We are planning a holiday in the caribbean but can't decide where is best to go. We have decided that we want to go to Antigua or St Lucia but can't...
No explosions... this is how you can make organic polmers: Make Potato Plastic! I won't be doing the pressure cooker method - guarenteed to cause...
I will be trying this tomorrow. My plan is to add corn flour (starch source), glycerin (molecular lubricant), vinegar (amylopectin dissolver), water...
Awesome, I envy you. Only 6 weeks and I'll be in the caribbean snorkelling, I can't wait!! :):):)
My yellow watchman goby lives with his female watchwoman goby and a pistol shrimp.
Hows the tank doing now? Any more news? Sorry for your losses.
I would still check your magnesium and calcium levels as luna suggested just in case one of these parameters is slightly out.
Alkalinity and pH are related, alk is the buffering capacity of water and is a measure of carbonate (CO3) and bicarbonate(HCO3). Generally if alk...
Every tank is different, diatoms usually have a short bloom until most silicates are used up. They are readily eaten by most herbivores unlike cyano...

I would do small water changes about 5-10% every 2-3 days with a descent salt mix to lower your calcium to around 420mg/L this needs to be done...

I agree with GuitarMan89. Sounds like it might be calcium precipitation due to phosphate, your calcium level is quite high and a small amount of...
You need a skimmer for this type of filtration, not only will it remove bacterial byproducts and organics which can cause problems but also to aerate...
+1 on following the vodka dosing article on reefkeeping.com. As you'll see, you start with a small dose and slowly increase it until your nitrates...
It took about 9 months after pairing my 2 yellow watchman gobies for them to spawn. I had the male and the pistol shrimp in the tank about 6 months...
In the long term pistol shrimp have a better chance of survival with a goby. There are a small number that will survive in captivity without a goby...
