A bristle tooth tang would be okay, maybe a kole or tomini. I've kept a Yellow, but to be honest, once it got big, it just looked stupid in a...
Denitrifing bacteria can take a long time to establish. 7 weeks is nothing, so, not surprising that there wouldn't be much nitrification. Also,...
I've always found skimmer pumps can be a bit finicky and sometimes won't restart. So, I only turn them off occasionally, if I am prepared to clean...
Also, by the way, if you look at the evidence for the necessity of trace elements. Organisms that seem to require them the most, seems to be ones we...
I'm not so sure about that. I think what people seem to ignore is that they are "trace" elements, meaning they occur in the ocean in "trace"...
Okay, I'll give it a shot ;D I think there is a lot of guessing. Not much real data, but I think it is safe to guess that molybdenum will be...
I think there is a lot of guessing. Not much real data, but I think it is safe to guess that strontium will be toxic at some level. What's tougher...
Also, a few good reads: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2003/11/chemistry It's (In) The Water by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com
Even with minimal water changes, you may still be more likely to have too much of a lot of this stuff than too little. A lot of salts are super high...
When in doubt, guess sponge ;D So, I'll guess sponge...
Not many macros actually remove much. Some of the faster growing ones are better, but have side effects, such as mentioned for caulupera. I'd also...
Great pics John :thumb_up:
Well, I don't actually think SPS corals eat marine snow... It's dead, decaying waste by the time it gets into your tank, but that's another story......
I wouldn't go by a Sera phosphate kit. There probably aren't any test kits on the market that are accurate enough for reef tank levels of phosphate....
What test kit? Many are only accurate to that, so, doesn't necessarily mean anything. Do you get a lot of algae?
Doesn't really sound like cyano, but there are a number of strains of cyano. I don't think it is the typical purple slime. A pic would be great...
You don't need the DA kit, just a float switch. Take a look at autotopoff.com if you want to do it that way. Really though, i think your better...
I don't know, depends what you like I guess. The carbon fiber sound bad-azz to me though :thumb_up:
GFO works fine in a canister filter, but as vankirk said, the flow rate needs to be low, so that it is not pulverized. As long as you can turn down...
1.021 should not have any effect on fish, good or bad. They are good osmoregulators and can handle it. I guess a benefit would be you'd save about...
