Okay thank you.

Hi everyone, I think this might be a dumb question but, is it possible to use the water from the Macroalgae to cycle the tank? I have read forms and talked to the local pet store on how to cycle a new tank and many say to just buy fish. The fish will cycle the tank because any living animal produces...

I forgot to upload the pic of the lace type of rock.

Oh thank you. The tank I got from wal-mart. I just got some crush coral from the pet-co today and this rock that one of the employees told me about. He is a marine biologist. He told me that this a type of lace rock that will help build good bacteria, and the crush coral should be removed when the d...

Hi everyone, I am sorry if this is a repeat of a previous post. I just cant find the post I made earlier. I have recreated my shrimp tank. The set up is like my last one but this time less gravel. For this set up I will be ordering snails compared to the last one I did not. Questions I am also a bit...

HI

Thanks for the information. For the topping off part with RO or distilled water, dose it have to be brackish water ( mixed with salt) ot just plain R.O/ distilled water? Also do you know where I can get coral?

Thank you

Update on shrimp I am sad to inform you that all 18 shrimps have passed away. I took the water to pet co to get the water tested and found nothing wrong with the water a few days ago. Since my last post I left the shrimps alone and notice none of them coming the surface to enjoy the light. Yesterday...

Hi everyone,

I have been looking around the forms for the buffering of the water. I wanted to know for the egg shells is it better
1) to clean the egg shells and crush them
2) clean the egg shell and leave them whole
3) Do not clean and crush
4) Do not clean and leave whole

Thank you

I didnt know I had to wait a whole month to buy the micro and the snails and another to buy the shrimps. Thank you for the update.

Hi Mustafa, I am very sorry for spamming the contact us page. I just that every time I submitted the form it would bug out and say error. I have gotten the water tested and taken out the heater and currently waiting. I have read all of the things for the opea ula shrimp that were posted in the super...

Hi everyone, I have a situation that some of you might have regarding the recent temperature change. I brought a few opea ula from you a few months ago. I would like to inform you they are doing well till of recent. The temp where I live has dropped tremendously. I brought a heater for them. The tem...

Ok, thank you Mustafa for your advice. I found out that if I took off the top of the tank to expose it to light they start to move is it because they think it is too cold to move even in room temp. Or is it because they need natural lighting? My set up is in my desk at home with the blinds close at ...

Hi I just got 17+ 1 opea ula shrimp from Mustafa yesterday. They arrived happy and well from what I could tell from the bag. I did notice that there was yarn inside the bag. I do not know why and for what purpose there was a small amount of yarn inside the bag. The shrimps were then moved in to a ta...

Hi I am still new to this but I wanted to know if this is normal. I took some distilled water and put in half the amount of instant ocean salt. Then I added EGG SHELLS into the tank and left it next to the window. After 1 week and a few days I poured the water into the fish tank and it SMELLS. The s...

Hi Hi every one, I recently got some opae ula from a ecosphere and was wondering why they only die in 2-3 years. Till I found this site and was sad to hear they they only lived that long cause of lack of food and space. I wanted to get your options on my new environment talk for them. I have 5 opae ...
