Let your tank finish its cycle...honestly, critters WILL show up. That being said, once your tank has cycled, if you want to boost pod production,...
I agree with evolved...might be endoparasites. How often and how much are you feeding the fish? Many browsing species such as BFs require smaller,...
I don't see anything to be alarmed about...the white specs look like copepods to me. The "worms" appear to possibly be Dorvilleids, but hard to tell...
Only your fishes...use the amount/color of light that makes you happy, but try to keep in mind what type of lighting the fishes are used to. For...
FWIW, we once moved 14 tanks, all with substrate, and lost nothing. As Coralline mentioned, it's all about how much the substrate was disturbed....
Matt, Are we (sponsors) allowed to play?
Same here...I actually have TWO 360's (an "elite" and a "slim")...oh and one that has RROD. The Kinect seems attractive to Renee, so as she...
Altho it appears to be a moot point, and I didn't see the photo of the fish, I dunno if the specimen was a juvie or not, as they do change color as...
Reefmonkey, That's an AWFUL lot of different macro and plant species, and typically, that many species in such close proximity tends to fail, as...
You might try thawing the mysis in SW (that way they won't float away) and let them sink to the bottom of the tank thru a tube in front of the fish's...
I don't understand what's hanging on the left side of the sump (the gray things)...please explain. As for your return pump, match the flow to your...
What you can do is take some LR rubble and make "pod piles" in your tank...the fish can't get at the pods easily and the pods have some shelter.
I thought that was the idea...free fish food. Pods love filter sox...food, shelter, safety. OFK, there really isn't a better food for many fishes.
Are you using a low-noise standpipe such as a Durso or Stockman modification? If not, that's a good place to begin. If you are using a Durso, it's...
I was going to mention the same thing...waveboxes have been responsible for popping panels out of tanks from the repeated stress (this is especially...
I don't think it really matters...IME, some chillers are marked, and some are not. As long as the water enters and exits the heat exchanger coils,...
Agreed...UV's only work on WATERBORNE organisms, and most of the problem pathogens are benthic/demersal, and as such aren't found in the water...
Personally, I think most peeps will use their own photos or altered version of them...I know we have more pix than you can even go through easily in...
Not necessarily in response to your post, but letting the OP know that the box if fine if he wants to use it. IMHO, there's no real difference...if...
ARGH...let's try again... HOW A SUMP WORKS...REALLY THIS TIME!
