It does, Thanks Jesse. What about the RO water? Does it have to sit for a day before it gets put into the tank? I am also wonder if the switch from Distilled to RO water will affect anything. I suspect that it shouldn't. Thanks in advance. Tony

Look at the bright side of things....now you can UPGRADE!!! Unless you already did. That sucks then.... TOny

IS there anyone using a product called Chemi Pure. I was told that tis stuff is really good and will clean the impurities from the tank very well. Could this change the chemistry in a way that this could cause the corals to go screwwy. I have been adding Ph Buffer for the last couple days...

ps. using distilled water. Will be switching to RO/DI soon. Just waiting for a part to come in the mail. Tony

Ok i will try and answer as much as possible. Checked my levels and they seem ok. PH seems somewhat low. around 7.8 maybe lower. Everything else seems in order. Water changes are done once a week and at about 15%. I am feeding Kent Marine Phytoplankton. Ususaally twice a week and about a...

YOu guys are awesome. Need to act and now. I will follow up with answers. Stay calm.... :gcool

Hi every one, Havent been on for a while but work has been crazy and you know the expression, Take it when it comes. Im in landscaping so this is the crazy time. Anyhow, I have had the fortune of minimal problems with both my Nano tanks as of late but recently have noticed that some of...

I did end up bringing him home and he is in my 24 g right now. I made him a smaller little condo that I made from a tupperware cont. I cut two of the sides off and drilled holes all along the large holes so that I could Sew plastic screening to block off the exits. I put a few pieces of...

It was an innocent visit to the Fish Store. Pleasant weather. No wind. It is Thursday before Easter long weekend. Looking foward to a nice break. My tanks have been running problem free for a while now (Knock on wood). Regular water changes and feeding. Nothing more. No need for more...

If you decide t get a pepper mint shrimp, make sure that you have no other more dominant shrimp in there or else they will force the Pepermint o hide out and he wont do much. In that case it is nice to have the Joes juice. I have used it a few time and it is quite interesting how fast they get...

There are a couple of sand mover that are really good. I had a gold spot who would move the sand so much that it always looked like i had just put it in, in piles. He unfortunately jumped into my sump and ........ :x . i have a lawn mower blenny that likes to stir up the sand at the bottom...

Hi Jay, Sorry, I feel of the earth for a bit and fell into a pile of work....i buy most of my stuff from North American Fish Breeders on Kingston Rd, near Kennedy. He only charges 10 $ each and his prices for corals are really good too. He usually supplies alot of the local fish stores as...

I had three of these guys and one died whe the power went out but the other two are doing really well. They are really good for adding that little detail to a tank. Not to mention they are quite easy to take care of. :gcool TOny

Great those are some really good tips. Thank you. I will try it. I have a tripod and use it quite a bit and even this past weekend started trying shooting the tank, especially cause it is starting to look half decent. Im still surious how to post photos on the posts. Still not sure how t do...

Yeah, i figured you weren't using some kind of point and shoot. What did those two lenses run you if you dont mind me asking? I know what the body is worth. That is a sweet camera and the pictures prove it. I was going to go shopping for a macro lens but am confused as to which to buy. Lots...

I have had some difiiculty finding a couple of shrimp on a couple of occasions. SOmetimes they take it upon themselves to hide for a while if they are stressed, however a fire shrimp is not hard to find unless there are a million places for him to hide. Check with a flashlight at night...

Well, it was about a month or so back that the power went out and there was some significant damage to the tank. I also recently got rid of my Chromis, which all survived the transfer to the fish except for one. Interestingly, my frogspawn which melted away when the power went out, seems to be...

Great Shots!! What Camera are you using and what type of macro lens? Tony :maitre

It happens so fast that you cant even catch a picture. the Other problem is that the babies look like dust on the water. little specks and they get eaten up pretty quick. They are currently carrying eggs undder their abdomen. they look lke they are going to hatch soon. Im going to try and...

i have a 12 and a 24. You can d so much more than a 12 witha 24......however, more money and more work. Less worry if there is a problem in there because there is more water and more space. I like my 12 becasue it is really easy to run. My 24 has so much more in it though. Corals and fish...
