My Tank Build

**charlie** · 10-27-2007, 12:08 PM

If you think they are going downhill, it would probably be best to move them. In reality, only you can tell, you are just going to have to keep a close eye on things. Wish you luck!!!!

Ok, thanks charlie. I'm gonna watch the fish untill I think they are in poor conditions. I'm not far now....
Thanks for the help

***Reefland*** · 10-28-2007, 04:47 PM

If I understand correctly, you have these fish in anotehr tank with less than "good" water conditions? If that is the case, I would go ahead and move them to the new tank.

kgeorge · 10-28-2007, 06:56 PM

Yes Reefland. The water is gone south in my former "rock tank" but the fish are still holding out right now. I'm tryin to make it as long as I think they are still safe.

Where's the best place online to buy a good clean-up crew? That doesn't charge an arm and a leg for shiping?

***Reefland*** · 10-28-2007, 09:16 PM

I haven't used them yet but they seem to have some good prices. Check out one of our new sponsors, Reefscavengers.

Kyle I order mine from Blue Zoo Aquatics.

They have some great packages for good prices. They pack and ship them well and even followed up on my last order to make sure I got everything ok. They also put more of each species that I ordered in the bags just in case some were lost in the shipping.

Blue Zoo Aquatics :: Products List

They have an all snail package and some mixes so check it out.

I also want to add that I prefer a snail/crab mix because I believe the mixture does a better janitorial job. This causes me to replenish snails more often because yes the crabs do kill/steal their shells so it's a bigger financial burden but I belive it's worth it.

kgeorge · 10-29-2007, 04:01 PM

Anyone else have any suggestions?

***Reefland*** · 10-29-2007, 04:03 PM

eTropicals.com - Live fish, corals, inverts, plants, live rock & sand has good prices and free shipping over a threshold for their cleaners.

**charlie** · 10-30-2007, 08:11 AM

I have always had good success with Reeftopia.

kgeorge · 10-30-2007, 02:23 PM

Reeftopia is one that I found a while back and couldn't find it again! Thanks Charlie, I appreciate it!

**charlie** · 10-30-2007, 07:02 PM

Try this:

Reef aquarium invertebrates and reef safe fish

You are welcome.

Live Rock Ricky · 10-31-2007, 12:06 AM

how about your FLS? This way you know what you are getting.

kgeorge · 10-31-2007, 12:43 AM

I guess you mean LFS? I'm not at all up on the abbreviations! If that is what you meant then the only thing really local is Petco and I'm not very trusting of them right now. The fish have ich very bad and they only have turbo snails for the most part. I wish we had a good pet store..........

Live Rock Ricky · 10-31-2007, 08:57 AM

i agree. petco is horrible. we have many specialty fish stores around here.

kgeorge · 10-31-2007, 01:15 PM

I wish that was like that here. I ordered last night from Reeftopia.... They will be here tomorrow so i'll let yall know how they look!

Live Rock Ricky · 10-31-2007, 01:40 PM

damn... i probably have about 10 stores in a one hour radius drive....

kgeorge · 10-31-2007, 10:14 PM

That would be amazing. There's not a "quality" one within a 2 hour drive of here! That's what I get for Arkansas!

Live Rock Ricky · 10-31-2007, 10:39 PM

so i never have to buy anything online......

kgeorge · 11-01-2007, 06:01 PM

Lol, well it was all here this morning at 9:30. I just got done putting it all in. They look great. The snails have coraline on the shells. The emeralds are all descent size. Crabs were all alive. Everything is great. I must say, I will use Reeftopia again!!! Did I say they had great prices too? Prolly the best i've seen in fact!
