Just like with any feeding, too much will cause more algae, higher nitrates and higher phosphates. You have to find the balance for your filtration...
I no! Did she pull the powerhead and nem? Better to move them into some kind of QT now rather than risk all your live stock going down hill until you...
Hmm, white led moonlights maybe. I think they would be about the right intensity. I want to see this done, and then have you come hook it up for my...
I ran my MP10 at half flow at night for about 3 months. I have had it running full flow at night for about another 3 months now and can see a visible...
It's possible that you have some species of coral in your tank would would be stimulated into releasing spores. The is an even slighter chance that...
I agree with you, I wouldn't treat the DT unless your sure of what your treating. You said before you don't like the fish you have in there, so why...
It's basically just a fine mesh bag that goes on the end of the plumbing where it enters the sump. Awesome, I love the Boulder area. I live in...
Oh, make sure to get some pictures and post them here: http://www.3reef.com/forums/reef-cleaners/ugly-tank-contest-2-cyanos-revenge-76776.html...
Welcome to 3reef.
Yes, that should work fine. You can also get pure garlic extract at the grocery store.
I couldn't focus on the build of this thread. All I could see was teaser shots of a couple amazing tanks. We need more pictures.
Yes, there will be problems. Unless you have an ATO the ever changing water level will make it hard to get your skimmer consistently tuned. You may...
Have you tried some garlic with the food to get the firefish eating better? Definitely do water changes once a week to limit nutrients in the system.
I would do 4-6 hours of acnics only. This should keep your fish on some type of day night schedule, while limiting light for the algae to feed on....
It's mostly personal preference. You should run your lights between 8 and 12 hours. If your viewing time lines up with how long your lights are on...
I run an Odyssea 20k. It gives the coral an amazing glow, and when mixed with 10 tubes it gives everything a nice white mix.
11am-Moonlights off, fuge lights off, acnics on 11:30am-Halide on 7:30pm-Halide off 8pm-acnics off, moonlights on, fuge lights on
What you need to do is run a reduced light cycle until the GHA dies off. You will then be able to get an honest reading on nitrates and phosphates...
Since you don't have any fish, I would run acnics only while it's your tank viewing time. Your fish shouldn't mind much.
That looks like the same light as this one: Odyssea Metal Halide System It's a little cheaper here and you know it is coming from a reputable,...
