HEHEHE, my CUC is almost nothing at all.. About 5 various hermits and 50 small snails. That's it. :) I determined that the 75 was too small...
I would open the bag, and stick an airstone in it to give the fish some aeration. As the fish sits in the bag the ammonia will raise, O2 levels will...
I recommend starting here: http://www.3reef.com/forums/water-chemistry/ph-rant-56815-2.html I started a PH thread a few months ago. If you get...
The Marine Betta (aka Comet). Scientific Name: Calloplesiops altivelis As I stated in my previous post, I have had the pleasure of raising a...
Oh, glad to hear that you aren't having problems. :) I don't believe that there is an issue, but there are probably some here that may disagree....
I thought that it could be helpful to begin a thread about one of my favorite fish... The Marine Betta (aka Comet). I am focusing feeding, and...
.3V DC? I would check AC because you are feeding the tank AC voltage, and not much DC.. Are you having issues with your tank, and this is the first...
Were you measuring AC or DC voltage? Also, how were you measuring? Were both leads in the water, or was one on a ground and the other in the water?
Hello, What other fish do you have in the 45? The beta will likely attempt to eat it. They will also eat any small invert/fish that will fit in...
As long as it has light, flow, and nutrients it should do great! :) Good luck!
I don't want to hijack this thread. So, I will start another detailing the battle; I will post it tomorrow. Here are a couple of "now" photos. As...
Are you sure that they are diatoms, and not dinoflagellates? The 1 year mark can bring some nasty algae issues.. Do you have a photo?...
There are many different designs for denitrators. As you mentioned, a sulfur denitrator is one, but there are also coil denitrators and...
Looks like a spaghetti worm to me.. They are generally harmless detrivores.. Here is some info for you:...
This is going to a bit lengthy, but I have defeated the brown scourage (I identified it as dinos, cyano, and diatoms-microscopically), and I will...
SOOO many possibilities could be causing this. Do you aerate your mix water? If so, how long? What kind of turnover rate do you have in your...
I agree, but chronically low PH can cause degenerative health problems over time. Here is a quote to consider: "Prolonged exposure to sub-lethal pH...
You've noticed this too, eh?! :) I don't have anymore friends because I don't let them come over anymore. I tell them they will hurt my PH......
Thank you for the reply! When you test your calcium levels, essentially you are testing the free calcium in the water.
The salt that never mixed is very likely a precipitate of calcium carbonate... Are you aerating the water thoroughly for 24 hours BEFORE adding the...
