The check valves are not a good choice in saltwater. They get clogged in a very short time with salt and calcium and will fail to work when you need...
Tonight my girlfriend decided she wants her own tank. So we are in the early stages of planning out a 20 gallon long nano build. Will most likely be...
When I did mine, I just did it in a 5 gallon bucket. Nothing but water, an airstone, heater, and some kitchen sponges (the netted kind). I fed them...
Frozen foods help, but it will still not be enough. Mandarins need to feed pretty much all of their waking hours, and that can not be accomplished...
Opposite would be best, as it helps stabilize the PH.
Sounds like you have a very good set-up! Not much I could add to it! For your algae problem, you will have to lower the available nutrients...
I am 100% positive, specially since I specifically see nerites in the same pic ;) They lay eggs on the rocks like mad. I also get quite a few on the...
Impossible without a DNA sample ;) The names given in the trade are simply pet names by retailers and are not correct. Call them whatever you want...
I do, but I am on MH ;) I would look into sundials or nova extremes. Those are probably the better units on the cheaper end of things.
Yeah just make everything up before you go. I don't like the autofeeders because they can be unreliable. I would just put the individual feedings in...
+1. No need for a pump. Just glue a fitting into it and run a 1/2" line into an empty pop or milk jug. Gravity itself is plenty enough to feed it.
How long are you going to be gone?
Just a few things I noticed: Could use a better skimmer. Coralifes are at about the bottom of the range IMHO. What is your stocking situation? What...
I've never purchased a charity fish, but I have rescued both a mandarin and a butterfly from negligent/uninformed owners. Butterfly didnt make it. I...
Doesn't seem like anything any other rock of the same size wouldn't do. I wouldn't put it in my tank due to it containing volcanic rock. A lot of...
Great looking fish! He is tiny! I agree, give it a few. If he was eating mysis just keep trying that. I have had fish hide and not eat upwards of a...
It works well. I like the wall because it has absolutely no effect on the lighting. That's what I hate about egg crate. I ran the wall on my 40 for a...
Yeah do the pond netting. Glass can lead to oxygen exchange, PH, and heat problems. Another option is to build an acrylic wall around the boarder of...
Dino can be very tough. It's probably the second most common algae that ends systems next to bryopsis. If you're still at the fairly early stages of...
They are nerite eggs ;)
