+1 You're not going to see much (if any) coralline growth until your tank is cycled and your chemistry is stabilized. Lights won't feed anything but...
LOL If there's anything I can kill faster than a neon tetra, it would be live plants. :o Great video, John... Thanks for posting. Beautiful tank,...
Lovely addition, John... congratulations! Tank looks awesome, as usual. :)
Looks great, Smitty! :thumb_up:
+1 - bubbles are completely harmless. Do you have a bubble trap between your skimmer outlet and the return pump?
It's perfectly normal for a nem to crawl under a rock when introduced into unfamiliar conditions, such as stronger flow or lighting than what they're...
I know that feeling... :)
FWIW, I had a PC fixture on my first reef a few years ago, and for whatever reason, the bulbs came as 55 and 65w. I bought whatever was on the shelf...
That would actually benefit you twofold- As a reefer you already know the benefit of LR. A few finger leather or colt corals would also help with...
LOL! The down side is that they have a mind of their own. I had 3 nems and a selection of polyps, soft and LPS corals and my clowns still preferred...
I prefer to let nature take it's course. You'll get a more stable, robust bio-filter that way.
You'll eventually want a couple detritivores, but I would wait until you see the need for them as they will starve without a sufficient amount of...
+1 Also, your hermits and emerald would be feasting on it. FWIW, sometimes they just take a break. :)
Very nice, Holly. Beautiful tank and corals. I love your Electric Blue hermit. :)
You'll want to rinse the rock and sand to remove loose dust. Since it's clean (no life forms), there's no reason why you can't add all of it at once....
Personally, I'd keep a close eye on nutrient levels and determine from there how much/often water changes need to be done. Weekly water changes are a...
With a 90g, you'll have roughly half a ton of weight. As long as you place it perpendicular to the floor joists (parallel with the building) and near...
Could you please define "nano technics"? Most of the ones I've seen use the same filtration as anyone else- LR, LS, skimmer, fuge...
You're quite welcome. :) I'd also recommend running a heavy amount of carbon until your ammonia and nitrites get back to zero. That will help mop up...
Either a razor or sharp knife should do the trick. Just make sure you get all of it.
