Oh ok, well you will be fine doing a bare bottom QT for any Goby except for the sand sifting (Valenciennea family). These need an established sandbed...
For the 55, if you have a sump, an Eshopps PSK-100 will work great. If you don't, go with the hang-on-back PSK-100H.
That's why the skimmer compartment in any sump should be baffled so that the water height stays the same. The only compartment that should see...
Nice! Looks just like mine did when I first got it. Just keep an eye on it as I found mine really did not like a lot of light. Even on the sandbed in...
For now, best thing to do is keep it on the frag plug and place it low in your tank, either in the sand bed or placed in a hole in live rock so that...
I would just add regular "dead" sand. But it really does need at least a 4" sandbed IMO. A warmer species may be more suitable as you mentioned...
Picasso or Snowflake Clownfish Pair Or a combination of two of the following: Carpenter's, Linespot or McCosker's Flasher Wrasse Red Velvet Fairy...
My BSJ dumps sand on my corals and rock anemone all the time. Although I am sure they don't look forward to it, none have seemed to have suffered....
Significant Other ;)
I could never get that skimmer to pull consistent skimmate in my 46BF. Replaced it with an Eshopps PSK-100H and am a million times happier with it!...
I think it has been proven that you can successfully keep SPS corals longterm under LED lighting. The technology is still changing for the better...
Gas exchange is only an issue if you don't plan for it ;) My 46 uses a sponge filter (which I do believe helps with gas exchange since it forces...
Awesome, can't wait to see pics of the new adds :) Too busy to make it yesterday unfortunately. I will definitely have to mark the calendar ahead of...
In my 55 I have 2 Koralia 1050s and 2 750s. One 1050 and 750 on each side of the tank. All are controlled by my Reef Angel, where both 1050s are on...
I am not familiar with the Nuvo tanks, nor their skimmer or reactor. However, you could always get an external reactor such as a Phosban 150. Run it...
Buy a 160 gal bucket of salt and use that to store a couple bags in. Or just a home depot 5 gal bucket and cover will work. Keep the others unopened...
Well more important than keeping than tank cool would be to keep the temperature stable. You don't want it swinging by a few degrees daily. But you...
What kind of goby and what kind of wrasse? And only QT one fish at a time IMO.
$85 is indeed a great price. Mine was $140 :-/ But well worth it since he was a very healthy and active fish!
Agreed on spacing new additions out by 1 month, but not on the 1 fish / 10 gal. You would not want 12 full sized tangs in a 125, but you could...
