I've been told that it is best not to introduce other organisms into your pod farm other than the pods themselves. If you dip the loufa into your DT...
Good luck! Keep us posted with lots of pics.
I have a pod farm too. I don't recommend any substrate because it will just make siphoning up detritus more difficult. I'd go bare bottom, with...
either one will polish off your pods for you. The question is what will you do once that happens. If you want to have to keep replenishing your...
I would see the point of putting half in the DT if you had a mandarin already and wanted to make sure he had something to eat right away. You would...
Forgot about that - thanks for pointing it out. You don't want to lose more fish. Try the QT.
This is an issue that comes up repeatedly on this forum, so you can get lots of info on it by using the Search function at the top of the page....
Thanks for the informative post, Rayjay. Please keep us updated with any further info.
In terms of acclimating pods, you don't need to drip them. Float the bag to equalize the temperature, and then just use a cup to add tank water...
The issue with a nano (and even more so a pico) is that the water parameters are difficult to keep stable. For example if a little bit of ammonia or...
I would not bother with the UV sterilizer, but in order to properly answer your question we need more details about your tank. The most important...
I told myself I don't need another clam.....but if I saw those for sale I would make an exception. I LOVE the first one!
Yeah, I originally did the same thing as you, but then was told to use calibration solution (the solution I bought was at SG 1.0265). When I did...
Sounds like a good reason to me! Please post pics once it is up and running.
Should be fine, but honestly I'm not sure why you chose the LED route for a fuge. Personally I use a clip-on reading light from walmart with a 40W...
Well, done is done. Right now you have only 2 basic choices: 1) Treat the ich with nutrition (reef safe medications generally are ineffective), and...
There seems to be a lot of confusion and contradictions in the practice of Qt'ing fish to prevent ich. The truth is that if you are only...
Guys, thank you for all the very helpful comments. Just to clarify, though, my QT had lots of previously-established biological filtration. First...
Hmmm, some good ideas above. I don't think the QT was contaminated. The paraguard was not expired. The fish might have been sick from the...
Well, another saltwater tragedy in my house (too many of these lately). A week ago I purchased a small flame angel and royal gramma, and after a 30...
