Now you know I value your opinion, and a debate it is. Your points makes all the sense in the world to me. ;D
Thanks. :) Skimmers are great, just not on this tank. No doubt behind the science of foam fractionation and it's benefits to a system. I actually...
Food for thought, and a whole other can of worms. Now see if it's used to deter predation, might it not have some adverse effect on neighboring...
If it were me I would just be patient, most corals and mushrooms will not fully expand when new, especially if freshly fragged. The image looks...
And this is why hobbyist are important to the science and visa versa. Can not tell you how many people told me I was nuts, and I almost believed them.
Flatworms are not a natural diet for Mandarins, while it may appear to be picking at them it will probably only eat them if nothing else is available...
Actually I did try them on occasion, maybe it was before I actually knew what I was looking for or at, but I did not notice the same response....
I would say that if you did not use any FW chemicals in the tank, and the phosphate levels were appropriate, that if you rinse it good and let it dry...
Decided to update this thread because I have learned a few newer things since it's original posting 6 months ago. At that time I was getting some...
Thank you sirs, for the break down of the basic chemistry. I will now change my profile name to clueless. ;)
I have limited knowledge on the newer T5 or combination fixtures and no reference for LED. I use MH in a shallow tank, so for me 6-7 hours is more...
Well I label you a guru. :P Thank you for the input, I will do some home work on polymers or rethink my limited knowledge base on carbon source....
IMO is almost always a safe bet to start lower in the tank with mushrooms. They are more likely to close due to too much light rather than too...
I was hoping some of you guru's would elaborate on this please. TIA
If after 3-4 days they are still closed I would. 1. Check all paramters, SG...... 2. Move to an area of lower lighting. 3. Move to an area of lower...
Welcome to 3reef.
Thanks Steve, Yes you are right, I was thinking complete along the lines of MB7. On that note, bio-pellets is the medium or substrate, made of...
We would expect the tank with the bio pellets and biofuel to take longer to kick in right? Instead of adding the food to feed the bacteria that...
A Berlin system. I am perplexed as to why you have any detectable ammonia value. Makes me wonder if it's the test, or your having big enough temp...
#4: Domino Damsel or Blue Velvet Damsel, both very aggressive as they mature and get larger. I would sure be reluctant to put one in a large peaceful...
