I'm at work right now but here are some pics of off my phone. The few pieces of coral you see I've had in there since last...
I've tried listing everything many times over the past year, I've gotten some tips but none of which worked. So hopefully you may have some better...
Same here. My top lasts a month and for the whole month it sits stagnant in the plastic trash can. It smells musty/moldy so I'm wondering if the...
Is there a way to test for leaching chemicals or is it just cheaper to change out the Rubbermaid bins?
Yes I am. The meter and solution are from Bulk Reef Supply. I believe the calibration fluid is at 35 ppm or ppt. Should I raise salinity gravity to...
I'm pretty sure it's at 35ppm. The refractmeter measures both, and the 35ppm is right across from 1.025.
Yes, salinity is currently at 1.025
I'm really flustered by this issue. For one year I've been dealing with this and its very annoying. I've tried lots of water changes, no water...
Yeah I'm not sure what's wrong with my corals. Ever since I've started running reef tanks with a sump and skimmer, my corals never grew. I used...
How do I test for chemicals that plastic or silicone may be leaching into the water?
So last year I built a sump and I ran out of silicone so I bought a tube of kitchen/bath silicone to glue my last baffle in place. For the past year...
So do you think i should keep the lights dimmed for a few weeks? About the water being too clean, i tried "dirtying" it up but i started getting...
Yeah they're the 20k multichips. But i would imagine they're the same ones that companies like Orphek use so they can't be that bad. I mean they are...
What leds do you have? I use diy crees for actinic and 30 watt multi chips for white. I did dim them recently for 2 days but it didn't do anything....
My corals haven't grown much under leds at all, but I have mostly soft coral with 3 sps. Since buying zoas, and other polyps they might have only...
I didn't mean you had no clue what you were doing. There are a lot of myths with this hobby and people are prone to believing anything. People say...
That's an awesome looking feather duster, what kind is it? And do feather dusters like reef chilli?
Yeah that's real weird, I kind of doubt it was the silicone. I used the bathroom mildew resistant stuff for years without issues. Once it's dried it...
I have not tried the garlic on the nori, so I will also try that. I soaked some brine shrimp in garlic and it wouldn't touch that either. I just wish...
Ok I will see where I can get some of those tonight.
