Does anyone aerate their 12 g tanks. i was thinking about that last night and figured i should look into it. Ive got some calearpa in there which helps add oxygen to the water but would that be enough? The tanks has recovered quite well since my big crash and everything looks pretty good...

Cool. Sorry , did you mention how long your tank has been running? Tony

Are they difficult to take care of? What do you feed it? i have a 12 g and i was thinking of getting a 24g. But i heard bad things about them, like cracking an dsorts. Tony

That looks really cool. :gcool im sure the colour is even brighter in person. How big is your tank? how big is the Leather? Tony

the drip method sounds like a better way to move the fish. but i do use the cup by cup method and i test the water for salt and sorts. i have to admit, it was this morning when i found my tang dead. very very upsetting. i thought i had finally gotten things under control. very upset...

What types of effets does high temp cause? would it cause fish to die? i have a Gobe who has been through pretty much anything that has gone on in the tank and then when ever i add someone else, they die. all the crabs and snails are ok. I got a yellow tang and had him for 2 days and then...

my temp today is at 83 degrees farenheit. about 26 celcius. the lowest it has been is at 23 celcius. day and night it is pretty steady unless i do a water change and or the power goes out like it did last week. T

Ok. that is really helpful. i use distilled water for the water changes. that should be the same as any other water in terms of nutrients or are there differences? i hope yo understand my confusion. i go to one place and then i go to another place and i hear different info. ive had alot of...

ive been adding these to bring things back to normal and give my corals and Polyps some help. Im not sure though how to know whne they have enough. it says to add according to tank size...ok....and then tank load. How do you know how much to add when every tank is different and corals are...

the red algea is taking its time to come back. the hair form algae never went any where. it seems to be doing alittle better this week. The story started with my anemone dying and then i had to remove my damsel. He kept knocking everything over. i strongly reccomend a completely empty...

Are zoas and polyps the same thing? kind of confused there. also what do you feed them if at all? should they be close to the top of the tank or lower down. i have a 12 g nano and i have some yellow Polyps? zoas? and they seem to be dying off. Tank levels have recovered since the big crash...

i have found that small wter changes are quicker and dont cause a major temp change in the tank. although you have to more of them i prefer smaller water changes. Tony

ps i did have a hell of a time getting the damsel out. proctically had to rip the tank apart. @#$%^@%# could that have thrown everything out of wack and stressed everything? was that a stupid question? tony
