LOL @ Coralline. Great minds think alike!
Sounds like a good feeding schedule, especially without the oyster feast. If you feed too much of that, it can definitely add some excess nutrients...
Water changes will help with the excess nutrients, but if you don't figure out where the excess is coming from, it will keep coming back. Not sure...
How much are you feeding your fish? It's been my experience with cyano, that overfeeding usually contributes to higher phosphates and also cyano. And...
Congratulations! Looking forward to the build!
Matt - I have had 2 diamond gobies and the dragon goby and the diamond was by far better at keeping the sand clean. Not discounting the one that...
I have an aurora goby and tiger pistol. They initally paired up within minutes of going into the tank. When I moved the tank, it took overnight for...
I have quite a few friends that have t5's with SPS and have great growth and coloring. But they have very large light fixtures.
IMO, although fish are more forgiving of less than perfect water parameters, the type of fish kept in FOWLR's tend to be messier eaters. Also, I...
I have added more than 10 frags to my 150 at a time. All from local frag swaps and they were a mix of SPS and LPS. My system was probably around...
A 14g is a whole lot easier to break down and move than a 150g ;D Besides then you would be able to take care of it and can still concentrate on...
could be an amonia spike if you had some deaths. The amonia would affect the fish and not the coral so much. I am sorry to hear this.....any way...
Guess you have acheived the perfect balance......GOOD JOB!!!!! I am still waiting for that day to happen.
Depends on what you want to keep. I had 175's on my 150. Dimensions are 48"x24"x31" and 175's were adequate. Had good/slow growth with all my...
The TDS at .14 would definitely contribute to the GHA and the algae would be consuming your nitrates and phosphates giving you false readings. Also,...
Good to hear that you are jumping back in the pool!! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
I am in the process of setting up a FOWLR also and have decided to go with LED's for lighting. Don't need to maintain any corals, I just like the...
+1. What beautiful advice!!!! I am very sorry for your loss.
I have a small CUC in my fuge (I talked to John at reefcleaners for advice) as I noticed the same buildup. Since the addition, I do not see near as...
My tunze's shut down to 50% once the lights go out. Fish are all in the rocks and sand by that time. But by having the lower flow, my corals are...
