Honestly OlopezNYC, if I were you, I would just get a move on with the black out. It is not going to do much harm (if any) to the corals and...
I have read a few times that freshwater tips will kill algae. For example, say you are removing GHA with tweezers. They say everytime you grab some...
Lol I was joking, you don't have to bring be anything! But October 6th really is my birthday ;D
These things should help. Other things that will help are a good skimmer, adding a refugium with LR and macroalgae like chaeto, and adding a GFO or...
I think the bulbs that come with most T5 fixtures are crap. Do you plan on getting SPS? My favorite are the ATI bulbs, look at different color...
In the original pictures posted, this looked like a clear case of diatoms. I have diatom blooms a few times now (tank cycles, adding new sand, etc.),...
Lol no. I'll assume your tank is okay. Toxic materials build up in there. For example, the nitrogen cycle takes place down there. Ammonia gets in...
Lol I'm not sure that the concern was harming the environment by tossing old saltwater.. If anything, the chaeto that I throw in the grass would love...
You stirred your sandbed?? How deep is it? For future reference, stirring your sandbed is not a good idea. VERY dangerous move... One wrong move and...
Its actually not that dumb of a law if you think about it. The point isn't to charge you money, its to allow water to soak into the ground. PA has a...
I would try corallines approach first, because its the easiest and worked for her. I would assume that you will know fairly quickly whether it worked...
Lol I overcomplicate everything too (for example: the simple task of replacing my RO/DI filters turns into rebuilding the RO/DI unit because its...
I have a fuge. I do not have a canister filter (nor do I know what it even is lol). I do not have a filter sock. My ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels...
Hey thats not what I wanted to hear!! Lol. Well I suppose I will just hope for the best then. Now that I know what they look like, I suppose I will...
I have the same issue with one of my evo's. Just emailed them yesterday. Still awaiting a response.
Yes this is absolutely what you should do. There is a saying for this: Go slow, let it grow ;) Welcome to 3reef and welcome to saltwater! Your...
+1. I would imagine you would exhaust your RO/DI filters very quickly if you filtered salt water. Your suggestion was to take the water out of...
I've never seen a damsel nip at corals. I had two in my last tank, and I currently have one in my frag tank. Damsels are bad news. Lol I would get...
Yeah your pH will likely decline with the lights out. I skimmed that article you linked and from what it said, I would think you would want to keep...
