i don't syphon my tank.....the sump is for water changes....so if i had a critter in the tank i guess he would do his job as often as he does his job....weather it's 24/7 or not it will be consistant. i was just currious if it was a bad idea....i always thought it was said that it's good to have...

in a small tank, say my 15g, does taking your time meen you sould wait about 2-3 weeks after you add a new coral before you even think about adding another? that is what i think i am just wondering if anyone else sees it that way. ya know, the whole "tank goes through many cyles" sounds right to me.

looking for good feeding methods....i've read someone post "the cut soda bottle" method. what is that? any other ways other than an eye dropper or turkey baister?

what exactly is that and what does it do for the tank and or corals? i'm just looking for the best, most responible and least "destructive" things for my tank inhabitants and future corals

thanks.........i'll take that advise and stay away....what does everyone like to use for brands.....and types of for for mostly soft corals?

anyone have any ideas??? :?: :?: :?:

has anyone heard anything about sea lab #28? it seems to be a very good way to control all the things that need to be added to a tank. was wondering if it does what it claims? if it does i think i might try it. thanks in advance

i know it is a stupid question...but did you take each rock out of the tank and burn em? did you put the soldering iron in the tank? sounds like a good idea though. i've even heard of guys taking out the rocks and using thier lighters on the little buggers. :twisted: burn burn burn :twisted:

i took a 10g tank and divided it...not quite in half, but for all intents and purposes....in half. on one side, where i have to over flow box drain to, i have about 7 pounds of live rock (i will be adding a few more pounds soon). then i have two dividers. one that is about 3"high and goes from...
