Too bad you don't live closer, I own a granite countertop company. I give reefers a good deal. ;)
Thanks! :thumbs_up Nothing, yet. I literally just put them in the tank before I took the pictures. They are comfortable cruising around now, so...
Yesterday I was at the LFS thinking about getting a Dragonface Pipefish, but they had already sold the last one. Today a local guy was breaking his...
Sure, no problem, Steve. This area is right up front and gets a lot of flow. Some nice red bubble algae, and a little green and red. There is very...
I'm going to give it a try as well, Steve. I did the first dose last night. I already have a fuge full of chaeto and vodka dose. No nitrates or...
The expansion between wood and stone is too great. That's where cracks in the grout come from. Sometimes you can get away with it, sometimes you...
Use 1/4" Hardy board over the 3/4" ply, a good thinset, and epoxy grout.
You are correct, sir, and it's unnecessary.
Of course 80 degrees is fine for your DT. I'm saying it's not necessary to raise the temperature from 75 to 80-84. That misinformation is...
But Cupramine is effective against velvet. :confused: So you are treating the fish correctly either way.
With a bad infestation, that's not quite enough time to see a remarkable improvement. If it is really velvet, chances are he could have died already....
The Emerald didn't eat the zoas or the dendro, and there was no algae growing on either one. He just pulled them apart and let the pieces float away....
The copper is killing the ich, not a raise in temp, that will only reduce oxygen and cause a little more stress. Also, garlic is only to enhance...
Nope, no prefilter. Restricting the intake will reduce the life of the pump. Filters clog. A grate to keep bigger things out is a must.
Maybe I missed it, Steve, but what about macro algae. Did the system have any chaeto or caulerpa in it?
Seems like you still have an ammonia issue. .25 isn't so good. Since you are doing daily water changes, are you running a powerhead in the makeup...
Cupramine IS effective against velvet. If the spots don't have a yellowish or gold hue, then it's most likely ich. The fish has not been at a full...
Welcome. I'm a MARS member also, although WRS people are closer to me. Went to the last two MARS swaps.
The red algae looks like it's barely hanging on. Have you done any water changes out of the norm during the Algaefix dosing?
That article grossly oversimplifies the process without going into a lot of detail. Nice in theory.
