It sounds like you are referring to the sensor that uses light to detect low water level? I think that would require glass. You may have to use a...
I assume that at this point you have ruled out micro bubbles? If so, that makes bacterial bloom the more likely cause. Have you carbon dosed or is...
I'm less concerned about the initial cost of the chiller. More about the on going expense of running it. I'm trying to keep electricity bills under...
You said earlier that you have chaeto and a 120 watt light over it. Are you still running this setup? How much chaeto do you have? How long do you...
That does look looks a good idea for a specialty tank, though I'm not too thrilled with having to run a chiller.
s there any other type of tank setup where you would actually want a crab like this? It probably couldn't do any harm to a fish only tank.
I wouldn't think it's precipitate. My thinking is that precipitate will settle fairly quickly. Although, I'm not too familiar with ca reactors and it...
A way you can determine if it's bacterial vs. micro bubbles is to get a clear glass of the water an set it on the counter. If it's bubbles, it should...
Can you set a link for your YouTube channel? I'm a bit YouTube challenged.
Cool tank Matt. What do you do when the corals get too big. Or have you had a problem with them overgrowing?
Sorry to hear it. On the bright side, less population gives the others a better shot. Did you end up leaving them in the tank?
+1^. I thought about it after, and must be a typo.
Welcome back ofk. Glad to see you are no longer MIA.
This is what I was referring to. I'd suggest getting as many rocks as you want to put in the tank. Let them cycle in a bucket in salt water for a few...
It probably wouldn't make a great difference. The bacteria will populate according to the environment.
How are you going to treat the rocks?
Ammonia and nitrites are the most damaging to life forms. Nitrate is not nearly as toxic. Have you read up and understand the nitrogen cycle? That is...
I'll be glad to dyno, but I have the 120. On mine the canopy height is adjustable. I'll probably set mine to the max, about 7 inches. I'll measure...
Hey chum, I can vouch for the quality of SCA aquariums. The only down side so far is that the plumbing is metric. I ended up converting all the...
You may not be on the right track with API. Can you get salifert?
