Pickling isle

White sand sifting Starfish are also nice additions.

I wouldn't say that Lava rock looks like crap, it is dead but give it 6 months with additives and the coraline algae takes off. After awile you won't be able to tell the difference between the two. I did add 10% of live rock just to get things started and 1 kit from ISPF. If I did add all live...

I don't know what the long term results will be but, I started with 90% lava rack and 10% Fugi about 5 months and everything looks good. I did not pick any of the red or tan colored lava rock. I just used the black colored pieces. I paid $1.00 a pound at LFS but you might try a landscaping place...

I have them everywhere also and they do look like snall brown ants, running all over the rock and sand. I do believe they are adults since I have seen them for some time and they don't appear to have grown any. ^^^

I have tried frozen brine and bloodworms, No he didn't want those either. I think he is more in the likeing to algae. I just have to find the right one.

I don't know what he was eating at the LFS but he looked good (fat and colorful) and when I brought him home I had lots of brown diatoms for him to eat. Well thats been almost 3 weeks and he ate them all but he wants more. I did try the Seaweed Selects on a clip but he wouldn't touch it. Now I...

He has run out of brown diatoms (he loved them) but doesn't seem to like anything else. I have tried flake, formula one and Seaweed Selects (they just make a big mess). Any ideas what to try and feed this fish? He seems a bit hungry. TIA

DAP makes 100% Aquarium sealant. Found it at Ace hardware.

Thanks for the replies, I just ordered a Det. kit.

I've just cycled myy 55 with a shrimp and I have A=0 Trite=0 and Trates falling very fast. So I picked up a Chromis and all seems fine. I also have about 20 lbs LR which was fully cured and about 15 lbs of LS in a 4" DSB , but.. Should I get some worms now? Snails? There is nothing for them to...

I don't know MyReef and really very little details on this subject, but I do know I will drive a little further, pay a little more or do without if I don't feel comfortable in how things were done.
