Q:well, its just an empty tank right now, we know it takes a lot of money to get one started, especially such a big one, so we have to take it one step at a time. we're on a limited budget, but really want one. i wanted to know what we should buy/do for it first, step by step, before its ready to have fish and other living things put in it. also if you could throw in an estimate on about how much to get it ready, (including everything except fish/coral/etc.)

The most important step isn't live rock but rather a good filtration system. And that include a excellent protein skimmer. If it is FO (Fish Only) tank you don't even need live rocks. I would strongly suggest buying a 40 to 55 gallon tank for sump. Then go about plumbing it. This is where you need to put a lot of effort and money.

Q:We are in fertilizer crisis. How can dolomite application (in soil) help in agriculture? Which is advisable to use: natural dolomite powder or quick dolomite?

I assume quick dolomite is similar to quick lime, it is just the decarbonated form of the mineral (the mineral is cooked at a high temperature, causing the loss of the CO2, converting the mineral into the more reactive oxide). Quick dolomite will be more readily soluble (the cations will be taken up into soil water more easily, thus making them available for use by the plants) than regular dolomite. At the same time, however, the material will be removed from soil faster. Which to use depends on your needs. If you have an acidic soil, I would think that adding the carbonate would generate a longer term neutralization of the soil, but if the neutralization or nutrient demands are immediate, the quick form would be better. More likely to get burning (killing of the plants) using the quick form, so be careful not to apply too much. I suggest talking to a supplier to learn more before using.

Q:I can‘t decide where to go in Italy the end of nov. It will be my husband, 10 month old and my parents. We wont be doing touristy stuff. Thanks!

i'm italian. italy is touristy, so it's hard not to do touristy stuff :) in the end of november in north begins to get cold, in south generally is still quite warm, if you are lucky, you could go to the sea. i think that unmissingble (will be this the correct word?) cities are, rome, naples, florence, venice and milan. in the end of november maybe you could find not much tourists

Q:Lets say, one or two billion years ago.And what scientific evidence is there, to back up your statement ? P.S. Serious responses only please (unless you want to display to the world and yourself, what a tiny, dysfunctional, brain you possess).

the evidence for salinity occurs directly in the nature of the sediments of that era. Chemical sediments are quite common (frequently iron-rich chemical sediments comprising siderite, magnetite, ankerite) along with all of the more normal calcite and dolomite carbonate sediments, so this is fairly good proof that the oceans had elevated salt contents. There is also evidence from fluid inclusions, tiny bubbles of water that get trapped in minerals during formation. But mostly, chemical considerations oblige a certain level of salinity, of chemical makeup of the oceans. Minerals that form from reaction with or directly from water will only form within fairly specific windows of compositions, so we can tell an awful lot about water chemistry from the mineralogy of sediments and of rocks weathered and altered by contact with sea water. Way back, earlier than you postulate, the ocean chemistry is more difficult to constrain because we have little rock to use as evidence. then you fall into a problem of exactly how did the water get there in the first place, and if the presumption is that it comes from exhalation of water resulting from volcanic activity, this tends to lead to the idea that sea water was actually more salty than now. The general thinking about ocean chemistry is that it is controlled (buffered) over the long term (order of 10 miillion years) by interaction of seawater with oceanic crust in areas with high heat flow (the water circulates through the crust in convection cells and has its chemistry altered to be in equilibrium with crust at moderate temperatures, 100-300 degrees C). if that helps.

Q:what is the most common rock-forming non silicate mineral?

The rain is going to kill you. Forget it. But if you're still suicidal, get one of the Suzuki dual sport motorcycles.

Q:Which one is better for weight, durability, and performance?

just lock it just like u lock ur car and no one will steel it . i

Q:does anybody know the biggest mansion or home with more than 20 rooms for sale?

Try this. The Searles Castle has towered over this Berkshire town for 120 years, its seven turrets and blue dolomite exterior creating a fortress at the end of Main Street. It has been walled off from the public as a home to the uber-rich and as a private school, and has opened its gates as a conference center and cultural attraction. Now, the French chateau-style castle is for sale — a $15 million property joining a small niche of the world's luxury real estate market.

Q:Which Warrior stick should I get?

Many vehicles use the same fluid for both systems. Check to see what your owners manual call for to be used in each.

Q:I used an 07 warrior dolomite clear hockey stick i recently broke it and i was wondering what is the diffrence if any at all between the 07 model and the 08 model. Diffrences like wieght grip feel etc.

the difference between these two sticks is minimal. they both work and shoot the same, the graphic is slightly different(barely noticeable) and the 08 is slightly lighter. so if you want to know the 07 is just as good and will cost less so go with that unless you had your heart set on the 08.

Q:A. feldspar‘s and muscovite mica.B. calcite and dolomite.C. hematite and pyriteD. carbonates and iron sulfides tricky on

The answer is A. feldspar's and muscovite mica. Muscovite has a layered structure of aluminum silicate sheets weakly bonded together by layers of potassium ions. The following are some of the more common feldspar minerals: ?Albite, (Sodium aluminum silicate) ?Oligoclase, (Sodium calcium aluminum silicate) ?Andesine, (Sodium calcium aluminum silicate) ?Labradorite, (Calcium sodium aluminum silicate) ?Bytownite, (Calcium sodium aluminum silicate) ?Anorthite, (Calcium aluminum silicate) ?Microcline, (Potassium aluminum silicate) ?Sanidine, (Potassium sodium aluminum silicate) ?Orthoclase, (Potassium aluminum silicate)
