I have added 5-10 gal of water all at once in my 70gal tank with no issues

[greenlime100]

Likewise I usually top off 5 gallons weekly in my 100gal comfortably.

I also just dump my water in my sump, but i was reading about this causing shock to inverts. I little concerned since i finally got two peppermint shrimp to survive again; i also have no more aptasia

5 gal of water in a large tank is not going to shock your inverts. Your salinity range will only go up . something of a reading on a refractometer. nothing to kill them
Now if you talking about dumping 5 gals in a 10 or 15gal tank well YESS!!!!

Great I just msg my Skybox company today to find out if there was any restrictions.

I say I would call Raj to find out if he brings it in to save me the hassle.

What type and brand did u purchase?

Do you have to hatch it or just pour it into your tank?

[dgobo]

Its live stuff, just need to put it in. No raj does not have anything like that. He gave me some PhytoPlan which the mandarin might eat

[UML]

Wah brand you buy?

I want to buy Reef Nutrition Tigger Pods

Looking to see if I can find amphipods to buy as well

[UML]

K websource say dey can't ship it because it is alive.

Let me know if you get through, if they survive the shipping and who you ship it with.

Good luck!

[dgobo]

I not telling my skybox company what is it. I'm just telling them its for aquarium and I need it over night.

[HondaB20B]

Just pray it don't reach your skybox late a fri evening and has to stay over the weekend.
I have bought in tiger pods on 2 occasions in my luggage and once placed in the fridge, they have gone just over a week. Find out if they can be shipped with a cold pack.

[dgobo]

Yip they ship standard with a cold pack and it will leave there shop on monday . should reach my skybox by Tuesday and if they don't mess up it should reach here Wednesday , Thursday for the las test.

[UML]

[HondaB20B]

[HondaB20B]

Reds, Purple/blue, and some multicolor ones (different shade of green with blue and orange) also some different camouflage ones. All are $300-400 EACH.
Most are like 8-12 mushrooms on one rock

Hi guys,

I have an aquarium with heavy hard water stains, everything I have tried hasn't worked. Can anyone tell me where I can find Oxalic Acid, saw some youtube vids where this worked best

http://www.amazon.com/Oxalic-Acid-99%25-bag-C2H2O4/dp/B007HUPP7E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410827986&sr=8-2&keywords=oxalic+acid

Thanks,

[UML]

Not sure if it will work but try some vinegar.

You tried a razor blade and some water?

Still looking for mushrooms

[UML]

Do you use US gallons or imperial gallons for your tank?

I recently realized I had been calculating my tank incorrectly.

Just thought I should share for the benefit of all.

[HondaB20B]

I use the US gallon because most dosing products and stuff like salt is based on the US gallon
