dave

Marine lab test kit you add three reagents,wait 15 mins and check against a colour chart. It is the same colour as 0-1? The crabs have orange tips to their legs, and look like bumble bees in a shell!! Dave

Put three hermits in today...Wow do they eat!!! within an hour all the diatoms on the sandbed had gone... Dave
