Yup, I use it too. When it gets really lumpy though, its time to throw it out. Are there any other fish in the tank that show signs of illness?...
Randy is a strong guy himself too. He dropped Tim Silvia with one hit, something that even Fedor didn't do. Brock only knows one speed and one...
I can only speak for JBJ chillers, since I only own those. They are pretty quiet and are as loud as a small good quality fridge. I bought mine off...
My LFS has a ton of Haitian anemones that look like that. What do you see is wrong with it? I'm asking since I thought about getting one for my gf,...
My Mg is at 1350 and my dKH is about 14. My rocks are purple under the algae, my snails are doing a good job. :)
For 16G, you would be ok with T5s. I have a little 70W HQI on my 20G, and FWIW, it really doesn't heat my tank any bit more than my CF sitting 4"...
Lionfish will need about 75G+ as they mature, they get pretty big. Sea horses don't have strong lighting needs and a 29G will be a good size for...
I have a 250W MH (with 130W CF for actinics) on my 150G. It's a predatory tank only, no corals. You are better off with the 250W's, your corals...
yeah it can, in a negative way. The glass can lessen the intensity of the light entering the tank when salt creep and calcium deposits crust on the...
Not fully true, they need moderate to strong lighting. They symbiotic with zooxanthellae like many other coral. PC lights do not penetrate well in...
Adding to what Mazilla said, get it higher up in the tank. 130W PC lights aren't as intense as T5 and MH of the same wattage, so to get the same...
Those are tunicates. I have a bunch of them in my tank too. They help absorb the nitrates and phosphates, they are good to have.
I tried Algaefix on the stuff in my tank and it did nothing to it. It got rid of the brown diatoms though. The turbos are eating the GHA like it's...
I guess I should test my Mg level. I have had a test kit sitting there for a year, completely untouched. *shame on me* I know my Ca is about...
Glass-holes.com sells overflows for back-drilled tanks. You can also use those JBJ surface skimmers as an overflow, though it may not provide enough...
The oily stuff is dissolved protein/waste in the water. That is the stuff that turns into brown froth in a skimmer. Add a surface skimmer (as...
I was told by a LFS that my 65W CF lighting would be good enough for a rose anemone. It lasted about a year before it shriveled up to the size of a...
Let it run for another month before adding a fish. :) Once the brown diatoms die off (they are why the nitrates are 0 right now), the nitrates...
I use eggcrate and knock out little sections in it to allow more light to enter the tank.
A QT tank should be bare bottom and no rock. That way no parasites can live in the rock and sand, it's more controlled environment. A hospital tank...
