Wow I hadn't even heard of solatubes. That looks like a really promising technology. I wonder if there will be geographic limitations on where they...
You can see nerite snails above the water line all the time in tide pools. I bet they could survive several hours out of water.
When you add an overflow to a tank, reduce photoperiod and/or add shade for your corals to allow them to acclimate to higher light levels. The...
I think it will be even less noticeable with the depth of your 65 gallon (6 inches deeper than my 50 gallon).
The center brace doesn't leave a noticeable shadow. I think if there are LED lights with 40-60 degree lenses on either side of the brace, it would...
I would make a hofer gurgle buster for the overflow box. I use one and it is much quieter than the manufacturer recommendations. Link to make it:...
I'm in the process of setting up a small chaeto-only refugium :) hopefully this will cut down on the cost of buying more RowaPhos every couple of...
I used Boston Aqua Farms reef glue. I assumed it was just coralline colored super glue. You are supposed to apply it out of water, wait until it...
I did this with a very small mushroom the other day that had detached itself from the live rock. I tried to glue it onto a frag plug, but about a...
I'm sure he'll be OK in the refuge. He may even help keep the refuge clean. I have the same problem right now. I've known I've had a crab for a few...
Makes me wonder if I should have spent $300 on a Vortech! Nice review. Thanks!
I use an API test for phosphate and can tell if it's under 0.25, but that is about how accurate they can get.
This happens to my koralia's sometimes. It usually works after I unplug it/re plug it several times.
I have Reef Fish Hawaii on my iPhone. It's the app version of the book "Hawaiian Reef Fishes". It's a pretty good source of information.
These guys are my favorite thing in my tank right now. They look really nice when only the actinics are on at the end of the day. I keep mine at...
We would need to know the height difference between your pump and tank. Usually that is ~4 ft. If you use a Mag Drive 7, that would give about 480...
I'd start it up. If the live rock isn't fully cured, the skimmer will take a ton of waste from the water. It would also help prevent an algae...
Skimmer chamber is about 11"x12", pump chamber is 5"x12", and the last chamber (nothing in it right now other than a powerhead) is 5"x12". I'm...
Unfortunately my potters angel did not make it. That was pretty heart breaking :( I won't try another potters angel on this tank. The solar wrasse...
I've owned a few watchman goby's and all of them have started eating within a day of being introduced to the tank. I also see them every day......
