+something haha. Yeah, I don't believe I've ever rinsed food before, but I usually don't tell people that LOL. Great to see RHF writing again!
You may want to setup an intermediate tank and nuke them a few times before moving them to the final tank. Often you don't get all of them on the...
Pic?
Oh, now you must see the problem with this statement.... UV=405-420? ::) ;D
probably a few hitchhikers decided conditions were good to start growing.. Zoas can morph, but they don't look like morphs to me really. Anything...
I would use the existing saltwater to rinse the liverock. If you are inclined to scrub, be very gentle and use a toothbrush or something, but don't...
How long have you had it? Did you change anything other than the lighting? Do you test calcium and alkalinity? Any algae growing in the tank?
No, not at all, the loss drops off over time, sorry, I just didn't get into that. Initial loss is high, then it starts loosing efficiency slower....
Cool, congrats. Water changes are never a bad idea, even if levels are fine. There are a lot of things that accumulate, which we can not test for....
LEDs if properly cooled should probably loose somewhere around 5% of their output per year. If not properly cooled, could loose a lot more. I think...
Corals adapt to dim light faster. However, long term, if acclimated properly, will generally do better with more light. There is certainly a point...
Well, if you're coming from a sea clone, it may seem that it skims like a $500 skimmer. If you've ever used a $200-$300 Reef Octopus, Eshops,...
Feeding a lot will often cause BTAs to split. Feeding every other day is a more than a lot. Even once a week is a lot IMHO. I don't feed mine at...
I wouldn't bother skimming if less than about 30g. If larger it is most likely worth doing so, but still only if you buy a decent skimmer. Cheap...
They aren't out yet, so no one can really tell you much about them. There is something wrong with the PAR chart though, others use the same LEDs...
That's why I tend not to keep zoas LOL. Kind of a PITA really. You can kill them with kalk past, like an aptaisia or sometimes pull them up like a...
1/4" screen works great. Never use a glass cover on a reef. How to: Clear 1/4" Screen Netting 6.5' x 2.5' - English
Nems and some SPS don't necessarily need tons of light, esspecially if there is food available. Most BTAs I've kept, usually settle into 100-200 PAR...
I'm not quire sure why it's perplexing? I may have missed something? Those LEDs look very widely spaced. You get PAR from overlap of the LED...
I don't really care for shallow display tanks. For one, if you have a tone of flow, looking at everything from the top down looks distorted. And...
