I've seen huge balls of cheato, but even I was wondering how much macro I could sustain. Before the fuge I always had very low nitrates, and I've...
Sweet. I knew the pros and cons, I was just surprised to see it. Luckily I don't have SPS at this time. Maybe down the road when I get more stable...
So my fuge is 5 weeks. Put some grape caulerpa in about 3 weeks ago. Some is growing. A couple of pieces are not. Go to look in today and a branch is...
Good Lord Tangster. I hate it when the obvious slaps me up side the head. Thanks
So it isn't just me then???
Sorry guys, that's not what I meant. Fixed all the typos from the op. I mean, how do you tell how much flow you have going through your fuge. For...
I know what most say for flow rates, my problem is just how do I tell that. I have 15, in my fuge, and the water is trickling over my baffle. I don't...
Problem is that I don't know what 15gph looks like. Right now it is just trickling over the 18 inch baffle. And while we are at it, I'm a bit slow....
It is on reverse photo for 12 hours. So it sounds like 3-6 month before it is really established. The original owner put inlet boxes in. I decided...
I agree that is one of the advantages of chaeto, but I don't care for it for other reasons. What I have should fill in a bit more.
The LFS even told me I might have to feed a bit of meat. I just like how they turn my sand. I do need some Turbos though. I started feeding my fish...
Here is my fuge after a month. [IMG] [IMG] The calerpa is growing 9grape and sawblade(?)). A couple of pods running around. Not a lot. A lot of...
What is driving the flow through the primary drain is the head pressure on top of it. Head pressure at the out let will effect it. Since my drain...
I would not feel comfortable not using the secondary drain. Some do though. I had the same question about using it. Seems most have it for an...
You sump volume is small, so it just pumps it up tot the tank. I know you know that. Are you using a ball valve or gate. If you can't adjust...
Here is an article from Reef Keeping mag. What is Skimming? by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com Foam Formation and Draining Once a...
You pump vortexed and sucked in a bunch of air. Not good for a long time. Even still hard to see it happening. To just totally block. It's a good...
I just hooked up a Tunze ATO. Got a good deal. However, these controlers seem like the way to go especially if you want a ATO too. Just use float...
OMG! I wish some one would have told me. I posted a link to my stuff on Reef Central where I should have posted the original Herbie Thread. I fixed...
Just understand that ball valve do not flow linear. They flow more in the middle of their range. The valves are tight and you might turn them more...
