I've had both types of set up and never had problems. Never had lots of creatures in the substrate, like people say we would need to achive success. Cucumbers and that's it. Never had those systems for more than 2 or 3 years thought. I've tried with small grain size and medium type (2 to 5 mm)...

Thanks a lot. Grandis.

Could you please let me know what magazine is that? I would like to have too. How to get? Thanks, Grandis.

esmithiii: "So you are saying that you never add anything to your tanks without A) medicating it or B) qarantining it for at least a month..." Yes, that's correct, and we shouldn't make a big deal out of it. This should be considered more than normal practice. "...How many tanks do you have...

Hi, "...That is why it is present in almost all tanks." And it shouldn't be. Yes, you'll need more tanks. Don't forget that if you quarantine the inverts, you need to finish that quarantine without put nothing in it that tank that could bring new parasites. In other words: buy one more coral...

Again Quarantine is the solution. Quarantine all new stuff before put in a tank with fishes. Parasites are not...

Hello, Tsc, tsc. If you don't introduce the parasite in your system you'll not have to deal with it! Quarantine all organisms is the solution. It is impossible for the parasite to survive for a certain period of time if there is no fish to feed on (this time will depend on parasite and system)...

I'll probably be there at the library on Sat. Need to know the time of the presentation. Thanks, Grandis.

Hello, To begin it is hard to understand why they allow fishes and do not allow inverts. Both can destroy the hawaiian marine habitat. The permit to the Waikiki Aquarium comes from, I believe, a reputation and respect for their serious work. Besides, it's an "UH's business". I used to not...
