Tryin to recreate Tonga rock is very difficult, but if I were to do it I do it without the rock salt. I'd just do portland and sand in a mold like...
Not bad at all! You've just got to get creative with the shapes! Try this... Once they are a little more cured, pile more on. If you have a flat...
I second (or thrid or fouth that Epsoms are OK) Not the preferred method, but nobody really knows that SO4 is harmful or at what quantity that they...
Got some pictures?
Nope you're doing fine! If you keep up the every day water changes, you'll be diong better than I did... I got sick of it after a while...
So do you attribute the rock to the HA outbreak, or the causal nutrients?
I don't see any SPS... I say that because the prior post regarding Oyster Shells he referenced bound PO4 becoming free and affecting SPS. I don't...
Should be fine...
Yeah not a fan of the macaroni either... Lot of unnecessary nutrients if not all gone. And you can't test to check for it... As for the just oyster...
Naw. I was just able to zoom in a bit. And it may be a Naso... Hard to see the tail though.
Neat! It's hard from the picture as there are about 100 types of surgeonfish, but I'd say for sure it's not a Vlamingi, or Naso species. Probably...
OK, the pellets are shaped like HUGE time release Tylenol... And they're not too natural looking. Also make sure that they don't have the rust...
Heh... This happens to NY brain after a long night out... Actually, during the day your "brain" coral, which could be any of a number of...
You could break up the salt. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but it may prove difficult. I have seen rouck that used the pellets, and it didn't...
I don't use sand in my mix at all... If I were I wouldn't worry about the silicates though. Here's a pic of some rock in my old tank just after I...
2-3 parts solar salt (for water softeners) to 1 part dry portland cement. Use a little sand or other aggregate, and mix water in it until it's the...
I think that it's beter if you use a thinner piece, and if you either don't make it fit too tight, or you give it a slight bow so that it swells in...
You could use it, but why? You can get aragonite type play sand for real cheap, and for that matter you can even use silicate type sand. I've used...
I've posted this elsewhere on this forum quite some time ago, but I thought that it might be good to post again. It would have been GREAT to have...
But the same goes for a 30 gallon. I'd say that you're wasting money on a protein skimmer until you get above 40-50 gallons... Because then you're...
