    Using Plants?

    Hey Ed, thanks a bunch for you help. I really do appreciate it. I went to the shop to grab the test kit today, and they had none left. The dude at the fish store told me to bring in a sample of my tanks water, and he would test it for me as you have suggested. The only thing is, he said I would...

    Using Plants?

    Okay Ed, thanks. I am getting a new test kit today, so I will be back later to give up the results. Also, when I started up my tank I purchased some fairly expensive sand/sea bed matter. I was told it would help speed up the cycle process somewhat. Maybe that's why the tank is doing the brown...

    Brown color

    Okay, I am in tank cycling stage right now, and I have hit the brown stuff phase. Can someone tell me what this is all about? and how long it will last? It seems to have mainly started on the live rock and the sand areas first, but now I see it slightly on the tank glass as well. It does not...

    Blue Damsels Fighting?

    LOL, I am certainly not new to the fish tank thing, having kept a fresh water tank for the quite some time now/many years lol, however this whole salt water thing is a bit stumping to say the least. I will be the first to admit that I have much to learn about the entire mix of water, and marine...

    Blue Damsels Fighting?

    Hey Krish, how are you? Thank you for the heads up!! I gotta tell you, I am starting to really believe that the cat that I am dealing with at my local pet store is not very versed in marine set ups/fish lol. I am learning alot from you guys on here, more so then what I am being told face to face...

    Blue Damsels Fighting?

    Hey gang. I have two blue damsels in my tank, and I noticed over the past few days that one of the Blue D's has been very touchy as far as, I guess his side of the tank is concerned lol. I thought these guys were calm fish. Is there a reason why the one fish is acting so bossy? Please toss any...

    Using Plants?

    Hey how are you? Yes it is very tempting to load up on the fish thing lol. I have resisted overall except for some extra crabs. I just added the rest of my live rock a short while ago today. I did ask several times when I purchased my tank about start up fish, the store dude told me I could...

    Using Plants?

    I have not done any testing on the tank yet. I was advised buy the sales dude at the pet store, that I could wait a few weeks before getting into tesing.
