we have a big tank with coral. coral just dies. its like a living thing. juts replace it. to elongate its life, we spray it with mineral water every sooften. dont knwo if this works or if were just getting lucky long living corals but its worth a shot. and, be sre to clean the tank every day, if only just a little bit.
what college does he go to?

look up ohio state on the internet. find the home line. transfer to dorms. find his room from the operator, and call him. Go Buckeyes, btw.

1. Ask mom or dad for his dorm number (if they don have it, tell ur brother he is unloved)
2. Fresh water sounds good, make sure u know if it likes "fresh water" or "salt water."
3. What color is it?
4. try growing sea kelp:D
5. Don't buy see cucumbers, they will gross you out sooner or later.
6. Make sure the coral isn't brown, and no blood SHOULD be in the water. ( do mommy fish have periods?)
7. have fun:cool:

i am sorery if i misunderstand this but its coral...coral is in the ocean which makes it salt water...
6. Make sure the coral isn't brown, and no blood SHOULD be in the water. ( do mommy fish have periods?)
2 when coral dies it bleaches white.....not that i want brown coral but im jus clearing that up....im guessing there shouldnt be blood....and i assume th female fish have periods.....( yes sounds very weird)
