What happens when a fan or AC is on? Seems like the mist wuld cause rust.
A simple larval trap will work well. Get a small filter bag or sock and a 2L, Airline Tubing, zipties and a simple LED and watch battery (radio...
Perhaps one of these? Only one since the flatworms are their only food source. Short Take: Chelidonura Varians: The Flatworm Eating Machine —...
Buy everything and set it up, ask questions on equipment. What size are you looking at?
No, you'll kill all of the good bacteria and coralline on your rock, and the pods for your mandarin. Try flatworm exit or a light trap.
Cut the bio-ball sump, get a refugium. What is the LED? You will want a VERY good skimmer, Reef Octo, SWC, ATB all good brands. You might want 80+...
Blastos, tongue coral, plate
The black thing in the center right? Sounds and looks like a sponge.
Thick drapery perhaps? Yeah, if you have the money to spend try a Vortech MP10ES. You can adjust flow and create a standing wave, or simulate real...
Its a 65. I'd add bar gobies, they tend to stay lower in the water column, but on second thought they dig and might compete with your shrimp. I don't...
I think a coris wrasse would do more damage, they are voracious eaters. How old is your tank? They eat copepods so your tank has to have been...
Don't lol. Anyway, get your tank out of direct light and get some artificial light on there!
How big is the tank? If its only 18" try a Sol Nano.
Degrees Kelvin. How you measure light temp. 6500K is very yellow, 10,000K is less and 20,000K (what most use) is bluish.
AI Sol has that, and they have the lightning with the LEDs from what I understood.
Natural light not only groes algae but may cause temp swings. And it gives your tank an ugly 6500K look.
Yeah, until it takes over your entire tank! Pumping Xenia is OK as long as you have it on its own rock, but regular stuff, JUST SAY NO.
Possibly the world's coolest ATO? It would equate to adding RO for evap I guess, probably a float switch that turns it on/off.
As for lighting 2 PAR (screw into a regular socket, google PAR38 ) type bulbs would be excellant. And you don't have to replace them, they last up to...
Usually you don't have too, but as a trear (once a week) just put a peice of mysis near its tentacles when they extend. It'll take care of the rest.
