I have a scraper with stainless steel blade. Works great for coralline. While saltwater is corrosive, it won't dissolve metal that quickly. :)
LOL... it is several hours later... :D FWIW, while I never tried Reef Cleaners, there were a couple of sites that were down for me yesterday, as...
Any check valve has the potential for failure. Your best insurance against excess backflow is to keep the end of your return line/nozzle at or near...
First, diatoms are usually caused by silicates. It's typical of a newer system to have an outbreak, but once the silicates are used up, it dies off...
Close, but I leave the bag hanging in the tank after temp acclimation and use a turkey baster to remove bag water and add tank water. Exactly. :)
Hmmm... don't know where you heard that one, but it's definitely wrong. You are correct, everything they eat in the wild is raw, and also usually...
Don't know if it's related, but it's generally not a good idea to feed cooked food to your livestock; artificial crab is cooked fish with artificial...
Get both! :D
I'm not really a big fan of the designer clownfish, but I must say that one is very beautiful. Congratulations and good luck. :)
I respectfully disagree. Far too many threads on Pepps attacking perfectly healthy corals. I've experienced them killing healthy short-tentacled...
+1 Just one point to add-- If you initially decide to purchase bottled water, make sure it's RO/DI or distilled. DO NOT use "spring water"; some is...
Cool. That works, too. Yep. It'll calm down before long. That's all I do. Never had a problem with it. No problem... It's always better to ask...
There certainly is a pink-tip condy that looks similar to his pics; however, it's tentacles tend to be a bit longer for that size nem, as well as...
Beautiful nem (and tank), Travis. :) I always fed my nems fresh meaty foods, as well as a variety (fish, shrimp, clam, etc). You can try something...
I agree with Vinny 100%, but just to help ease your mind, you're adding your own backup solution-- the CuC would feed on any die-off and the zoas...
I've used Carribsea AragAlive a couple of times with good results. No ammonia or any indication of die-off, just plankton blooms and lots of critters...
Pretty cool, Todd! Almost makes me want one. :)
Sweet! Congratulations. :)
FTR, the natural coral reef is not the peaceful haven we try to recreate in our tanks. In reality, it's one of the most hostile environments on the...
Agree that would work equally well, as a skimmer or conventional filtration does not remove Nitrates and Phosphates, the main food source for macro...
