If you don't have a lot of SPS, that's not surprising.
As long as it's consistent, and you do regular wc's, I wouldn't complain, personally.
Thanks, Steve, I think I caught it in time. Vodka dosing was done continuously. I have it, but don't run GFO. I didn't notice any issues...
My long term results are not so good. There were a few corals that weren't too happy during the dosing. As time went on, a number of the LPS started...
That should work great. If you are going to drill, may as well drill the returns as well. It's a cleaner look, and makes it easier if you want to put...
In instances like these, I re-type my responses 3 or 4 times, and use it as an opportunity to better myself, rather than to join others who have a...
Happy birthday Octopii !!
The nitrates are fueling the algae. Is it a FOWLR? Is that the reason for the 1.023? Ca is high for that salinity. dKh is too low. I keep mine at...
That's all you need. Honestly, many FO people use tapwater and Prime. Of course, a RODI unit is better if you can swing it. I'd rather have a FO tank...
You don't need an expensive light for fish, either. I still use an overdriven T8 shop light over the Queen Trigger's tank. It would be a waste of...
An RO unit is not a necessity for FO. I didn't use it for my fish tanks until I got the reef tank going. Don't run the lights a lot to keep algae...
Just do FO for now. :P
If the siphon breaks when the power goes out, or overflows the sump, it is not designed properly.
Here is my version of a super cheap overflow. No siphon to break, snails can't get stuck in it, fish can't jump in it. Cut a slot down the middle of...
Do people think that when corals are broken off in the ocean, that they land vertically on end? With the tip upright? lol. What I've noticed is how...
That's why I switched from a Mag 24 to a Dart-more flow, about half of the power consumption, and very quiet. Very happy now.
Happy Father's Day, all you Dad's out there! It's the Dad Life. [VIDEO]
In my experience, a larger number is better to spread out the aggression. I'd say more like ten, but they have to be WELL fed. I used plants along...
Depends on water quality and how much you feed him. The more food, the better the filtration needs to be. He could possibly double in length....
Actually, Pacu's are a big reason why piranhas get a bad rap. They get big fast, and then the owners find that they can't get rid of them, so they...
