Using all dry rock and substrate, with a piece of dead fish and lights on 14 hours per day, my tank took 5 weeks. At 3 weeks, the ammonia and nitrite...
In your last post, the first is your toadstool leather. The second one appears to be a finger leather of some type. You may need to let the...
That would depend on how many stony corals you have in a 30g tank. Some have to dose several times per day to maintain cal, mag, and alk; once you...
Welcome back to the sane side. I was starting to worry that I was losing everyone to the craze. :)
Those pics appear to be of different tanks. Her current tank, BTW, is a SPS-dominant 29 cube with 1 clown and 0 nems. :D
They're normally fairly short-lived in the average aquarium and will disappear on their own. FWIW, you'll see a lot of strange critters come and go...
Once per week along with what they catch on their own should be plenty. It's all too easy to overfeed and have one expel partially digested food...
Didn't realize they dyed nems; just thought maybe it was only partially bleached. Doesn't look quite normal, either way. I'm not surprised that the...
That would be my first guess. I've kept hermits with condys before with no problem. AFAIK, there is only one hermit that actively preys on condy...
So sorry to hear this... Corals are fairly sensitive to temp increases over 2F. Hopefully some will still survive. If you have Prime or can get some...
Did you start your tank with live rock or sand? The one at the top right corner of the pic looks like a hydroid jellyfish. The one dead center,...
Might you be able to use something like this, or at least use the design for a DIY unit? Current Hanging Arm Lighting Assembly, Aquarium Lighting...
It's not necessarily a painful sting; however, someone who is highly allergic may have a serious reaction that requires medical treatment. Got stung...
Don't do that; it may well be the reason it started growing in the DT. Keep the fuge as is- removing it will most likely start a massive bloom in...
You will not need to target-feed soft corals. While they do benefit from small amounts of dissolved organics, feeding fish in the same tank will...
In nature, Condys do not host fish, although in aquaria, they have been known to host Domino Damsels and Maroon Clowns. Can't say I've ever seen a...
This might not be a popular post, but... I've never supported the notion of starving our pets for the sake of reducing tank maintenance. You can...
What do you mean by "supplement"? Are you referring to dosing or feeding? As already mentioned, you won't need to dose anything; routine water...
Sorry for your loss... "Reef-safe" is only a generalization with crustaceans. They all have the potential and the ability to be opportunistic, and...
The rejected water doesn't necessarily have to be wasted; you can collect it for other uses, such as laundry, watering potted plants or garden, etc....
