Marshall is right...ATO's can be DIY'd pretty easily. One thing about the aqualifters, is they really do need the optional intake filter or they...
The only drawback to Chemi-Pure Elite is that it contains Ferric Oxide, which can irritate the gill structures of fishes with closed opercula (e.g.,...
You could always keep the rock wet. Put it in a "sealable" container and drop a small circulating pump into it, or drill a 3/16" hole in the lid and...
The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach is a good place to visit if you want to see a public aquarium. We've been members for years. As for LFS,...
Alex, My only comment is "What? No LIONFISH???!!!" Congrats on the new additions!
LOL! Maybe we should offer lionfish rentals just for those occasions...rent the size lionfish that will take care of your fish problem. *wink*
We generally like to run 1.023, but we're more about the fishes. That being said, I'd run it a bit on the "lower" side, like 1.023 if you have lots...
We've had peps that have "gone missing", literally for years, only to be found while tearing the tank down. By then, you have a HUGE, very pretty...
MH = warmer tank = more evaporation. You can run your lights less, run them when it's cooler (at night), etc. You could get a chiller that will...
As long as the mantis is on the smaller side, it's fine, but I'd put a full-grown peacock into something a bit larger as they get rather large....
Going out on a limb here...how about temp spikes? I know that when I used to keep a lot of clams, if the tank hit about 82*F, they got pretty...
Nothing you can see in the byssal area?
Nicely done! I like the "spaceousness" (is that even a word?) of it.
We had our acrylics guy make the slot when he added the external overflow to our 100 gal after we buffed it out. He used a router. I have since...
IME, they'll eat pretty much anything they can reach, except hair algae. They LOVE diatoms, I've even had them eat small patches of cyano. One...
I most heartily agree!
I've seen clams go way south and kind of deteriorate internally, but they usually act up before they get that far. Is your CUC already eating it?
Try to attend MACNA this year...anyone and everyone will be there. You'll meet LOTS of folks there.
What has changed? Temp spikes? New addition? Is there something on the clam like a film (it appears so) or is it simply not extending its mantle?...
If you run a DSB, I'd consider running a remote DSB in a 5 gal bucket. That way when it crashes (it likely will, eventually), you can change it out...
