Depends on where you are in the hobby. If you're new or the tank is new, I'd say test full spectrum often. Weekly even. As the tank matures,...
I disagree. A water change to solve this is the wrong approach IMO. First, I don't see a problem that needs fixed. Second, a WC is a lot of work...
rock on John. Another happy reefer ;D
Well, I wouldn't say I misunderstood, I would say it was never specified ;) I agree though that a SW rinse won't harm the bacteria in the rock....
did you see the clam sticky? http://www.3reef.com/forums/clams/must-reads-about-clams-75670.html
It *might* be OK but I wouldn't want to risk it. Long term, I'd have the question in the back of my head "is this problem x due to that uncleaned...
Make up a large enough vat for your rock (I use 5 gallon buckets). Fill bucket will a RO/bleach blend 1:10 or so. Doesn't have to be exact. Put...
anybody with actual experience on this idea? Sounds interesting.
There is a reason you shouldn't do this. Simply rinsing LR (particularly with FW) will end up killing off a lot of the bacteria. The rinse won't...
So ReefSparky, I'm curious, in the story you mention... how'd the sign company do? I mean, you just said you didn't think it was a great name (more...
there are laws around this... just be sure you stay legal... past that, you can't just grab any ol' snail, you got to be able to ID what you're...
I think I'll go with the damsels. Maybe throw in a pseudochromis (spelling?) or whatever they're called. Should be able to do well w/the damsels...
LPS. I have a bit of it all though. SPS is very boring IMO. It just sits there. It's colorful, yay!, but that's about it. Softies grow too fast...
I'd say the bristle worms are not an infestation at all. Totally normal, you just don't normally see them out like that. Also, the hippo tang had...
also, i am aware that chromis and clownfish are all damsels
I lost my CB the other day. I'm guessing it didn't care for the sponge variety provided it and didn't end up gettin sponge in its diet... I've...
your Mg is exactly where it should be. I don't see any problem with the Ca at 600 (not my cup of tea though, I prefer 400-450) but that's the reason...
you're kind of asking the wrong person... ask John directly - just reply to any of the mails you got from the website, he'll respond. He's real good...
Thanks ya'll. I eat fish so I don't see any big deal with it. If this fish was a good size bigger, I'd eat it myself.
I voted for South Florida Reef Tank Club [ S.F.R.T.C.] because "reef society" or similar sounds like you are actively doing something...
