In the time since I first started this post this morning, I have collected yet another 55g, lights, heater, 80+ lbs of LR, a stand, skimmer, and a...
That is amazing. I would not have considered "company" to be a threat to my reef tank! That's it, no one is ever coming over again!:P
Is anyone else like a magnet for spare aquarium equipment like me? I have a garage full of stuff, even though I have sold some, and I am currently...
Existentialism :stars:!
It is very sad and very profound. I think about it this way: I am sure we have all witnessed a flagrantly mistreated coral survive and rejuvenate....
So I removed my last post on this thread because I had misspoken. This is what I was trying to say: Keeping optimal magnesium levels (~1300 mg/L)...
I don't think there is a lifespan. Since most reproduce by cloning themselves, to some degree, they can pretty much live forever. As long as...
Forams are protists--neither plant nor animal. They have their own taxonomic kingdom.
pH, technically speaking, is the negative log of the proton (H+) concentration in a fluid. There are three chemical definitions of the word "acid,"...
Yeah, soon you will have many. They reproduce very quickly and sometimes you end up with black ones too. The black ones are pretty cool looking....
Stomatella snail
Basically true, however hyposalinity (lower salt conc.) interferes with the reproductive process of the parasite. The adults can survive but...
6500 is indeed a grow bulb, but more for plants than corals. Corals thrive under lighting of 10000K to 20000K, depending on the species. Shallow...
When you need bigger quantities, you can go aragocrete--DIY base rock. If you seed the tank with a piece of LR with heavy corralina growth and set...
That stuff is feather caulerpa. It is attractive but grows very fast. It is also an algae, not a plant. There are a few true plants that grow as...
You can use "Red Hot Blue Glue" to glue two pvc ends together if you can take the fitting out of the water for an hour or so. Once that stuff is dry...
Anaerobic areas are also supposed to exist deep within the LR. That is what I have read several times, at least. :-/
Interesting! I am starting to think that Bubble Tip is a bit of a misnomer.
Marine ich is different than freshwater ich. The marine version could potentially lay dormant for much longer than the FW version. As for...
It might be a better idea to treat ich in a separate quarantine tank and try hyposalinity first before copper. I would never feel comfortable...
Separate names with a comma.
