Go with sugar size oolite and seed a little from somebody else's tank. Have her bring you a T-shirt from Sloppy Joe's instead.
Nothing bad about them. I had them on my old fixture but my new one doesn't have them. I miss them a little but not that much.
50% at one time is way too much. I do 15-20% every two weeks.
That's what they look like after they are fragged. I thing something is cutting them and eating them. I thought Chitons only ate algae. Not sure if...
I just use a couple of appliance timers I bought at Target. They were about $3 each. I too tried the Coralife double timer power strip. It stopped...
This completely agrees with the observations in my tank. With 4x65W PCs (2 -10000K, 2 - actinics) I got very rapid coraline growth. Everything was...
I test at least once a week. I may test certain things more if I'm trying to adjust something like Mg or Alk.
I use a 6500K CFL from Lowes. Works great. This is an old picture. Chaeto has grown about 8x the original size. [IMG]
Xenia will pulse better if there is no current flowing across it. Some people can't get it to pulse in their tanks while others do. It's somewhat...
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Did it make one or two cracks or did it make a thousands of cracks covering the whole piece of glass? If it was tempered then it would crack the hole...
7 times a day is a lot. If I go 2 days I see film.
I wouldn't attempt the anemone under the PC lighting you are describing. I kept a green BTA under the 4 PC bulbs that you are describing in a 72...
Well it sounds like you are doing all of the right things. Make sure to keep the nitrate and phosphate as low as you can. Not sure how many snails...
I blogged about the demise of my brain here. The post includes pics of how the exposed skeleton spread. Paul's Reef: I Lost My Brain Not really sure...
Was there skeleton exposed when you bought it? Based on the amount of algae growing on the skeleton it looks like it was. I made the mistake of...
Looks like GHA. Are you using RO water or tap? Use of RO/DI is highly recommended.
Yeah, I have some orange rust colored coraline growing now. I also have what looks like a drab gray coraline that is growing on some dead base rock I...
Is it also declining in the darker areas of your tank? My coraline has been declining since I upgraded my lighting in December. However, where it is...
I've been using Coralife lately and perform water changes every two weeks. I'm measuring calcium at 540 ppm and magnesium at 1335 ppm in the coralife...
