Gracilia is a free floating algae that grows best in reletively high current. (Tumbling in the water with a flow of about 10x volume is what I've...
Probably. That would require constant cleaning, though. Deep down I'm really very lazy! :)
I suppose a peristaltic pump would work, but that wouldn't prevent them from entering the main sump .... there would still need to be a higher flow...
He's already said that stainless is by far the cheapest route for him. (Becuase of his fathers trade, I'd assume.) We've pointed out the plastics are...
Nope. Almost certainly worse. Aluminum (aluminium) corodes very quickly in salt water, and the resultant compound is a powdery oxide with almost no...
Good point, Ray. If it's a true weld, the seams will be some stainless steel alloy. That should be fine. If, on the other hand, good old dad intends...
Safe for the inhabitants? Yes, it shouldn't be any problem at all. I would think the sealant is more likely to be a danger than the steel. I might...
I have some for sale on eBay right now. Click here to see the auction. Feel free to PM me if you want to ask any questions about them.
You've got me wondering.... I want to add a 'fuge to my system, but I really want it with sump in the basement. The only way for pods to make it to...
And please .... the last thing we need is a another sand bed argument! I used 4" because it looks nice. Good 'nuff.
This page is the best resource I've found for coral ID. Here's a picture of what I called a "green striped bubble". See how each bubble...
Well, the urchin glided away unscathed. I'm not sure about the BTA ... he did his standard shrinky-dink impression at some point during the encounter...
This morning I noticed my urchin had wondered directly into my rose BTA. Should I be concerned about it? Would it be advisable to move the urchin...
Oh, I've been "attacked" by damsels several times while diving. Luckily, they won't draw blood! It's really funny to have one swim right up...
Everything you said except "pH." The vinegar does, in fact, neutralize some of the pH effect of the kalk. But, by adding more kalk, the net...
In case none of you personally know any professional divers (doesn't everyone? :P) it's interesting to know that most are completely feerless around...
I think he may have just mis-typed. Vinegar will lower the PH of the solution. In so doing, you can add a greater amount of calcium by dissolving...
Thanks for the compliments! I need to give credit to my friend Kevin, who helped me with the aquascaping.
I just lurk 95% of the time, so many of you probably don't recognize me by name. A picture is worth scads of verbiage, though, so I finally posted...
It's best to keep your clownfish isolated for several weeks when you introduce a new anemone. The constant attention will further stress the poor...
