All you really need for it is somewhat decent lighting, and stable water parameters. So once your tank settles down after the cycle you should be...
Your lighting and tank sound good to go for a nem. Just remember that if it starts moving it can reek havoc on your corals. So you need to make sure...
I live in Nevada. We have like 7% humidity here. I go threw a gallon a day on my 55g tank, so yours sound perfectly normal.
Usually just free fish food. My flame angle loves picking them off the glass. :)
The overflow is fed by a siphon, gravity fed no pump needed. You just need a pump to return the water from the sump to the tank.
Wow, that is very cool. Just watching your fish reminds me of how big they actually get. Great job.
They are more than likely spirorbid worms. There little feather dusters and harmless. Do a google search and look at the pictures of them.
You cant leave us hanging like that. What kind of fish are you getting. :)
Lps for me too.
As they age the color spectrum shifts in them more towards the red. This is the spectrum algae loves.
With the pc lighting I would definitely move it up higher in the tank.
Voted and Bump. :P
Sorry to hear about your tank. But it sounds like you really don't have the time right now. You can start again if your situation changes.
Just remember if you paint it, you paint the outside of the glass not the side in the tank. :)
If you just switched to RO then you might have execs nutrients in your tank, and the upgrade in lighting could have triggered the algae growth.
If you dont have an RO unit then you'll definitely want to buy your water somewhere. Walmart does have it cheap, but no way of telling how old the...
Fish trap might be the only way. The jar trick used on crabs wont work seeing how lobsters can swim.
You can also paint the back of the tank. But in your case with it already full this might be a problem. :)
I use BRS two part also. For the Amount I use the starter kit will last me a year, so its very cheap for me.
Put both new bulbs in at the same time, you need to get those bad bulbs out. Then you can lower your lighting time and slowly bring it back to normal...
