And another update... Sun coral continuous to progress. Next step is to start trying to feed it during the day. [IMG] Seagrass is growing slowly...
The pouch is back to normal today. I didn't attempt to treat it and the seahorse is swimming and eating normally, so I will just closely monitor the...
I disagree that mandarins can only survive long term on live food. If the mandarin is eating a well selected and varied diet of frozen food, it can...
Unfortunately I have encountered what I consider to be my first major obstacle... the male seahorse seems to have developed "pouch emphysema"...
I fed my old tank with New Life Spectrum pellets in an Eheim autofeeder once per day into a "feeding tube" (just a PVC pipe) to ensure the pellets...
Another small update! I purchased a sun coral last week. It has shown slow progress. The daily feedings are becoming easier. May 3rd - no...
Guess you'll have to duck tape the U-tube to the overflow now haha. Fool proof!
I haven't had an issue with losing siphon during power outages either, and I too used one for about 3 years. As long as the overflow keeps both...
Thanks for the data. Did you round the values off for each side? It is unusual to see two different fixtures give off exactly the same PAR, usually...
In my opinion, the main disadvantage of gravel compared to sand is that there is far less surface area on gravel for bacteria to grow. Some would...
I think gravel is fine for a fish only tank. Just vacuum it regularly. I haven't seen it in a reef tank, but it could probably work if it was kept...
True that! There are less expensive models out there on Ebay of course. I will continue researching this and planning before spending a dime.
This appears to be my solution to the issue of peristaltic pumps clogging up when used for larger feeds... the syringe pump. From Razel Scientific...
Sorry to hear about your clam! I had a clam awhile ago that kept "bailing". At least I thought that was what it was doing. Turns out my strawberry...
Very cool article on Advanced Aquarist today about how a team of scientists discovered the answer to one of the longest standing questions in our...
So I'm coming to the point where I will have to leave my seahorses for a few days at a time over the summer. I knew this would be a challenge to...
This makes sense as there would probably be less CO2 in the water at higher pHs. Higher alk can actually increase algae growth, since carbon would...
Up to a point, the more photons hitting chlorophyll, the more oxygen is evolved, and the more CO2 is sequestered.
Not much to update, just more pics! Seahorses make excellent subjects haha. I added a Hawaiian feather duster and a Sinularia leather a couple of...
Wow that looks like a forest in the fall. Gorgeous. Do you supplement CO2?
