Which barracuda species? Salt/freshwater? The real barracuda is a big saltwater fish, but there's a couple other freshwater fish (the common one...
I've never heard of a poisonous barnacle, but since it is such a huge group of animals, there may be a few species that are poisonous/venomous. It's...
It's mucous. With leathers and zoas, I'd run carbon, since it's gonna contain some nasty chemicals (palytoxin in the case of palythoa/some...
GFO should be separate from the skimmer; as in, keep the pump to the skimmer separate from the pump to the GFO. The GFO pump can either go in the...
None beyond rock, anything other than driftwood or other natural decorations are for cheesy freshwater tanks IMO.
I actually don't know how well it'll work as a powerhead, TBH. That highly optimized secondary vent is going to be ruined by any crud that settles on...
You can't tell about copper by the looks of a skimmer, but I definitely would want to check that before I used it in my tank.
Think of it this way. By the time you buy a set of 4 timers for all this stuff and a power strip (only a couple will actually fit 4 timers), you're...
That one starved.
Awesome! And you really know how to write a thread title on this site ahaha! The suspense is gonna draw in everyone!
He's gonna keep it. Duh! They never return livestock they can't take care of.
I hope so too. But I have no doubt that your odds are far, far less than 50/50. It happens every time. Newer reefer goes "I want this!", takes it...
Now, did you really just want to say "Screw you, I'm the new guy, I know better than all the people more experienced than me that say I shouldn't...
I would say that yes, this is an acceptable way to keep fish, for the reasons mentioned above by Incognito. My LFS has also agreed with the...
And that's why naming every slightly different color morph of zoanthid with a different common name is completely pointless. If the guy who bought a...
It looks like Alfa and Omega, on the first page of their ID section. White balance or saturation alone can change the color that much between...
Yup, that's one of the ways it's normally done.
Here's the Excel spreadsheet. Feel free to use and share, but don't claim it as your own work. .[ATTACH]
There's a chance when dealing with shipped fish or corals that when you open the bag, the pH will raise from contact with oxygen and you'll end up...
I would float them for 15 minutes, then open the bag and put them straight in the tank. I don't like dripping things that have shipped.
