    Live Rock Questions

    What Zen Master Krish forgot to add is, Wear thick gloves when handling the rock while you scape it. I've had my tank running a year and still am discovering hitchers that would've been a bad day had I not seen them first.

    How Much Sand?

    BTW way welcome to RF. What you describe sounds kind of like a plenum. Google it when you have time. I would take the stuff out to check out the actual bottom and clean it good. Vinegar only. You can lay the sand directly on the bottom. 1-3"s is fine.

    How Much Sand?

    Matt gives ya the goods. Also stirring the sand bed a bit (weekly) is another way to get the crap from settling and getting it into the water column and thereby letting your skimmer (if ya got it) do its job.

    Water Flow Suggestions?

    All depends on what you want to keep and/or do with your tank. How much LR/LS do you have? Are you doing a sump? Softies like shrooms, xenia, zoas or what? For fish only, the maxis should be good enough and look into hydor flos on them.

    Newbie in Training.

    Good idea. Plus you may want to get a small, troch or astrea snail, when first introduced tend to mow down the cyno.

    Newbies guide to the nano reef

    Last hijack of my own thread. I'm starting a new chapter on my career on Monday. The call came and I accepted. The good news is since it's 8-4 training that I'll have more time for my wife, daughter and will be able to start back up on this thread. Thanks one and all for their patience, Mike.

    She had a look of horror on her face when I asked for an anatomically correct male draft horse. In regards to clowns, we had moved to an apartment about half a mile away from John Wayne Gacy's house about four days after he was pinched, so my formative years with clowns are, shall we say, not...

    inverts molting

    No set schedule, if you dose iodine, more then they should. As they get larger with over feeding then it is more often then they should.
