Have you been testing for Amonia, Nitrite and nitrate? It's done cycling when you have no more Amonia or Nitrite. Nitrate will then start to rise....
Sounds like he's on the way out. Be sure to get him out quick if he does die. He'll polute the system pretty bad if he starts to decompose...
Raven, not all wrasse are shrimp eaters. The fairy wrasses (Cirrhilabrus) are great reef fish. Very beautiful and peaceful, though pricey. They do...
Of course any macro can be easily eliminated from the main display by adding a tang or two!! They're little algae eating machines... :lol:
Don't mix a gramma with a dottyback. They'll fight. If you intend to stay fish-only, I'd get a butterfly. Lots of nice ones to choose from.
Don't use the same circuit breaker for your tank and furnace! (Especially since the furnace can and will turn on when you're not at home; popping...
Blue does penetrate better to some extent, but our tanks aren't deep enough to make mich differance ... it takes 15-30ft of water to filter out all...
Do you know if it is a "MegaFlow" or "Twin Flow" model? Go to this page and select either MegaFlow or Twin Flow at the left. They show diagrams and...
For a FOWLR setup, I think you have plenty of flow. I would redirect something to make sure the surface is turbulant, though. That will help with...
I don't have experience with them, but I've heard a lot about Tampa Bay Saltwater, which is very similar. Here are some things to think about: 1)...
Mine's clear, but I haven't been able to see the wall for a long time ... totally coraline encrusted.
Lots of light for a fish only tank! No skimmer? I would seriously consider adding a good skimmer. That will do a lot for reducing excess...
Great job! It looks very professional. Karma for you!
Sounds more like a spawning event. I've never seen a feather duster doing that, though.
That is strange. Frogspawn and Xenia are usually the guys that take a nosedive if water conditions are less than ideal. Have you looked closely...
Well the tank and stand alone were over $2k ... you need to add a catagory for "Slightly less than my car"!! :o
81-82 is not that hot. The water on tropical reefs can reach the mid 80's during the summer with no problem. Depending on local conditions, the...
Interesting. I would have never thought to even try!
Another tidbit to help with your decision: The Enaly has no easy way to connect a drier. You would need to engineer your own solution.
Can't imagine why it would be illegal. I don't know if it's a good idea to put something like that in a tank, though. Seems like it would start to...
