Thanks guys. I have always gone off the hydrometer "safe-range" instead of actually researching it.
1.026 SG is about 35 PPT, which is about average ocean salinity. But keep in mind, it is a range from about 31 PPT to about 38 PPT (hence the average...
I have always kept mine around 30 PPT (roughly 1.022 SG). As I was studying for finals, I realized that the average salinity of the ocean is about...
Does anyone have an idea of how I would go about creating a light similar to the one he made in the link? Also, would there be any need for a carbon...
Interesting concept re: DIY fuge. It might have to look into that more before I make my decision. I am in no rush as I just put water back into my...
I'm looking to add a macro-algae to my tank (once it cycles). When I had the tank (20 gallons) set up originally (leak in tank), I had a little bit...
When I start I start registering nitrates in my tests, will it be time to introduce a macro algae and clean up crew? or should I introduce a clean up...
Grape Caulerpa, Halimeda (Money Plant), Codium (Short) and Cactus Caulerpa are all esthetically pleasing to me. Is one better than another in terms...
This is what I purchased a couple years back. Walmart.com: AquaTech Filter 20-40: Fish
There is no telling what levels my nitrate or phosphate levels are at in my tap water; we have a well system. I have never tested my phosphate...
Adding some macro algae would act similarly to how a sump would act, correct?
I thought of an idea, I just don't know if it is a logical one or not. After a bit of time cycling, I might trade in a piece of my rock for a piece...
I disassembled my tank about a year ago due to a leak. I resealed the tank and am looking to cycle my tank again. Now, I will admit that I was...
Definately will. Hopefully I can get a few pics too.
I wish I knew what kind it was. It is, from what I can tell, just skeleton covered by algea and coraline. I guess it must be another algea. Oh well....
I had a silent killer in my tank...phosphates. It caused an overwelming algae problem (red slime and green air). It was apparently in my tap water....
Just tested it. Nitrates roughly 10 ppm Nitrites 0 ppm Ammonia 0 ppm
Whoops, sorry. I have T5 lights. Thank for all the great pointers guys. I tend to blow off my rocks with a baster to keep as little detritus on...
Lack of flow may be a problem, but it pops up everywhere in the tank, even where there is flow. I use tap water and always have. This is a fairly...
