Well, if the fuge is the sump (by the technical definition, of the "lowest container of water in an open loop system"), then that's where you get...
Yep. Plenty of times. It seems that hosting an anemone is at least partially a learned behavior.
Well, the additional surface area is going to add to evaporation, and so is the heat. But, is this fuge a Aquaclear type, or a fuge that uses your...
You could pour it into the sump, since it's not going to hit the corals directly. However, I like to drip all my supplements, that way you don't get...
Yes, although bioballs will catch gunk, requiring maintenance. Also, it doesn't develop anaerobic areas like real live rock does, so you're stuck...
Nope, you can't use formalin or hyposalinity either. You literally have no treatment options. Yep, and that it's actually harmful to have them go...
Well, corals basically touch something with a sweeper tentacle, then make a whole bunch of tiny "strings" that attach them to the second coral. Those...
I have a 16x16 acrylic cube for my fuge from GC, and it worked out well. The acrylic has a small amount of bubbling at the first 1/16th inch in from...
Ever seen how a coral puts out minestral filaments when it's eating another nearby coral?
They eat planktonic algae in the tank, acting somewhat like a protein skimmer. This one isn't big enough, at all, to be a significant difference in...
Oh no no no. You want a lower temperature. When you have no medication in the tank, and you're not running hyposalinity, raising the temperature...
Guh, "1 pair orange clowns". 16.
Then it's pretty well definitely a sponge.
I'm counting 15.
I'd say it's a sponge. What kind of feel does it have to it? Squishy at all?
If you have a hole drilled in the tank, just use it. Don't bother going with an overflow box at that point.
So, you had the LFS do the testing? Likely via a dip strip?
You can post a photo here. Go to the quick post box at the bottom, hit "Go Advanced", then hit the paperclip. Upload it there, hit the arrow next to...
Bah, missed the giant ICH in your paragraph. You should turn down the temperature to combat it.
Possibly. Also, raising the temperature will cause both corals and algae to grow faster.
