I have a seriously bulky hood, and I don't mind it at all. I can't imagine going open top, though, with the salt creep and everything.
Probably much longer than that. Point is, there's a chance in that 120 gallon tank that an orange may be ok. The LPS tank at this fish store is...
I heard from my LFS owner that he's had orange linckias survive in the tank (he keeps starfish in the LPS tank) for upwards of a year and a half, but...
Stomatella snails (stomatella is a genus) have the species name "varia" because of the multitude of colors they can be.
Not talking about adding mag crystals (Magnesium sulfate or Magnesium chloride), but calcium carbonate (limestone, CC, whatever you want to call it)...
Well, I don't see a reason to do LR either. You're going to get a small bit of denitrification from LR, but I think chaeto all the way down is going...
I'll mention again that sand is only is a normal refugium as a method of denitrification, in a DSB configuration (5+ inches deep). You don't have...
Well, they haven't tried using limestone from specific deposits known to contain high magnesium levels.
Low-ish nutrients to near-0 nutrients, depending on the coral. YOUR OWN test kits for phosphates, nitrates, magnesium, calcium and alkalinity....
I was wondering, what do you guys use to store spare RODI water, and what you use for an ATO reserve? I found a Tsunami AT-1 laying around, but I...
We can't even see the side walls of the tank. It could be a 50 foot long as far as I can tell.
Well, possibly. CC can have a high enough concentration to mag to maintain it, but that's relatively unlikely. It will maintain alk and calcium,...
Well, it's an unusual selection, that's for sure. The damsels aren't exactly needed in there lol. It's not unusual to have fish in the coral tank,...
Me either. My LFS has a couple fish in the coral show tanks, but won't sell them. I really wanted the ultra-awesome melanurus wrasse they had in the...
I doubt your LPS would have problems with moderately high phosphate levels, but I can guarantee they're having problems with too much palytoxin in...
I'd rather blame it on the general confusion as of late on this forum on the difference between ' and ".
People use the Aquaclear filters since they have a larger than normal area to put algae in. I don't know if the Biowheel is as big.
Yes! Leave it to Japan to start serious R&D on these guys!
The biowheel doesn't have enough room for a fuge, I think.
Do you run carbon, and do you have zoas/chalices in the tank?
Separate names with a comma.
