How big is your tank?

Check your water parameters and where do you putthem, and check these http://www.wetwebmedia.com/xeniidfaqs.htm and http://www.wetwebmedia.com/xeniidarts.htm

I have 2 Sexy shrimps, 1 Cleaner and a 2-3 Peppermint shrimps that are living in peace for quite some time now (75 gal) (almost a year)

I have seen it in every Home Depot and Lowes I have been to. The only problem is that they might not stock the exact thickness (thick) you are looking for.

Be advised that by just drying the rock, you a) will not get rid of algae because the their spores will most certainly survive it b) you will not remove the nutrients used by the hair algae. Baking it or microwaving it or UV-ing it might kill it. Scrubbing it might remove the outer layer and...

How big is your tank? Your profile says 55g .

What is a "soon" ? Remember that they do survive nights and cloudy days :) . So, they will survive a few days without any light (or you wouldn't have mail order shipping of them ;) ). Not to mention that many corals (LPS) need dark lights as an integral part of their feeding process (when they...

Good luck. I was reasoning like you when I had sargasum in my tank. After 3 months of "washing" my hands in the tank and damaging several corals while pruning, I had enough of it and bought a Naso tang.

you are not affraid that your macro algae will interfer with corals and maybe overrun everything?

And for those that are STILL wandering what it is for ??? Ozone helps oxidation, and decomposition and removal of desolved biomater, but it is still considerd harmfull for the living things (at certain concentrations) so it needs to be removed from the water before it enters the tank.

To scare the fish, of course, why else put something like that in ;) Used as a part of ozonizer: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ozonefaq2.htm

a) Those fish discussed and clenaup crews can withstand realy big swings in those parameters (and they did in my previous tanks). Hey, even corals vere surviving the 84 degees I found in my tank few days ago when I discovered heater stuck on on in all this heat. As for lights, fish and cleanup...

Here is a nice explanation on Wet Web Meadia, with the further links: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/redox.htm

Degasser removes disolved gas from liquids. Of course, I would never guessed that this is one.

Hermits and snails certainly can go in. However, your tank is not optimally cycling, it is more like curing right now (assuming you did put live rock in and not a base rock). Only with something that is massively producing amonia, you can start full throtle nitrogen cycle. So, pick any hardy...

I am not sure if we all understood what exactly you were asking. If you were asking how to HATCH brine shrimp from eggs that you can buy in any pet shop, then it is trivial. Add eggs to salt water or if you bought SF mix, then to fresh water, put that in any soda bottle, add air tube and bubble...

1. looks like either Colpophyllia sp. or Mycetophyllia sp. Platygira sp. has shorter and more rounded valleys, but then it can be that too. 3. take your pick : Siderastrea sp. or Gardineroseris sp. or Coeloseris sp. or Leptastrea sp. or Goniastrea sp. or Favites sp. All except the last two are...

Paying mmebers can upload pics and see profiles (and maybe some other things).

Have you paid?

If it is like small bubble forming, I had something like that on my birds nest. Mine was definitively not from too much light because it happened on two corals on different depths both being only under PCs. To me that looked only as bacteria. Its started only when I introduced a new fish and a...
