Good lord, I cringed when I added up the cost on my tanks. I'm considering selling off my 65G acrylic since it's just sitting there unstocked with...
My 2 LFS always ask "you have a setup saltwater tank that is established" before even entertaining the thought of selling saltwater fish to a...
Those look like diatoms to me. That's normal part of the cycle. Your nitrates should be zero-ing out now, which is why the diatoms are dieing off...
Marc Weiss, there are some others as well, though I can't recall those off the top of my head, sorry. I just saw a bottle of live copepods in my LFS...
Your avatar cracks me up everytime I see it, haha sorry just had to compliment you on it. :laugh3:
I know paint fumes and paint overspray will wipe out a tank a tank in a hurry and cause all kinds of problems. Stupid contractors... :furious3:...
I would also like to suggest those 18G rubbermade tubs. I used styrofoam cooler boxes once and one of my rocks punctured a hole in it. :( If using...
When my maroon kept being a pain and chasing all the damsels, I moved the rocks around and she has settled down. I am planning on breeding her too,...
Very nice! They get pretty big but boy are they pretty. Congrats! :)
I found it here: Oceanpro Aquatics, Inc. Since it's above your waterline, it's not so critical, but I would do it sometime though. If it were me, I...
Give just a little pinch of food, 2-3 times a week. They should eat all the food within 1 minute. Anything more will cause nitrate problems and...
Completely normal. Ambient air temperature can also it somewhat too. It usually takes anywhere from 20 hours up to 200 hours to break in fully....
Your tank didn't like that it was 76? My fish and anemone seem to thrive at 76ish. If it gets to 78, the anemone deflates down to a nub, if it gets...
They actually hatch after being in the tank. They are encapsulated eggs if I understand right, kind of like artemia. I think they are artemia and...
You should be ok, but you could use another piece and Weld-On #4 on the other side, just to be safe. I personally like to err on the side of...
Welcome! And wow, new to reefing; you are definitely jumping right in with both feet. It is definitely fun. :)
I read about that product. It's still an epoxy and can crack over time. The Weld-ON will actually bond and melt the two pieces together and become...
I have a MD7 for my AquaC-180 and a Rio 3500 for a return and they both work well. I also have a Rio2100 that I used as a secondary return too. I...
Yup, I have one too, the Tom suface skimmer. I have removed the Fluval from my 20G as it keeps pumping nitrates out, even with weekly cleanings. My...
I was just kidding. I would try to trap it. My 3 stripe attacks anything that enters the tank, usually my hand or my proscraper stick. When it's...
