I'll get this right yet. Are all beginners this relentless in posting photos? :pom

blah blah blah......

More pics......

Update: In the time between when I took these pics and when I actually figured out how to shrink them to post them, nine of my ten new frags (except the tall skinny pink one) opened!! Thanks again J&D!! Karen :D

Hi Fish People! I got home from J&D's house about 1 1/2 hours ago with a fresh load of frags!! Errr.....my FIRST load of frags (not counting my xenia from F&S). Way cooooool and super nice people! I scored 10 very cool frags at a great price. Thanks so much John & Dawn! A couple of them...

It's true....I have a blue/green chromis and he's pretty gentle. Also, I got my little jawfish! He's pretty cool and doing a fine job of rearranging my live rock from the bottom. He's got the coolest shifty eyes. I love him. :mrgreen: I found him by accident, so it was fate right? I...

What is a refugium? Is it a placed for sick fish? Live food??? If you want to send me to links that explain that would be great. I need to do something witht the LR I removed before I kill it. I've heard I can place it in the chambers of my 12GNC, but not sure why or how. You guys are...

Thanks again for the input! All due respect to your combined experience, but if I can find a jawfish, I am probably going to go for it. Yeah....I'm stubborn! Part of the reason for the deep sand bed was the jawfish, and I'm willing to eat crowfish if it backfires. Thanks again, Karen

I've read contradicting info on the amount of sand needed by the jawfish. I have about 3" of LS in my tank. I kind of have my heart set on this fish, but if you don't think it will work I will consider something else. Karen

The snails are the little ones called "sandbugs" - I got them on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1 What do you think? Too many? Karen

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention I ordered 10 nassarius snails. I plan on getting a couple of the other snails you all recommended too - cerith and astraea. What other cleaners do I need? Thanks again, Karen

Hi fish people! OK....I've survived my first hermit crab molting and diatoms.... I have one blue-green chromis who is doing very well. Poor guinea-pig fish. I've removed about half of my live rock at your earlier suggestions. My water params are: 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, pH...

I ordered some nassaurius snails - will they help with the diatoms? Also, I bought RO water from Wal-Mart and haven't used any tap water. Could the silica be in my LS? :???:

1 - what do I do about the diatoms? 2 - aahhhhh makes sense. Thank you!

Hi! I have two concerns today.... 1) I have some brown stuff growing on all of my live rock. Is it algae? 2) I bought 2 red hermit crabs and put them in my tank 3 days ago. This morning when I got up I found a dead red hermit crab (sans shell) next to a living hermit crab (complete...

It's a learning experience I'm sure..... I am not using the bio balls or rings. Just the carbon an sponges....according to the directions. Have you had better results with a different setup? Also, what is the best way to increase the salinity of the water already in my tank? My SG dropped...

Is it too much? I had read somewhere that you should put 1 - 1 1/2 lbs. per gallon, but I think I may have gone over that a bit....hmmmm.... I put the LS in yesterday and it looks good...lots of little crawlies. I do plan on doing some corals and maybe a crocea clam. Only a few nifty fish...

I think I got it this time....

OK - I'm a forum dork. Didn't realize there were two pages now and kept trying to post over and over again....duhhhhhh..... Anyway, my LS came today and it looks awesome. I will try to post my pics again. Does anyone know how to save pics smaller than 640x480 on a mac? Thanks for putting...
