Ohhhh you lied and broke your promise! No pics and it's been days! ;D All kidding aside, congrats! Looks like you will probably have to invest in...
Sorry man, that sucks. I lost a clam too. But the T5 lights are no where near strong enough for most clams. The only ones that might be able to...
3 months is too soon for heavy stocking in a tank, especially one that small. Corals should be added later on, 6-8months after cycling is done....
Even with cycled water, your tank is way too young to house any type of livestock at this stage. It is the rest of the tank that needs to have the...
Obviously the best way to keep temps in check is a chiller. Adding in a MH on my tanks meant having to buy 2 chillers. It is an added financial...
Why not use glass for the baffles? Acrylic will not adhere to glass well, as silicone does not bond to glass. The silicone will just hold it in...
That's right, even the most advanced aquarists find keeping anemones healthy extremely frustrating.
Like Matt said, drain the water out ASAP before you dump a load of water on your floor. Even draining it by 1/3 will lessen the stress on the tank...
I almost lost my current anemone by accidently dosing iodine, thinking it was my Purple Tech bottle. It shriveled up and spat out a good portion of...
You don't have to go with 1/10 of your tank size for a fuge, you can go as big as you want. I have a 10G fuge for my 20G tank, there is nothing that...
My first BTA completely disappeared without a trace. The last I saw before I left for work, it was about 2" diameter. When I got home, it wasn't on...
Mine lasted 6 months. It ate all the valonia and I had to feed it bits of krill. As AV8 said, they will eat anything they can get their claws on....
Clowns are known to nibble at the corals/anemones they are hosting. My 2 maroons have chewed off a good 80% of the tentacles on their anemone. It...
Be careful dosing iodine. A high amount of iodine will wipe out your tank in a hurry. If you use iodine, make sure you test it regularly.
I cut mine in half with a sharp knife. I only use half the cube to feed. I also rinse it under RO/DI water to get out the packaged frozen water. I...
An update to my use. After using DT's, my coralline algae has turned green and is starting to overtake my pink coralline. I'm not sure if it's...
That's really not enough light for any symbiotic coral to live in. I would say that a minimum of a 70W halide is needed for a small tank like...
Sorry for your loss. :(
Thanks, no biggie really. The other damsel is lonely in the tank now. He picked on him while he was there, now he just sits there like he is bored.
Looks exactly like the fungus I had/have in my 150G tank. Mine overtook my entire tank and crashed it. Keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't...
