Just use salt and water to clean everything, then give it a good soak / rinse / squirt with the hose. Leave it in the sun to dry, and hey presto. Safe and easy.
-
So what kind of tank / coral would be better suited to a bare bottom setup? Anything that requires high flow, I assume, but are there other scenarios where it could be advantageous? I just assumed that substate was probably beneficial.
-
Ahhh... I see.
-
:lol: - So you reckon President Markos liked Clams?
-
So I've noticed some of you aren't into sand etc. Did you have a bad experience with sand as a child? At the risk of asking a dumb newbie question, why don't you use it? Is it easier to do maintenance and control water parameters etc, or is there more to it?

I guess whatever she wants - most likely another set of black ankle boots with a slightly different heel - they all look the same to me :oops:
-
That idiot at the shop txt'd her phone with a message saying there were clams in - the moment she got in the door she went straight to our plastic bag bin, pulled out the black one on top, and said "WHAT CAME IN THIS?!???!!". Busted.
-
I'd ditch the cichlid tank and put one of those spin around 'egg' chairs in there so that you can spin around and watch the fish.
-
Unless you were considering re-doing your aquascape anyway I'd have another go at catching and treating the fish - that many fish in one little tank sounds like a recipe for another set of problems :-?
-
Maybe... I guess you might not have too many other options at this point.

If it is one of these... http://www.reeftime.com/profiles/damsel ... 100009.htm "Determining Sex: Blue Damselfish are sexually dimorphic. The females are entirely blue without any yellow or orange coloration, some females depending on localities have a black ocellus on the lower posterior part of the dorsal fin. Also they have nearly translucent fins (see photo at the top of this page), versus totally blue fins in males."
-
If you can move the corals into a holding tank for an hour or so, try removing all but a few inches of water and catch the fish. Alternatively catch the healthy ones and protect them from infection whilst you treat the main tank (maybe they can go for a holiday at Organism?) Oh yea, try swearing more! That always helps!

Shhhhh!!!! Don't let the Wife hear!

Welcome!

So a couple more Maxima clams have mysteriously appeared in my tank, or maybe they have always been in there, depending upon whom is asking - anyway, can I just plonk them up on the rock or will they fall off? Is there any way to entice them inot grabbing hold of the rock? How mobile are they?
-
I would start by testing your water to determine why otherwise healthy fish would catch whitespot - whitespot is present in all freshwater anyway, and only weakened fish catch it (healthy fish can repell the parasite no problem at all) - you will probably find you need to do some tank maintenance, including a large water change. Use the whitespot treatment if there is no improvement after 2 days.
-
Discus are probably the most rewarding, but A LOT of work to do properly.
-
Try it a couple of hours after lights out - fractionally easier :lol:
-
Little ones stay in the water more - its 'safe' - you'll probably find he gets out at night. Once he's settled, he'll get out during the day, so long as the tank isn't in a 'high traffic' zone.
-
You said it. We have huge hydro-generation capacity and a relatively small population - go figure.
-
Yep, and they'll breed there too - but the babies will be eaten. They are almost permanently pregnant, so if you are going to breed them you'll need a seperate tank.
-
Tank, water, java moss, and guppies - stir once and leave (but yes, google guppy breeding and you will find loads of info).

Move it
