If you plan on moving your livestock immediately, i would suggest you cycle the dry rock and sand in a separate bucket for a couple weeks. There will...
I've been keeping my two tanks at 80. I may try for 78 on the new tank.
Keep in mind that once any fluid is exposed to co2, the pH will begin to drop. Not sure how long it takes to drop though. Agreed that the stability...
It sounds like you have made reasonable changes. You can check your pH probe by checking it with distilled water. That should read 7.0 before it...
Need some info on your tank. What size, how old is the tank, has it cycle, what are the test results (especially nitrates). Did you add them all at...
You might be a reefer if you justify getting a bigger tank because it will make things "simpler".
Just to update, I ended up getting 50 lbs of reefsaver and 50 of pukani. The pukani seems much less dense. The reefsaver seems more like sculptured...
I don't know why, but I've read somewhere not to use threaded. The true union is like a compression fitting so it's easy to remove. I think you can...
I did my sump the way you described, with a small piece of PVC glued in. Then that PVC conneects to a true union ball valve. This is the one I used:...
I agree with corailline. You really need to have good test kits if you want to know what's really going on. Are you adding any chemicals?
How's the skimmer working out hectat? Getting some foam?
Welcome. How about some pics?
API is notoriously inaccurate. I've been through it myself. Salifert is more accurate.
I can't compare, but I'll tell you why I'm going with Kessil. Early on, I went to a mini seminar from a LFS. He went into debth on energy spectrums....
Ok, just saw the video. The symmetry and accuracy of the circles is spot on. Thanks for posting.
Hey NASA, just wanted to throw out another option for hanging the lights. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] There is a hole in the tube near the light to run the...
The sand likely has die off too.
Are you limited by room for your sump? If not, I'd suggest a bigger one considering what you want to put in it.
My guess is that there is enough organic matter in there for a while. If wait until perameters are in check before adding anything.
I just saw an asernia for the first time in a year and a half that this tank has been running. Must have come in on a fresh i got a couple weeks ago....
