Have you doublechecked your parameters with another set of test kits? Are your test kits old? I don't see ammonia on your list of tests, if you...
I've been considering the best way of doing maintenance reminders as well, it's mostly the stuff that should be done every 6mo/year that I find tough...
Sounds like a good beginning of a list. I think you will probably find you'll need to be flexible on some things and potentially change the schedules...
+1 on frags and growing in. Not only do you get to watch them grow in but you have something that has grown up accustomed to your setup and...
For the money, have you considered vortechs or tunzes? I know the Koralias are probably slightly cheaper but for a little more money you can get top...
This might not be an issue but just to mention it. If you can, make sure the frozen brine is enriched somehow. Adult brine shrimp themselves are not...
Yeah I thought that might be the case. I would go with the second option then and use the MP40 dialed back with a koralia still on the other side....
Vortechs are awesome, I love mine, I have 2 MP40s and an MP10. I really would probably go with 2 MP10's. Having flow from both sides of the tank...
I don't think I would worry about it. It may take them some time to get used to chasing food but it's probably a bit more natural for them to chase...
The whole method is outlined in this article, hope it helps. What Your Grandmother Never Told You About Lime by Randy Holmes-Farley -...
It's designed for marine situations, I would also assume the cycle killed the fish. I got some with my bluezooaquatics order (apparently it's part of...
I would look at PVC bulkheads or uniseals (which are similar to rubber grommets made for this purpose). Plumbing ,Drill Bits , Overflows , Uniseals...
The Flo has a maximum flow of I think only 300-400gph so if you put it on a larger powerhead you will not get the full flow amount of it as I...
Yeah, 2 part is definitely a good way to get started. It's definitely a good way to get into understanding the chemistry. Thanks, I try to keep up...
Yeah that's a big decision to make. There are definitely pros and cons to each method. I decided on a calcium reactor for my system for a few reasons...
Believe me I know how hard it is to wait. I really forced myself to try and go slow on my first tank and I feel like I still went too fast in...
Not that I'm aware of, although if it was a really large colony it could add to a nutrient spike as it breaks down.
I personally would wait at least a week or two to move it again. There's no huge rush and it will make the transitions easier on the anemone, it's...
More Yasha updates. They're coming out a little bit more as of today, they are quite a bit more active toward the end of the tank's daylight cycle....
First of all do you use Prime or another chemical water conditioner? They bind up with all of the bad stuff and not necessarily remove it, and I've...
