If the tank is in good health when I stop, and if I'm only dosing the small dose (1/16th) I'm doing now, it will be cold turkey, otherwise I'll be...
Day 20. The first 14 days, dosed 1/8 tsp per 10 gallons. The past 16 days, dosed 1/16 tsp per 10 gallons to reduce the amount of alk it's adding....
BTW you don't need to use 2X6's on the top and bottom frames. 2X4's will work fine.
I strongly suggest you keep your design as you have it drawn, with 1 easy change. Put a vertical 2X4 going from the floor all the way to the top,...
OK folks, here are some pics of the photosynthetic gorgonians. Hoping to get them fully ID'ed soon ;). Two types in this pic. One has a light blue...
Yes, I had to paint about half of the other ones I made. You have two options. Paint before gluing, or paint after. Paint-first is by far easier,...
You can also make a "glue applicator" to really keep glue spillage and runs to a minimum. I made about 20 of these after I posted this DIY thing on a...
Easy. Take a charger of the right voltage, keep unplugged, and lop off the adapter on the very end of it. Strip the two strands of wire about...
I'm not exactly sure what these are called, but I made 8 of these a couple years ago for The Reef Farm, who has vats that can only be seen from the...
19 days into this. No negative effects other than the elevated alk, but it's only 11. Water remains very, very clear. I will test nitrates later....
Agreed with all the above, you probably have "one of each" in terms of hitch-hiker filter feeders and copepods.
The mini-carpet is being a drama queen, it isn't happy at all. It moved to a shaded area last night with moderate/high flow, looks kinda...
I thought they were all called Monty Pora.
That second pic is a Facebook link. Won't work, Facebook is private and won't allow hotlinking. You need to use something like Photobucket.
If you wanted to do a 100% extraction, just kill your return pump, scrape out all the red algae, scrub the glass down to remove any remaining tissue,...
Goniopora won't usually open up fully for a day or two, at least. I personally prefer to slightly overkill the acclimation on these, they seem to...
More Pics! I can't get any good pics of the gorgonians yet. I now have 3 different species of photosynthetic gorgs, but they aren't open fully yet....
I got one blue leg hermit from Reefcleaners in a bag that had limpets in it. I ordered a few limpets for my nano (along with some other stuff) and...
You can do a simple reef stocked with hardy (and colorful) soft corals and LPS with minimal filtration, as long as you take several precautions to...
OK...... Just added a green/red min-carpet anemone, several species of photosynthetic gorgonians, and a really odd looking branched montipora...
