I suppose. I cleaned it fairly regularly, just a quick wipe w/a tissue about every 3 months or so. When it does fail due to not being cleaned, it...
Thanks!! I don't know if it'll make a difference but I used brown striped hermit for that task, not a blue or red.
Similar experience. My JBJ got thrown away for its uselessness and I use a Tunze w/optical sensor and it has never failed in 5 years. Well, I did...
When I moved, I changed from CC to sand substrate. I wish I wouldn't have done that. CC looked better (IMO) and had much less issues with algae and...
blue prints, x-ray vision, those sorts of things. :P There are some clues - like looking where the load bearing walls are and which way they'd need...
who you calling old?! :baby: ;D
I have a geothermal AC and it keeps my house pretty darn dry. My towels dry fast and it is all around much more comfortable. It's great for heating...
Finally! ::) ;D
Very cool
IME a tank will naturally find a balance and want to stay there. Fighting it to enforce your own arbitrary parameter values is a losing battle (to...
IME this is the mushroom not being entirely happy with location. Could be too much flow or too much light. IME, too little flow and/or light isn't...
I use aquamedic doser. I use BRS materials and I make the solution per their instructions. I did some baseline tests on the doser to see how much...
How can it be tamed, besides magic? How do you keep the mat from forming? How do you pick up and toss pieces floating around the tank at random...
Short term it is fine. Long term, it is not correct. You need both. There are a few threads talking about it.
With regular WC, you may not need to dose. if your numbers drop too much, you may find you are dosing your WC water. epsom salt is magnesium...
I used 2 part dosing, so did not buffer for alk/ca/ph. Every few months I'd need to add Mg - I'd put enough to raise the tank ~150 points into the...
OB, if you are not familiar, anthelia can dominate your tank in a matter of weeks. It makes aiptasia look slow in comparison IME. If you try to...
That looks like maybe star polyps or even possibly young anthelia. agree that looks like it's growing on a mat, so not aiptasia. either way, I'd...
I used this for my ATO [IMG] Uses a laser to measure water height. The floater is a back up. That pulled water from a 5 gallon reservoir I have....
I've seen someone that had a tank, little bigger than yours, but he epoxied in some acrylic panels and essentially made the side of his tank the sump...
