I've seen but never used the yellow one - are you sure it's for the same range pH? Different pens I believe are best suited for different ranges....
Nope. I won't buy any livestock from them. It's not just their SW livestock. It's their birds, dogs, cats, gerbils, reptiles, spiders. I do hold...
might be an age thing too... T5 bulbs only last 8 months IME (folks say 9, but by 9 I have algae outbreaks, I change at 8).
so I'm not all about calling a surface skimmer and a protein skimmer entirely different... My skimmer has a surface skimmer on the intake (sig for...
MD needs to respond here. I agree with the overall point Fronty is making. However, I also recognize MD has a policy that says basically "reserve...
Happy Birthday! Just saw it, sorry for belated wishes ;D
In three years I did maybe 6 water changes on my (55 gallon) mixed reef. (and that was for trace elements, like said, those are harder to dose, but...
i do dip clams in FW. nothing else though.
My thoughts exactly. I just today put in for a custom crew to restock after my move. will be like my 3rd or 4th order from him.
same here. i've never had the first switch fail in 3 years... i have to manually test them occasionally :)
Not sure why you care about dents in the carpet... they'll eventually rebound once the tank is gone. I just moved and I have some heavy furniture -...
is this fish only or you keep coral too? I would definitely automate the water top off. your friend can't come over often enough for that... If...
worth repeating IMO. I don't see that anything has changed to change the advise. ticking time bomb when you take the brace out. Put it back as...
So it's the hard tube right? Calciferous. Doesn't matter where you put it (sand/rock). Just don't blast it with flow - they prefer delicate to...
moving tomorrow. going to move the tank the next day (or day after that maybe). got a fresh batch of 55 gallons of salt water made up. Should be...
yes, they can take a while. All my blasto colonies like med-high flow and low to moderate light. you mention low flow. mine do poorly in low flow.
it doesn't need to be a precise science. they're not very sensitive.
IMO, bc "the 2 x 4 that runs horizontally across the back" is laying flat and not on its side, you should not remove the center brace. FYI, here...
low to medium flow IME with my T5 I had to keep them on the substrate.
Just to reiterate on what the rat said, that is not good people water. It is concentrated nasty.
