He's building it up now...I'll let you know. He just did the water test, and it's working OK, including the chiller. He still needs to clean it up...
I'm guessing you mean blue-green Chromis. Five Pseudochromis would beat the snot out of each other in short order. A 100 gal may not be large enuff...
One of our friends is setting up a 50 gal lobster tank he got used and will be using it as a temperate or CW tank. It uses air-driven circulation...
Very great source!
Lovin' that blue-spot!
Cool stuff! The gooseneck is a gooseneck barnacle.
I'd consider a top (screen, eggcrate, etc.), as many folks are finding out that ANY fish can jump...we've had lionfish, and even bottom-dwelling...
A 1/13 hp would be fine unless you're trying to pull the tank down very far below room ambient. However, a larger chiller (a 1/10 hp, for instance)...
It should be small enuff, however, using "used" water won't do anything at all in terms of your cycle, and guess what? You do run the risk of adding...
I bet those pumps aren't "diver-friendly" tho...not like a pod going thru our small pumps. Just be careful down there.
I believe the screws on Mags are already stainless, but there's stainless and there's stainless. We have several old mags with rusty screws, as...
Yeppers...that's an Aeoilid nudi...they come in on zooanthids a lot (you said you didn't have anything pricy). What you'll need to do is keep an eye...
All I have to do is find a 1/2 hp or 1 hp chiller for $336...::)
Smart move getting the chiller, for sure. We have several of the Current 1/15 hp and 1/10 hp, and they've been really great chillers for many years,...
10k is actually a better color temp for zooxanthellate critters, as it has more "usable" light for photosynthesis. As one moves to the bluer color...
Sounds like colonial 'droids...do they look like this? [IMG]
Go ahead and do a water change. You'll want to match temp and pH of your NSW to your DT. I'd also recommend aerating the water overnight before you...
With the exception of zots (H. zosterae/dwarf SH), which can live about 1.5 to 2.5 years. Large species SH tend to live 3 - 5 years in general, but...
Once I find something I like, and that works, I try not to touch anything to be honest. I spend a lot of time "getting it right" the first time...
Did your nitrates rise after you pulled the algae?
