Well this is really just a venting thread. As some of you know, I have been recycling my 150G system since last year, after it's crash of 2005....
A mandarin needs to be in a system that is swarming with copepods. Amphipods are too large for them to eat. I would dose your system and refugium...
As stated in a few posts down, you have a big mix of tanks types. The trigger and lionfish are meant to be in a predator only tank, as they will eat...
I have two in my 20G H and it makes no whirlwinds at all.
For that much money for a dual stage, he should go and get a Aquacontroller Jr. It has room to control pH and lighting and all that stuff. Room for...
Yuck, if it's muddy water there is something wrong. You may have gotten a direct shipment from their supplier. I know that I bought an angler once...
I forgot to add, I also have a 260W CF Catalina lighting fixture. The moonlights died after one month of use, then the cooling fans a couple weeks...
I'm sure there are laws against siphoning out the water from the shoreline as well. I wouldn't want to with all the pollution anyway. But it's...
A K2 will definitely take up a lot of room, even a 1 is pretty big. A nano should be only used for 10G tanks, they don't supply much flow at all,...
I agree, just let it be and let nature take its course at this point. One lesson I have learned over the last 5 years of this hobby is "the less you...
The ones with red bases were healthy. White foot means a foot into the grave unfortunately. If you are using CF only, the amount of lighting an...
Hard to tell what type of anemone, but it looks extremely bleached. The base/foot should be a very rich color and the tentacles should have some...
Wouldn't the coral sting it or release it's defense toxins?
I can agree that dripping/adding water into the bag can be detrimental when dealing with fish that are shipped and have been sitting in the wame 5...
I put about 2" of LS in the tank, then fill up with water. Get at least the same amount of LR in the tank as the water volume and let it run. Get...
Ok, I'll give specifics. Get a good protein skimmer to start. Get either Aqua-C Remora, CPR Bak-Pak2, or Octopus hang on back. Then you want to...
I would get a refractometer and ditch the hydrometer. It could be off. Not that, that would cause cyano, but it's best in the long run for your...
Tap water has a certain concentration of chlorine and chlorimine that is extremely toxic to fish. Most salt mixes have ingredients to neutralize...
I was thinking the same thing. My first anemone dirtied the water on the drive home, it released a bit of it's toxins, maybe some of its...
I was gonna suggest Mag too. I had a Mag9 on my 150 before I accidentall broke it and to resort to using a Rio2500 until I get another Mag. I would...
