Gatortailale April 8, 2005 Share April 8, 2005 Happy Spring All! WHAT'S NEW? We received two shipments of corals in this week including lots of Star Polyps, Plate's, Long-Tentacle Plates, Xenia, Maze and Favia Brains, Euphillya's, lots more leathers, mushrooms, polyps, orange and red sponges and some nice yellow Sea Finger gorgonians. We also received in some nice smaller Flame angels, some Kole tangs, a Jewel damsel, and a couple cute Green Banded gobies great for smaller reef tanks. We are also expecting a shipment of Button Colony Fiji Live Rock this Friday. This rock has an assortment of orange, green and sometimes red zoanthids covering each piece so it makes a great splash of color to fill in an empty space. WHAT'S ON SALE?

Did you know that a small water change may be better for your tank than a larger one? Small, frequent and regular water changes will keep the water in your tank more stable, clean and healthy. Water changes replenish the trace elements, dilute nitrate and help keep the pH and alkalinity stable. If you are doing large changes after long intervals your water may already be depleted of important trace elements, be dangerously high in nitrates and have a low pH. Over time your aquarium critters adjust to these conditions gradually. If you do a large water change you may bring the water parameters back to normal all within a few minutes. Your aquarium life may not be able to acclimate to this drastic change in water quality in such a short period of time. If you change a small amount, say 10% of the water on a regular, frequent basis, say every other week your animals may barely notice any change and live much happier, healthier and longer lives. Do you know if your water change schedule stressing out your fish and inverts? Hope to see you in this weekend!
