Really great looking tang VitalApparatuz. Congrats :)
Don't look to good, but you can send them my way and I'll try to nurse them back to health ;)
You will not find a significant population of nitrosomonas in the water. They are motile and can have a flagellum, but are primarily benthic and...
It's not crazy, although I don't agree in this case. Trace elements can feed algae, and for certain algae outbreaks, limiting water changes is...
No worries, it's great to learn about this stuff in more depth. I was just trying to work through the power consumption, water through put and air...
Here is everything you probably want to know about clowns and then some: Time to Quit Clownin' Around: The Subfamily Amphiprioninae by Henry C....
There is still a lot of unknowns and a lot of research occurring. Carbon and skimming are similar, but also have some important differences. They...
If what I said is correct, then the pressure differential results in more air flow. This is because the flow of water is restricted due to the...
Well, I followed you until the side note. I remember Bernoulli's principle and that water is not compressible, air is etc.. but I'm not sure I'm...
+2 the only time I notice negatives is when I don't run it ;). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well, powerman seems to have left the building, so I'll give it a go. The skimmer tube is a fixed height (T), but the pump does not need to support...
Ah, now that makes sense! Good thing you're are around tonight :)
When the pump is deeper in the water, it has more water above it and therefore there is more static pressure pushing down on it. It would seem the...
I'm no engineer either, but that was sort of what I was thinking. You have more water you need to pull the air through. I remember when we were...
All of the tests I've seen show less power consumption with lower water levels. For example, here: - REVIEW - SRO XP-2000 Cone Skimmer - Reef...
Cool, Maroon clowns naturally reside in BTAs, so it tends to be quick. Sometimes too much for a small BTA though, so keep an eye on things.
I was joking about hatting RBTAs BTW, I am actually quite fond of them. This is true though, you can sell the clones. The only issue is they can...
What kind of skimmer? Generally the pump works harder if there is more water. If you have a controller that displays power consumption, or...
LOL, that's why I hate BTAs. However if it makes you happy then congrats ;D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
First, the test kit reading of 0 doesn't mean anything as no hobby test kits are particularly accurate at such low levels. Cheato may be effective,...
