ok, I have a question, how should i start off the culture? because wouldnt adding a bunch of daphnia into the water cause ammonia spikes?? so should I add some of those nitrogen bacteria thingies that they sell in those bottles b 4 I add the daphnia? and possibly even after i introduce them...

Oh, but i add the water conditioner, so it should b fine right? And also, from the research, it said they also eat dissolved active dried yest as well... Is this true?? Or am i just gonna have to start a green water culture? I would actually like to refrain from making green water, so if there r...

oo ic, haha so i shuld pretty much treat them as any other type of fish/invert. silly me, haha i thot tht daphnia can sumhow magically survive in a container. Ive been readin a bunch of articles, but it said tht airline tubing isnt neccesary, and tht they can live on yeats.... so thts what ive...

Anyone??

Im trying to culture daphnia, but they r dying in a matter of days.. I keep them in a small plastic container tht they sell @ the markets, i use tap water with water conditioner. Also for food, i dissolve some active dry yeast with water... But i have noticed tht when i got the daphnia in the...

Alright thanks!

Im trying to culture daphnia, and i was wondering if they need an airline tubing to circulate the water.. Is this absolutley necessary? Or will they b fine without it??

Hi all, i have been out of this hobby for a while, and i was wondering if all six line wrasses will attack motile inverts. Im asking this because i used to have a six line wrasse in my tank, and when i introduced a couple of peppermint shrimps, it immediately rushed over and attacked it, killing...

just feed him once a day. also u can try target feeding him using a turkey baster. i always use it to feed my fish cuz its alot easier. ( all my fish are shy except for my six line wrasse which eats anything.) good luck with ur fishkeeping!

ok Do NOT get those pyramid feeders. They do not work in the saltwater aquarium. Do your clowns eat flakes? if they do, then get one of those automatic feeder things and set it up to your tank. since they dump alot of food in, I would test it out and c how much food is dumped each time. Also how...

I wouldnt b too concerned... I had a clown not eat for a week and a half. and he was still fine afterwards. Now hes a fat 3 year old clown that tries to bite my finger off when I clean the tank lol.

i know its beneficial...... but i hate cleaning the back glass!!! ARRRG!!! it takes me like an hour to get everything clean..... hehe well then again in such a neat freak so i might be exaggerating..... i tend to like everything sparkly clean :D

yes definitely add a powerhead if you are going to add some coral later on. even without corals, powerheads can be a plus by adding water movement, reducing growth of unwanted algea and gunk in the corners. 850gph is kinda high... I think something along the lines of 650 would b better. I use a...

Hi everyone, I have a whole crap load of corraline algea that has accumulated over the years. at first I was happy because of the beautiful bright purple color... but now it has completely encrusted my live rock and is starting to go for the back of the tank. Right now it looks ugly because...

well if its nitrates then the only cure that I am aware of would b water changes..... however, I have heard of anaerobic bacteria getting rid of nitrates.... Im not sure.. try googling anaerobic bacteria in the marine aquarium and Im pretty sure things would come up.

whoa! pretty wierd stuff you got there!

no problem

haha my house keeper used windex on my 20 gallon tank... all my fishies died.... dont make the same mistake!!!!

actually ammonia and nitrite should be both down to zero.

hmmm im sorry for your loss.
