    "April 1st" Member Showcase

    I have to agree with Nikki: the color contrast of the asphalt paint (and Spongebob) are very striking. Also, I can't believe you've designed a sandbed that can never become saturated! Brilliant!

    whats hurting my clam??

    Clams can also be sensitive to salinity swings. In a ten gallon tank, they can be pretty rapid from just daily evaporation. I would suggest setting up an auto topoff, or being sure to pour water in twice a day. Are you feeding him? Until 3" or so, they don't have enough mantle to provide...

    Please help me save my reef ASAP!!!!

    You might need to consider removing your sponge. Dying sponges are quite nasty, releasing lots of stored toxins. I think you have a chain reaction going on, and you may want to get it out of there, just to stop any more toxins being released into the water. I agree that skimming and water...

    Salifert Calcium Test Kit Bad?

    I had the exact same experience with Oceanic and Salifert tests.

    Cleaner Shrimp and Peppermint

    My peps were that way too. I actually thought they had all died, and from time to time I'd find a molt to prove otherwise.

    Cleaner Shrimp and Peppermint

    I've had skunk cleaners, peppermints, and a coral banded all in the same tank. They were quite peaceful toward one another. The skunk would just scare away any peps that came near him, but not in a really aggressive manner. Just making sure they respected his personal space. Anyway, you...

    Scraping your tank can make you beautiful!

    I just read this in the February edition of Allure magazine: They sure make that crusty crap sound much more appealling than it seems on the front of my aquarium! Just another ingredient to add to the list of questionable substances that we women will subject ourselves to! I hope it works...

    odyssea lights?

    According to Oddysea, you CAN buy competitors' 250W DE lamps to run in their fixtures. The ballast will only fire 175 watts, but you do have the option of better quality bulbs.

    I like mine covered in coralline too.

    addition of astrea snails ?

    You really shouldn't add anything until your cycle is over. Various algae is typical throughout the cycle, and for about four months afterward. That's lots of time for a cleanup crew to get on top of it. You don't want them to needlessly die from ammonia if added too early. I also wouldn't...

    vacation mishaps

    Why does this sort of thing always happen when you're away?! I'm so sorry for your troubles.

    Do You Drink the RO DI water

    I'm raising a dead thread. I just wanted to say thanks to all for this one. My tapwater has suddenly begun to taste like the YMCA pool. I'm glad I can resort to my RO/DI until it gets better!

    Answer And Ask

    I sing with my kids in the car all the time. When the radio's on, you might call it singing: I sing the words I know, mumble the ones I don't. I'm a terrible singer too, just ask my husband. He wishes I were shier. Same question.

    algee problem

    As you continue to lower nitrates, try redirecting your flow. While you have good GPH flow, cyano likes any slow spots. Try to make sure that there are none. GL,

    Curling shell

    I know this is on Nikki's mind: Maybe prolonged exposure to a toxic DSB mutated its DNA.
