I didn't catch if this aquarium was glass or acrylic, but when bonding acrylic to acrylic where there is a need for strength and hold, silicone...
Those things (I. obsoleta) come in the thousands if not millions where I am from. All it takes is a flashlight and a walk in the inlets to see how...
Here is one thing that has not been mentioned. It is not absolutely required to have a successful reef tank. But it will make sure that you do not...
Hi FeedFish, welcome to the forums :). I have two beautiful reef tanks, but for the life of me cannot keep a simple freshwater aquarium with 3 fish...
Many times your readings will read 0 phosphates and nitrates when you have an algae bloom. The nutrients are taken right out the water as soon as...
Red turf algae can be a pain to remove as it takes some effort and force to remove. I myself have some red turf algae growing on my LR, but my urchin...
Now I gotta figure out where to get a whale shark and manta ray for my nanos! In all seriousness though, amazing video and thank you for posting. It...
I have not seen coralline coat GHA. Especially for it to be so completely engulfed like that. It may be a possibility as I have coralline growing on...
Wow, what the others said. I guess I was a little slow in answering :P
In your pictures, it looks like the "coralline algae" is bumpy and raised with mass growing on top of it. Bubbles are forming all over it as well....
Looks like a colt coral to me.
macon77, it is no problem and you are welcome. I am kind of obsessed with stomatopods and am more than happy to give any help/info I can on them....
They are vermetid snails. If you have a nutrient rich tank (overfeeding and the like), they may increase to plague like proportions and irritate...
Its okay. I keep two different stomatopods (mantis shrimp) in different tanks and both are okay with fish and corals. If anything, the fish are quite...
Hi all, I started this thread for some ideas on my final fish in my 34g tank with a 10g sump. I plan it to become a SPS dominated tank in the future...
I would leave them in if that unlikely event does happen. Hatchling mantis shrimps are TINY and when they die off they should not affect your water...
I have to agree for the most part with that statement. But it is possible to house stomatopods together. Two mantis in a tank will work if you have a...
If you have LR and/or a sand bed in your tank, you more than likely already have some copepods and amphipods in your tank. Once you make your pod...
Some funny stories, I think the funniest thing I have done is similar to the mistaking LR for coral story. When I first started keeping reef tanks,...
Ah, I did not know we were allowed to link to other forums. Here are some threads stating that. Dr. Caldwell's user name is Gonodactylus in this...
