my first tank I waited a month or two after the cycle. This time round as soon as my cycle finished, I threw in some acan frags, two montipora frags,...
FWIW, turnover = liters per hour of all things moving water, divided by the volume of your tank. For example, if you have 1200L/h movement in a 60...
Not sure of scientific names on these, however the third picture is feather caluerpa. Not sure on the other
Calcium and magnesium can wait, until you start dabbling in stony corals (FWIW the only genii of corals in my tank are acropora, montipora, and...
Well said. Another option is to buy an RO/DI filter for yourself.
Dosing often pertains to calcium magnesium and alkalinity, the big 3, required for good stony coral growth and health. Since you are doing mostly...
The frag arrived pink? It was blue and purple on their website right? Glad they worked out for you. I've been Creeping on their website a lot...
Hoping someone suggested before me... Check out the orange and green spath colony for $139...if it's still there ;)
I think you mean nitrates of 10ppm and not .10. I'd say you're good to add the clowns, wait a week with testing to, then once the water quality is...
I've always thought of 30-50X for LPS (frogspawns, hammers and torches for example) while SPS appreciate 70X to 100X+. Softies can range depending on...
If I had to guess; a male carpenter's too. In the last picture you can see the pretty well developed anal and dorsal fins.
second one looks like a carpenter's, not sure make or female though
Looks like a male McCoskers to me, though I'm sure evolved with give you a definite answer. Pretty nonetheless.
Way too hard to say imo, definitely an acropora but not sure beyond that. Maybe A. caroliniana? Looks like a smooth skin "deep water" Deep water is...
Jebao makes cheap dosing pumps. Generally you get what you pay for. Doubt they can reverse either.
I have the same problem. Don't have the budget to spend $350 on a colony just yet. LA/DD recently had a spathulata frag for grabs on the aquacultured...
You're getting that spathulata frag? I've had my eye on it! Post pics when you get it
Me too my friend, glad to see we both feel the same about rap ;)
I've always considered care similar to acans/micromussa. Low indirect light but decent flow. If they have good flow of just give them time.
A lot of times, if it's not wysiwyg, the companies frag off a piece that is growing under the main colony. Where it is getting shaded out, as opposed...
