Is there another location in a different area of the tank you could put the frag? Maybe the tang just doesn't like it on his turf? :)
The DI is the only way you will get absolutely pure water I believe. The water coming out of the RO membrane still usually has some stuff left in it,...
1 flood (only a gallon or two) was all it took for me to get a water sensing alarm for the kitchen and soon after that the auto-shutoff kit from...
On my new tank I'm planning on only turning over my tank volume through the sump 5 times an hour about. Save on electricity/heat for one thing....
I think the new aquascape looks much better, glad to see you didn't stay with the donut look. ;D Good luck!
To me that's something you don't like about them and are upgrading to a fixture with more/better features. ;D
In my opinion if you're already upgrading your T5's because you don't like them I would look for something above the fixtures already mentioned, I...
That's a great series of articles. Really helps get a better idea of how everything all fits together. Thanks for pulling it all together.
Looking good! One thing to keep in mind that you might have to readjust the valve on your main drain once saltwater is in there since it will...
Just an example of a 24" deep tank on only T5's. Tank of the Month - July 2008 - Reefkeeping.com The number of bulbs needed is determined by the...
There are lots of great looking tanks of all sizes using only T5's, keeping every kind of coral. As long as you have good quality...
Nevermind, silly and offtopic.
I don't see alkalinity in your chemistry, that is one of the most important parts of chemistry for acros. 8-11 dkh is generally considered a good...
Nice progress, and choice of beverage! I assume that raised tank is a refugium, and is that only supported by the two boards on the ends? If so, is...
Carbonate hardness (alkalinity) is more important than Calcium in my understanding. Too high or low really impacts coral growth/health. 14 is on the...
My understanding is that everything that settles to the bottom after you mix it up good is stuff you do not want in your tank. I made a little stand...
I assume you meant "to get"? I like Trochus and Ceriths mainly for rock/glass cleaning, although I might keep one or two Turbos around just for...
That's good to hear, I'm not a big fan of Ebay personally, just my personal distrust of some random guy on the internet more than any rational reason...
If you have a Tunze osmolator you can just put your kalkwasser powder in your RO topoff water, that's what I do, but I do have a Neptune...
Yeah that would be interesting, or some other nonconventional lighting schedule, like 3 on, 1 off 6 cycles a day. Might be annoying if you actually...
