No, that's cheating. lol The OP doesn't have that option. How much does bottled RO/DI cost there? Is the LFS a lot cheaper?
How much would you pay for RO/DI where you are? I don't have a LFS that sells it. Buying bottled is $2.49/gal, which is still a lot cheaper than...
I've used it and loved it Yes, I've used the Petco real ocean water with great results in one of my former tanks. The cost is not that far from...
Isn't that the truth! I certainly never imagined anything like this. If all else fails, I'll probably frag it. Not too fond of frequent trimmings.
This coral is 12 inches tall and quite bushy in a 29g tank... not much room for moving things around. Definitely hope my buddy takes it (and really...
Thank you, Cheryl. Your input is very much appreciated. Definitely don't want to cut it if I can avoid it. BTW, my toadstool is nearly 6 inches...
My colt has grown so large that I'm having trouble placing it where it can't touch other corals, which it purposely seems to do if one is in reach......
In order to drown, one needs lungs for breathing atmospheric gases (air); lacking that, a fish can only suffocate.
Would one of our friendly LED gurus mind chiming in on this question? The OP is asking if 2 of those units would be sufficient for a 90g SPS tank......
Your cal would be the issue with the LPS corals. You need to get that up a bit. As for the snails, how much algae do you have in the DT? Without a...
Sorry, but no. Again, the lionfish is a predator; anything that fits in his mouth is a potential snack. Furthermore, the fuzzy dwarf requires a 50g+...
I haven't used them, nor have I read anything about them, so I honestly can't say whether or not they would work. Just bumping your question hoping...
I'd definitely be afraid to use it for anything aquatic. Water puts a lot of stress on those weak points. It would be fine to use or sell as a...
+1 Absolutely! Also, recent studies have shown that the same modest level of denitrification does indeed occur in SSBs and LR, so the DSB is mostly...
The only "right" amount is what you need for your livestock. I've seen very minimalistic rockscapes (less than 1/4lb/gal), as well as the wall that...
+1 to both. Furthermore, a ball of chaeto would remove nitrates much more efficiently without the potential pitfalls of the dsb.
In short, CF is old technology. The bulbs aren't cheap, and need replaced every 6 months as they lose their color spectrum. Also, they produce low...
HAHAHA!!! That's a good one, Curt! Agreed, but my daughter says it's Gizmo. lol
I, too, prefer to err on the side of caution; however, you will need to feed the bacteria with some type of ammonia source, otherwise it will die and...
There are still a lot of nay-sayers who base their opinions on outdated tests and reviews, but as flaws are discovered, improvements are made- that's...
