Did you acclimate the snail before introducing it to the tank?

My first bet is that your phosphates are pretty high.Test your phosphates first to see what your levels are. I'm not aware of any products that are safe for inverts but that doesn't mean there aren't any (look at Dr Foster & Smith's website). Do you have a sump? maybe you could put some chaeto...

I remember reading that it could possibly kill shrimp if they hang around the area that is treated. It did not state specifically what type of shrimp. I think the key is to follow the directions on the site and read up/google as much as you can before attempting to use around them. I just did a...

Use chemi pure elite as a filtration media & Don't overfeed your fish. Also, stay away from pellet/dry foods get frozen and check your phosphate levels. Another idea is go to a site called www.about.com. type in hydrogen peroxide treatment for algae. There are also vids on youtube that show how...

did u quarantine the new fish before introducing? I had the same prob last month. My mistake was introducing a new fish without doing the quarantine first and 4 of my fish got the ich. By the time I realized it...it was already too late and they died

dwarf angels are usually not reef safe so make sure you do your research before buying any fish to see compatibility and reef "safeness"

it will have 3 chambers. 1st chamer will be where i put sponge and chemipure. 2nd chamber will be skimmer and last chamber return pump. I haven't put in baffles yet just have the design on paper

yeah

Does it really matter whether you put the sump in 1st or second chamber of your sump? I thought of putting a sponge and chemi pure in first chamber and then sump in the second. What are your thoughts?

I see online it's pretty hard to get an ORA unless I go my my LFS ...ughhh....too bad we only have a Petco here but we'll see what they say

Really? I was planning on eventually getting a mandarin so I wanted to have a refugium with pods in my sump. So do you grow your pods in an entirely seperate tank?

how much are u asking?

Awesome thanks!!

where can I buy the magnets? home depot maybe? Do you have a pic of your sump I can look at?

but what do you zip tie it to? I guess I'm not understanding :)

I saw a setup on youtube that used it for the refugium part of the sump to keep the chaeto in place but I couldn't tell how the eggcrate was held.

What can I use that's nontoxic to glue eggcrate to the glass in my sump?

But in order to keep them populating in the refugium itself......nothing?

Okay so I may add a refugium either to my sump or some other way. Once I add pods and some chaeto, do I need to feed anything to the pods in the refugium? Or do they do okay just eating waste from the main display once they get sucked into it?

How come I have coraline algae growing on my glass and not on my live rock??
