Just got this one last week. It's opening up and looks very healthy, except for one spot on a lower section, which looks like it's disintegrating or...
And, as far as budget goes, I buy the Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime (Kalkwasser) for $5.00 a pound, and use a $9.00 glass iced tea dispenser to drip it...
Man, isn't that the truth! ;) I have a home made 10 gal fuge on my 110, and flow about 180gph of raw unfiltered water through it. It seems to do...
I would think that most systems flow from the sump back to the tank would be to high for a UV sterilizer to be effective. I've never used one, but I...
But they're not as pretty. ;D
I would consider any rock from a 7 year old tank "Live", and treat it as such. I agree on ditching the sand bed, but as long as you're careful, the...
I would quit supplementing anything I couldn't test for, do a few water changes, and go from there. Besides that, I didn't notice you mentioning...
Before I started using RO water my KH was around 26 GKH. Since switching to RO it stays around 13 to 14. We do have very hard water here, so I'm...
Cool! I remember reading somewhere about some else trying that, maybe it was you? I think it worked, but even if it wasn't that, I'd still do it...
We just got this little guy last Thursday, and by Sunday he still would have nothing to do with the LTA. Sunday night I taped a picture of a clown...
I've actually had good luck catching damsels. I put a pinch of flake food in a net, lower it in the water, and scoop 'em out as fast as they come...
What size tank? How much rock? Do not "start out" with any inverts or corals. If you use the average of 1 lb. rock per gallon, and it's cured,...
The best way to dissolve salt in new water is with water movement. "Hot" water is not necessary at all. If you put a heater in your mixing tank (to...
Then the problem was obviously a bacterial bloom. I'm glad the UV took care of it, although that may be temporary! My recent experience is that...
B.S. Our last tank included a BUNCH of live rock and other small stuff we collected from Kure Beach (N.C.) and we never had a single problem. It...
I'm a musician and am working on a two year (and counting!) project with my current band. My main influences are (in no certain order) Randy Rhoads,...
Well, the reason we chose grape Caulerpa was that back in the day (about 17 years ago!) I kept it in my fish/anemone tanks and never had any...
It is my understanding that Caulerpa can reproduce as long as there is a day/night lighting schedule (even if it's reversed). I thought the only...
Thanks! Yes, we are a little afraid of the Caulerpa. What you see there has grown to that size in just two weeks! I can definitely see how it...
Just wanted to let everyone know our new tank is doing very well! Again, all of your help has been very appreciated! We have lots and lots of...
