Takes me less than an hour to do 10% water changes on 4 tanks thanks to a Maxi-Jet pump. Siphon out water from tank one, empty, go to the basement...
I guess I am just confused why your calcium and alkalinity (carbonate hardness) are so high. I am guessing you are using the API Reef Master test...
I would be interested to see if anyone has ever had one before. I don't think they would make a good reef fish, since they eat small fish & shrimp....
+1 to Mr. Bill. You do not need to feed Xenia, and do not dose anything, including Iodine. Basically, I would just get it on its own rock so that you...
Yes. Although, to be safe see this link to confirm the sides are not: How to tell if glass is tempered.
Good to know. As mentioned, the only food mine has picked at are Spectrum pellets. I will look into the Reef Buffet though!
The sticker should specify whether it is just the bottom, or the whole tank. I have one tank that says "Bottom glass is tempered, do not drill" and...
Just about 2 weeks. However, this is not your typical QT. It is a 46 Bow, with live rock, 2" sandbed, skimmer, carbon reactor, 4 Koralia Evo's...
If you did, you could include a refugium with Chaeto, which would definitely help your pod production. Otherwise, do some research on the Mandarins...
Also, I could not find in this thread if you had a sump with a refugium. If you do not, I would say no to the Mandarin as well :( Even in a tank the...
If you do the Mandarin, then you can not have anything else in the tank that eats pods, such as wrasse or even a Flame Angel. So make sure you really...
Good that they are small, so hopefully that is what happens. However, I would wait at least 2 weeks (ideally more) before new additions. It gives...
Yes to wrasse, see my previous post :) The key is to either get fish with similar temperament (i.e. all semi-aggressive), or if not, add the most...
Out of those 3, the only one I can recommend is the Flame Angel for that size tank. Blue Hippo Tang is a big NO in a 55. Shame on your LFS for even...
They always have some it seems :) Off the top of my head, I know they have red. Excellent info though, thanks! I do shut off the powerheads...
I have not yet. There is/was some on the LR, I will have to see if there is still some or if it ate it all. Otherwise, I can try and grab a frag from...
Thanks man. This is my 3rd try with Flame Angels, so I really want to do the best I can with it. The first succumbed to Ich in the QT and never made...
I am not overly concerned yet, however I have a Flame Angel in my 46 gal QT tank (that has been setup for 7-8 months) that will barely touch any...
+1 to what Cosmo said!
Appears to work fine for me :confused: But you can just google: 53.0ms calibration fluid
