Nope, you can put the rock in before you have an expensive light.
I run carbon. It keeps the water clear, and keeps chemicals out. GFO is granular ferric oxide, which absorbs phosphate. You run it in a reactor, so...
Carbon doesn't suck out calcium. What it does do is suck out quite a few chemicals that will hurt your corals and fish is left to accumulate, like...
You could hook then up with an ATO, but I'm guessing when they come around to check the dorms they're gonna notice and say something about the tank...
You need to get improved airflow to increase the pH at this point. CC and LR won't do it, at least until the pH gets lower than about 7.4; at that...
Usually, cleaner wrasses won't eat anything other than parasites. You might be able to get them to start eating foods, but that's fairly unlikely as...
8 hours per day for 8 years is 23,360 hours; less than half the MTBF. These things are seriously long term investments, but man, they pay off once...
For some reason, I can't ever read these words without it being in the professor's voice anymore.
I would think it's safe, but that it would get brittle under salty conditions fairly quickly.
Rubbing on the walls is a sign of a parasite. Petco tends to be utterly infested with everything imaginable near me; I doubt it's different anywhere...
Good thing the issue I raised wasn't with ammonia levels in your tank, otherwise you'd have a good point.
...wait, so you had ammonia issues within a week of getting the mandarin? Is this a brand new tank?? There's no way there's enough pods for this guy...
I would personally fill the tank up with that 60/40 vinegar mixture, let it sit a day, then rub anything left over with a paper towel.
TDS meters will pick up nearly anything at all that's in the water. I don't know if it's a good idea to just upgrade your unit. If your RO is of a...
Is this any different from their normal slime coating, or just thicker? BTW, does this mandarin eat any flake, frozen or pellet food?
Wow, it would suck being within 10 feet of that tank if the clam decided to close up.
He's sleeping. A mandarin shouldn't be in a 29g, though.
It's not insane. It has to do with the idea that any parasites on the fish will die off. It's a misconception that it kills ich (it'll kill any ich...
Depends on the kind of algae.
Those seem to be unions. You can do pipe to the slip x thread adapter to the thread x barb.
Separate names with a comma.
