Hard to see, but if it is decided this is Aiptasia, Turbo Snails will get rid of them. At least they did in my tank.
Would making a fuge from a power filter and adding chaeto make enough of a difference in a 55g tank to make it worth the time to build it? Especially...
Read my thread about my experience adding formerly live rock to my 3 week old tank. I had 2 fish in it, and they died after my rock addition started...
Really? I'm very illiterate with fuges (and skimmers, sumps, etc.) so will have to look into that further. Thanks...
I had a similar idea some time ago as well, but was told it was a bad idea. I have an Aqua Clear 300 power filter that I do not have cartridges for....
Looking good. Keep it up.
Appreciate all the responses. I'll place the rock in my basement in a large bin I have with a powerhead circulating the water. Should I rinse it...
I was told RO/DI water is close to distilled water, is that correct. I have no way to get RO/DI at this time. Also still wondering about adding...
Would I need to add a powerhead or filter to have some water flow? I have an empty 55, 30, 20, and a few 10s laying around. I thought of putting the...
Over the weekend, I bought 145 lbs. of formerly live Fiji rock from someone. They thought it was 60-80 lbs., but it was much more when I weighed it...
Well the drama is over after losing 2 fish today after I added 100# of formerly live rock, thus causing my cycle to start over again. The Turbo Snail...
Keep him... I'm sure I'll get plenty of hitchhikers of my own down the road!!! ;D
That little guy is really cool looking though. Where did you get it, or did it hitchhike it's way into your tank? Wish you were closer to me in PA....
I'm not sure of the amount, but I believe you would want to sprinkle the old sand around the tank to "spread out" the beneficial bacteria.
To be honest I never really went into this with a plan on livestock I wanted in my tank. I have been giving it more thought lately, and will go into...
It was actually FORMERLY live rock that was bought from someone else. It was dried out and in a large bin. There was even dried up coral glued to...
Thanks guys. This has definitely been the best (or worst) lesson so far. BTW the Turbo Snail is still hanging on (no pun intended) in the bin of...
I now understand the problems associated with adding large amounts of rock to a tank at once. Thanks for the tip. Understood 100%. I only...
Appreciate the support... and the compliment. This was my first attempt at designing a SW aquascape.
This was formerly live rock which I washed off 2x before I added it to the tank. I thought there would be another cycle start, just didn't realize it...
