Thank you one & all, once again. Too kind, you really are. To the one that asked about the fertilizer: I've tried both with & without Haltz(sp?) and have seen no real difference between the two as far as the overall health of the tank. The fish did seem to have a bit of a crosseyed look with the Haltz added, but that could have just been a coincidence. Or, maybe it was the Kingsford Charcoal briquettes I'd added for additional filtration? I dunno, but the fish don't have crossed eyes anymore...although, it's harder to see their eyes at all, they've developed this trick of swimming upside down lately that I just don't get. Perhaps they're doing it for April Fools' day? Guess we'll see tomorrow if the joke's over.
SilverShark, I don't really understand your negative comments to be quite honest. As you've seen from the rest of the remarks here, my tank has turned out to be quite pretty if you ask me.
Oh, and as for using used socks as a pre-filter for your saltwater, I'd really recommend against it. While it does remove quite a few impurities, you really don't want to see what happens when you accidentally introduce a case of athelete's foot into the tank:eek2: Trust me, you've never seen fish flash & itch until you've given them athelete's foot
On another note, I've been considering another fish for the tank and would like to ask you all for your opinions.
Option one - a pair of naso tangs. I love their color, and I think I'd be better off getting a pair of them rather than one so that they can at least occupy themselves with each other since they won't have much room to swim
Option two - a white tipped shark. I know, I know...they get a little violent. BUT, I think if I treat it well, give it a little therapy and feed it well, I can convince him to leave the other fish alone.
Option three - a moorish idol. These are just cool fish, aren't they?
Option four - open to suggestions here, bring em on!
Thanks again for all your kind words, I can't tell you how much they mean after all my hard work.
