As mentioned, you sound like you are an awesome dad. Congrats on the good news!!
Cheryl, just keep in mind that the body of the 550 is almost twice as big as the 450. I would get 3 450s and see how you like the flow. They will...
Raise the salinity to where it should be, then recheck parameters. Only dose anything after your tank is "stable" and you have double checked your...
I would put money on it being from the new rock. The diatoms are consuming the silica from the new rock. Should go away on its own.
For right now, I suggest running the tank without one and see how the tank does. I do not run one on mine, and am very happy running it this way....
Is some of that rock new? It looks very white to be in a tank for 6 months...
You certainly can. I would try and hide it behind some rockwork (but still get light obviously).
I've done both! If you are able to mix saltwater outside the tank, then I prefer to add rock, then sand, then water. I aimed the water flow directly...
Congrats on the Midas Blenny! I just got one myself a couple weeks ago. He definitely had some kind of internal parasite when I got him. Dosed...
I am a big fan of Reefrocks.net for dry rock. But it is thought to be the same rock that Marcorocks & even BRS use. Any of those 3 will work. As far...
Most likely not, but it depends on how bright they are. The moonlights that came with my JBJ 28 nano (4 total, I think .5W LEDs) are a little too...
Yup, looks like a feather duster to me! I have tons of them in my tanks. Corals are looking good!
If you budget can afford it, one Vortech MP-10. Otherwise, a couple Hydor Koralias should work. In my 28 nano cube, I have (2) Koralia 450 nanos...
Congrats on the BSJ; they definitely are awesome fish! I am sure you know, but make sure to give him plenty of small rocks and shells to make his...
Just to make sure everyone that sees this thread understands, AFAIK, garlic/ginger will not prevent Ich from being in your tank, or even to "kill" it...
Sounds good, although as you suspected, I think it would be better to have both the fronts on at the same time, and the rears at the same time since...
It is because of the powerhead IMO. My "stalks" do not like direct flow on them. It looks like your new PH is very close to at least one of them,...
If you are doing a FOWLR, or even soft coral tank, I would just use Instant Ocean. If you are going to have a lot of LPS & SPS, move up to something...
I do 10 hours with both daylights and actinics, 2 additional hours (1 hour before and 1 after daylights) with just actinics. Seems to be working just...
Two of my tanks have small containers with float valves that are hooked up to the RO/DI. From there my ATO system pumps it into the tanks as needed....
