Sorry, I missed this post. You can find pretty much any information you could ever want about the ATS at algaescrubber.net. Personally, I...
It can be placed within the sump or built in a standalone container (5 gallon bucket, rubbermaid, etc).
+1 to the ATS. I just installed an upflow ATS 4 weeks ago now - my nitrates went from 20-40 to ~10 in those four weeks and phosphates have been...
You should probably learn to care about the bacteria - they are, after all, the only thing standing between your fish thriving happily and your fish...
Nice rescue, man! Definitely turned those things around, they look great.
I thought about going there for the first time the other day, more-or-less just to see what it was like. Then decided I was too lazy to make the...
That sounds perfectly adequate. The mini-cycle would definitely be my guess. Things should stabilize soon. Just keep feeding him regularly (and...
I've heard certain wrasses eat them, though I have no experience with that. Unfortunately, I was infested their clam-munching brethren - didn't...
Fish can safely go for up to a week without food. That's not to say they'll die after 7 days and 1 hour without food, either - they can live much...
Definitely a feather duster.
Natural population self-regulation, perhaps? I wouldn't complain :P. However, still keep an eye out for them - I'd be surprised if they don't...
Can't beat that! Nice deal.
When I was reading about them yesterday it seemed like just about everyone was using these little cheapo Rio pumps.
They'll spread fairly quickly under acceptable conditions.
I believe so. Looks like it's designed to skim the surface (similar to a HOB overflow) then draw the water into the skimmer. But again, that's just...
Also, this is my best guess for the first skimmer you posted. Again, at $40 it doesn't seem like a bad deal (especially if it comes with a pump, but...
Excalibur HV1, perhaps? It's a HOB, so if you're looking for in-sump stay away. Can't really comment in the quality as I have absolutely zero...
Can't help you with the model, but it certainly appears to be in-sump.
I've got two GBTA's in my tank that used be one. Prior to the split, I never once saw it bubble. Post-split, the smaller portion constantly shows...
The "Green Killing Machine" is just an internal UV sterilizer - it's highly unlikely that it's powerful enough to have an effect on Ich. Honestly,...
Separate names with a comma.
