Most of the joints in AGA stand are fastened by staples (believe it or not). It is supposed to get stronger as the weight applied. Make sure your...
+1. Most I'll pay for fully mature pest free live rock is $4/lb
For 8 gallon, you can find really good pieces of live rock from fellow aquatics near your area.
A few corner braces inside the stand won't hurt. Better safe than sorry. Your stand is only as strong as its weakest joint.
It should be fine. But you should drip acclimate when you add it back to your tank.
If you can find the mature live rocks (pest free) from fellow aquatics, go with live rocks. Otherwise, go with dry rocks with a few pieces of live...
I'd say let it be. Since you are cycling your tank, your parameters are nothing but stable. If you want to save him, give him to a fellow aquatic for...
For that size of tank, I'd go with glass because weight is not the issue unless you want round corner which is another advantage of acrylic over...
Ice bags won't work if you have larger system. Try blowing a fan to the surface of your DT. Make sure to top off because the more water will...
Changing salinity too quickly could cause stress. Try fresh water drip to top off and stabilize salinity.
Does it move itself recently? Mostly like it is the part of the foot which was recently detached from the rock. If it is the case, nothing serious.
Are you testing your water parameters - dKh, calcium, magnesium, ph? It is not safe to dose anything without knowing the current level. When you know...
How about the return pump? How is the water level in the return chamber? If the level is low, the pump could suck in the air. Also do you see the...
You will need to find the source of the micro bubbles. Most likely sources are skimmer and return pump.
Good choice. I'm not getting another anemone after the first one. It killed my chromis and 3 SPS. My clowns are hosting leather coral now.
I have the same skimmer but I did a little mod and I'm getting far better result. I added a maxi-jet 1200 powerhead to make more bubble. I'm getting...
Will also depend on the size of fish. I'd suggest a month at least.
You can try very fine filter media or heavy skimming.
Any plan on getting an anemone?
I have seen copepods floating around but your tank is not matured enough unless you have live rocks from an established tank. I wouldn't worry about...
