LR VS BIOBALLS huh the argument is that the deep holes in the rock provides anerobic zones to process nitrates. i say theres very few anerobic zones...
the bacteria still colonize the bioballs, they are just forced to use oxygen from the water water column. i think the periodic exposure in a wet dry...
its not a wet/dry its just a wet lol make sure you rinse those bioballs every 2 weeks to prevent nitrates from becoming high.
welcome to 3reef. you picked good starting size as far as dimension are concerned for aesthetics. a bit tall (good thing you choose halides) but...
sounds fine to me, you dont need to really make any big decisions right now. most people that start with 55g usually move to a bigger tank...
not really, a uv filter may be worth getting. as it will slow ich population in the water. and may be worth using during new additions
i agree coralline is the most obvious answer assuming its not just green algae in rock pours.
now when where saying the animals died the same way. are we blaming poor water quality from ammonia spikes or something else? i would assume could...
i havent thought about this in years. so some of the numbers may not be accurate but the gist of the argument is. DI cleans water better, but it will...
i would assume its cleaner with both. as di will leave organic molecules. di removes all minerals(most of the impurities happen to be, leaving water...
if you use lighting during the cycle you may develop bad algae , but i have cycled many tanks with the lights on. i would just say if you want the...
its not RO its DI. deionization these are common, they sell them at petstores too sometimes. a di removes all impurities, as RO may leave some. Di...

its thailand i think, i remember seeing it on a three sheets episode. its called a balut....
not very good unless you rearrange rock, even then these conflicts may mysteriously reappear after many months of peace
thanks for the article, i didn't even know of food additives besides selcon until a year ago. are you posting pics of your quarentine house, i wanna...
that is perhaps the best diy skimmer i have seen, and it does cut the price in half i would say(guessing 150 to build that with no parts and drill...
its basically rock that has been sitting in a tank with high flow and skimmer for a couple weeks usually a month. cured basically means cycled.
the only reason i know about the silicon, is i made a divider in one of my tanks, silicon w/ acrylic will hold a few pounds but nothing coming close...
is it cured? i wouldnt add uncured to the tank as it may or may not have die causing a massive ammonia spike. you may want to think about using...
