Do yourself a favor and use Salifert tests. They are user friendly, and known for their accuracy. As for grocery store clams, I think they come...
You are building quite the collection of fish. Your tank is going to be absolutely amazing. I don't know your feelings on blonde naso tangs, but I...
Well the cardiologist who sent me to the cardiac surgeon said that at my age he expected one of 4 scenarios: 1. They'd look around, find nothing,...
Thanks all. I'm 43, psiclone. Schackmel, they don't put you "under" because in this type of procedure, sometimes your cooperation is required. You...
I had my first bout of heart palpitations about 2 months ago. It coincided with being laid off and going from much daily physical exertion to nearly...
Well it seems as if I'm going to have to get a chiller. I have a 90G tank, a sump with about 8G, run 2 x 250W halides and 2-96W PC actinics. My...
Gotcha. I was asking how you fixed the damage you sustained from the melting. Keep a close eye on it and make sure it doesn't deteriorate further...
Welcome, Adam! :)
Jamie, how did you fix that, and how many gallons is your tank?
You can really see a difference in growth of all the monti cap's on your overflow b/w the 150W and 250W pics. They've grown fuller, more bowl...
And all this time I was under the impression that you were not going to have a center support stanchion. I don't blame you for putting one there....
So what's the estimate of the total cost of the tank alone with materials and construction?
Wow. How much does that empty beast weigh?
Another thing not mentioned yet in this thread, is that when you trim your macroalgae back (chaeto, caulerpa, or other), you're removing the...
Here's an older response, below it says about the same thing. 1. Use only RO/DI water. A lot of other water sources contain phosphates and...
Real nice, Patrick!! Love the frogspawn and the hammer. Did you glue those monti caps to the overflow?
Test with a TDS meter as stated above. If it reads zero, rest assured the water is free of copper, phosphates, and everything else. Zero TDS RO/DI...
Almost everything you say is right, except, bacteria lives on surfaces, not in water. Sure, when you move rocks around, or vacuum gravel, or remove...
Tritonsgardens is right on. That's an excellent suggestion. I might just do it myself. That would solve 3 problems all at once. First, as...
OK. So chances are you did build up a biological filter within that LR while it was in the separate container. I'd probably want a few more...
