Or Greg...I suppose in some circles, we're interchangeable...some peeps call us "Grenee"...LOL Thanks for the kind words tho...
When you think your tank is cycled, it's best to challenge the system to be sure. In this case, I would add 0.25 ml of ammonia and allow it to...
Yep...even in a SSB, there are compounds in the anoxic layers of the substrate that you do NOT want in your water column, such as hydrogen sulfide....
We haven't "reefed" in a few years, for sure! ;)
More like "perfect snack"...;) Ghouls aren't very big...4"-5" is about tops.
Since this is mostly a reef site... [IMG] [IMG]
It's a diatom bloom...usually lasts a week or two. Leave it alone, and it will go away on its own, as the more you mess with it, the longer it will...
You really don't want your LR sitting on top of the sand anyhow, for that reason...You don't want "sifters" to be able to dig beneath it, thus making...
Agreed...I remember once when I was looking for some "raw" LR, I was actually sniffing it in the LFS, kinda like picking out fruit! ;D I love to see...
Because even good quality skimmers can release microbubbles, which can be sucked into the return pump, shredded further, and then are pumped into the...
I can't say I have much use for them in general, altho I used to run one. Where they HAVE been making a difference is in fry setups, as they keep...
Since you're using the stock return fitting, you can drill a 3/16" hole in the top of the flare fitting and put a short piece of rigid airline tubing...
They look like Pseudocorynactis sp. (AKA strawberry 'nems). I've never had more than a couple at a time, maybe 4 at most, as they're NPS and require...
Frank from Frank's Aquarium usually has some interesting oddball stuff: Frank's Aquarium
Unless the antennae are "forked", and fairly short, your critter likely isn't a mantis. In fact, you'd likely see a pair of eyes peeking out of the...
Welcome to 3R! Renee and I do something similar in our care/how to articles...they are a compilation of bona fide scientific facts combined with...
You can look into species that are less likely to pick at corals...for example, Genicanthus sp. angels are planktivorous, and generally do very...
Poor quality or poorly-kept feeders. I only get my ghosties at one LFS because they get theirs from a different source than the other nearby LFSs...
In a small sump for a corner setup, I actually placed larger LR rubble pieces in the skimmer compartment around the skimmer.
Reefer Bob, The Sorbothane is probably best ordered from sorbothane.com as I haven't found anywhere that sells it. It's not real cheap, but it...
