It shouldn't, but it will eat pods. Care for them is similar to that of barnacle blennies.
It's some kind of macro algae, but it's too early to ID it.
Yeppers...altho what you can do is get some black ABS pipe with some T's and/or 45* angles (Y) and let the mantis use that. It will be dark enuff,...
We don't keep anything we DON'T like, so you might say all of our fish are faves, however, notables are: Rhinopias frondosa [IMG] Chorydactylus...
Just a word of warning...be careful with acrylic and magnet cleaners. If you get any substrate caught in it, your tank will scratch. We never use...
Droids will indeed wax and wane with your pod population or in the presence of lots of small live food (such as BBS). As mentioned, they aren't an...
We've run acrylic setups for years with no problems...what you have to do is get rid of the magnet cleaner OR only use them above the substrate line....
I lurk here more than I post, altho my wife (Incognito) is pretty active here at times...seems like a good site tho. I'm active on RC, but only in...
The fish in question absolutely requires a sandbed to bury itself in. As to the tankmates, the trigger and puffer will likely pick at it.
How straight/long is your drain hose run? Is this a new development, or was it slow from the start? Have you checked to be sure that there isn't a...
I have fond recollections of piston style aquarium pumps. I forget the mfr, but the single piston model was called "little ocsar" and the double was...
I'm not sure what you mean by "reef pods"...are they Tigriopus californicus ("tigger" pods)? If so, they won't reproduce at tropical temps (only...
I don't think a 3/4" O/F could keep up if you plan on having both pumps return the water to the DT. If you run the "Y", I think you'd be better off...
I've used "crystal bond" which is a very fine type of wet polishing "paper". You don't need to start any coarser than 1500 grit in most cases. What...
If the skimmer in question is an "in-sump" model, what you're experiencing is water depth variation. Many skimmers are sensitive to the depth of...
Renee (Incognito) and I have more fish from DD than anywhere, and we have LOTS of LFS as well as the wholesalers near us. Nobody is 100% perfect,...
Flagfins (genus Doryhamphus) do well in reef settings and your Euphyllia will be fine with them. If you're planning on multiple blue stripes, you...
So, by "cold reef", I'm guessing it's because you live in Norway where it's chilly and not that you're keeping a coldwater tank?
+1000...I'll do anything I can not to have ugly-a$$ PH's in my DT's. Good, designed-in, alternating main and CL flow are the best way to go IMHO....
Every day is different in terms of evap...you'd be setting and resetting the timer quite often, IMHO. BTW, I've tried using an aqualifter on more...
