Thanks all. I don't believe I will need to run a chiller. The tank was freshwater for 2 years and ran at 74. Here's my plan in a nutshell. 36 gal....
How new? Seahorses are on a different level. I am setting up my horse tank tomorrow after a year of keeping a reef and researching the entire way. I...
seahorses appreciate some water movement in their environment and I meant to say mechanical filter but I said power by mistake.
Mandrakes? Mangroves? As for nitrate and phosphate there will be live macros and water changes.
Tomorrow I begin my Seahorse project by emptying out my 36 gallon freshwater and probably buying 20 pounds of base rock, a power filter, and various...
An anemone could theoretically but I'd be surprised. Any bigger more aggressive fish, crabs, any other things that could try to attack.
Pick up some mysids too, much healthier and maybe cyclop-eeze, and small krill. Brine has pretty much no nutritional value, a little bit if gut...
They will move sand around so adding some wear they're burrowing won't do a whole lot. 2 inches might be enough but you might want to go closer to 3.
I've never dipped and I've had no trouble, but thats not to say that I won't and shouldn't dip. Whenever someone is going into Zoas I feel obligated...
Anyway, it sounds like mixed reefs are doable if you are careful.? Keep in mind that the guy who gave me the no mixed reef advice is the very same...
Reefs 'R' Us
3 1/2 years is impressive for any fish, let alone one as challenging as a scooter. IMHO I think that with scooters and mandarins it depends on how...
Jwin-The potential risk of a mixed reef, or so I've been told-Is that Leather Corals secrete toxins to dominate their environment. These toxins are...
It doesn't look too bad. The best thing you can do for coral is make sure you have pristine water quality, stable temperature, ample light, etc.
Make sure the water level in sump is low enough and the overflow is high enough that if the power goes out the water will drain down into the sump...
You might think about picking your own frags and corals so you get exactly what YOU want. Not that there's anything wrong with the packages, just...
The pictures very unclear but maybe an emerald or it could well be an unknown hitchhiker that is not usually collected for tanks.
Anyone else have mixed reef experience?
I'm thinking if I keep the leathers to a minimum and as far away as possible from the acros maybe I can keep some basic ones.
Your pushing it with a powder brown in a few ways. Bioload wise, tangs take up a lot of oxygen and produce a lot of waste. A general rule is that...
