Put a glass in the sand angled so the crab can't climb out. Put some food in it at lights out. It should crawl in and not be able to climb up the...
That is a good looking one for sure. They eat like pigs, so I wouldn't worry too much about overfeeding it. Just try to keep it to a couple times a...
You should be able to break it off by hand. The bond should either break at the frag plug or under the acro. They are pretty hard so the actual frag...
True sand is much better. Not true the bacteria that makes live rock work is non-photosynthetic. How big is your tank? It will help, but...
I would leave them on. The entire skeleton of your coral is dead. It's all just the building blocks of a stony coral. I've heard that when birdsnest...
Torch coral. My acros are growing like crazy, I can keep frogspawn or hammer coral no problem, but torches die out fast in my tank.
Have you tested the water any during the time it's been fishless? I would first test the water, then throw in a table shrimp and keep testing. If...
A week in the single digits and teens, a week in the 50's. Get out your coat, put it away and repeat until late March.
I agree it will be too small for a lion. If that's your choice of size, why not go with something more uniquely styled? Current USA Cardiff 24gal...
I like this also. What about baffles that slide into slots in the sides of the sump. You could sell different size baffles so we can adjust water...
I think the frag compartment is an awesome idea. What about a compartment you can block off and drain for a water change then mix water in and...
Your fish should do just fine on what you are feeding it. The angel/butterfly formula is very important to keeping them healthy. Good job getting it...
No problem. Let me know if you need anything else. I can always stop by to take a look at it if you need me to.
Oh gotcha. That should work perfectly than. Put the ball valve after the pipe that re-circulates flow back into the sump. This way you can dial back...
I had a question about one thing on the drawing. I wrote it on there. The ball valve going to the fuge should be after the T but before the fuge....
I didn't think about the pods being filtered out. I'm changing my opinion. I agree, you should put the return in the middle.
I would put the skimmer first. That way the water is as clean as possible when it gets to the fuge. Also no pods will get skimmed out.
If you want more flow from your return I would stick with the new pump. You could install a t in your overflow plumbing that feed the new xenia...
Adding live rock later would most likely cause a full or mini cycle. You will be able to add dry base rock though, which will seed and turn into live...
Yes, this way all the water that runs through your sump will be skimmed and sparkling clean.
