:laugh4: Congrats on the new tank!!
You can get a Reef Angel controller for just a little more than the Tunze, and it comes with ATO built in (just need to buy the Aqualifter pump)....
Well, to further complicate things, how is the QT setup? Just a barebottom tank with heater and filter? I am asking, as I personally would not use...
:-/ Without knowing how the water was stored, or its source in the first place, I would not just say it is fine to use. Was it kept air tight the...
Mine does it after 10 minutes :cheesy: Since I use a Toms Aqualifter, it would only pump a max of just over 1/2 gallon before it times out. I use my...
As far as I know, you should never have any measurable nitrites in an established tank. So that would be a waste IMO. Almost any of the controllers...
That's a good choice IMO. Just try and keep the rockwork against the back wall to maximize swimming space. I am sure it will use every inch of the 6'...
You should only QT one fish at a time, unless they are a mated pair that came from the same tank IMO. That tank is definitely too small for 3 fish...
Correct, which is why I witnessed my Tiger Wardi eating pellets before I brought him home from the LFS. He sifts sand all day, but still is a pig at...
I think on my 55 just the bottom is tempered, and my 46 all panels are tempered. But I could have this backwards! This is indicated by a sticker on...
Yes, BSJ do need a good sized sand bed. 4" minimum. Mine has rearranged every bit of sand in the tank. Everything I put in the tank is his and treats...
Snails like Nerites are tidal snails IIRC. They usually like to be out of the water during the day, and in the water cruising the tank at night.
I could be way off, but I believe most can get quite large, up to 6-8" across! My LFS has some that are about this big.
Any thoughts on why your pH is on the lower side? Have you made sure it is not an oxygen issue? What do you have for substrate and rock? Lighting...
You can put it under an overhang to give it indirect light. I tried to google your lighting; seems to be on the weaker side anyways, no? Otherwise,...
Welcome to 3reef, and congrats on the twins!! I started up my first two reef tanks the week after my first daughter was born :) My daily fish time is...
Besides the exposed skeleton in the back, it looks like it is acclimating. I am thinking leave it alone for now. Try and feed it some Mysis or...
Drs. Foster & Smith, Marine Depot, That Pet Place as well. There is usually a group buy every month or so through Bulk Reef Supply on 3reef. That...
This is a Long Tentacle (Heliofungia) correct? Care should be the same either way. The only problems I see off the bat are the substrate (should be...
Also, the setup (overflow, piping and pump) may be oversized for the 46. What pump is it, and how many feet of head will it need to pump against?
