You have a good amount of LR now...you honestly didn't have enuff before unless you have supplemental biofiltraton in the system. As for how it...
Unless you're going to treat the fish, I'd use LR in the tank...sounds like you have plenty of seasoned LR. It's a lot more calming for the fish and...
You can use an open-ended airline if you don't have a PH. Just get a length of rigid airline tubing and put it where you need it in the tank....
For the longest time, I kept a good magnifying glass next to the tank, as mentioned, things will pop up constantly. If you started with dry rock...
Mags generally last forever, and are good pumps for the money (we've got some that we have no idea how old they are...like well over over a decade)....
Be careful handling the critter if you decide to remove it, as the "bristles" can poke you...if this happens soak the affected area in vinegar and...
That overflow looks fine...I'd go ahead and use it. As a part of your regular routine, take a peek at the U-tube and clear out any bubbles or algae...
It was closer to eight.
There's a guy in NY that almost always has Indian mudskippers, which are nice because they only grow to about 4", but he also gets the larger species...
The pic Coralline posted looks to be an abalone (note the gill openings in the shell). If that's your critter, it will have the same row of "holes"...
I'm with AZ...I pretty much always "overpump" our DT's by a bit, as one never knows really how much head, friction, etc. is in the system. Plus, if...
You could do a really cool mudskipper tank in a 75 gal. That kinda covers both land and sea (brackish).
What's your overflow's rating? What will you be keeping?
Just because it hasn't been mentioned, how are you getting the water to your sump? It seems like you might not be using an actual overflow to get...
Looks good. The float valve goes in the return/pump bay, as that's the level that will fluctuate due to evaporation.
You can say that again...;D [IMG] Just a little P. antennata eye candy.
We have the OTS version...the tank we'll use them for will be FOWLR for the most part, so we didn't need anything special. LOL...Renee is fast on...
Does the crack run under the overflow wall or just up to it? I'd be a little concerned in that case, as any part of the crack that isn't...
The bottom line with the ammonia and the test kits is whether or not your local water supply contains chloramine, which is common these days....
I think in the bottom of a tank, your repair idea should be fine. We've patched acrylic a few times this way (Weld-On in the crack plus a patch),...
