That's a fairly typical setup for canisters. :) I had a Magnum 350 at one time; it, too, had valves on both inlet and outlet lines. They were for...
Yes, but only if it's adjusted on the inlet side. Any pump can be trimmed on the outlet line without problems.
Your lighting is more than sufficient. I'm running ATI Coral Plus bulbs in my 2x T5HO. I love the color. You can check my tank thread for reference,...
+1 I wouldn't recommend the cpr; the aqualifter is just another point for possible failure; if it breaks, you get a flood. OTOH, if you match an...
The quad T5HO is actually suitable for reef lighting. If you think you might want to add corals in the future, or if you just want it because it's a...
Congrats on the addition, Holly. I'm a big fan of Damsels, myself- they're beautiful, easy to care for, and most stay relatively small. I've found...
+1 Ocean Nutrition Angel Formula Most marine angels will ultimately need this for long-term survival and good health. Good luck with your Coral...
Beautiful tank, Grinder. Love your selection of corals. :D
Thank you, Vinny. I really appreciate that. I missed being on here, too.
Thank you, Grinder! Softies are definitely my favorite. Much easier to care for. :)
Thank you! :)
Thanks for asking, but no, not at the moment. Just recovering from a computer crash and haven't yet installed the software for my camera. Not much...
All in all, I don't believe you would be happy with it in the end. You're going to spend months curing the rock, as it will be loaded to the core...
If you're going to dry it, why bother? You can buy dry rock most anywhere that will require a lot less cleaning and curing to be usable.
A skimmer can only remove a certain percentage of available proteins, so yes, it is entirely possible to have a bioload that's "too small" for a...
+1 One question, though- why do you think your tank is high in nutrients? Do you have algae issues or have you tested the water and seen high...
Considering that your Chaeto is dying, releasing DOCs and nutrients into the water and your reactors are absorbing that as well, I don't see an issue...
The long, non-tapered tentacles are indicative of the Ritteri, although other nem species can appear similar under insufficient lighting.
Too many question marks... we need specifics. It's definitely not happy and won't survive very long in that state. What are your exact parameters,...
That would do it, especially the ammonia. What do you have for CuC?
