Another for QT here! $35 for a complete 10 gal setup from Petco, Petsmart or even Walmart. Set it up and keep it running until you are done stocking...
Up your acclimation time. 30 minutes may not be long enough if the water between yours and the LFS is that different. I would say at least 2 hours to...
:thumb_up: to both of these! If you do get a check valve (and I recommend one), get a PVC ball check valve as they are compatible with saltwater....
Live rock will also cycle a tank. Not sure of your tank size though, so 5kg may not be enough. But as others said, don't use fish to cycle!
What size u-tube and drain line do you have for the overflow? (1) 1" u-tube should have no problem keeping up with that pump, but my guess is yours...
I have seen recommendations to treat all new clown fish with formalin, since so many clowns get Brooklynella . I don't know how the experienced...
The rule of thumb is 10 lbs per gallon when you consider substrate, rock, and equipment.
I completely understand where you are coming from. He asked for how he could do it, and I gave him the correct information on how he could, including...
The WM sold out right around then. I went to add one to my cart and by the time I did, they were gone. Still an unbelievable deal on the Koralia's...
Excellent info and thanks for the coupon code! Just bought a 750, 1050 and JBJ ATO for $122! As far as the clicking noise, I have 2 of my 750's on a...

I have about 30 egg "pouches" on my tank from my large nerites. I don't have any small nerites, so if I start seeing any, I will report back!
Possible, of course. Easy, maybe not. A couple of quick options that come to mind are drilling through both tanks so flow goes from the sump to the...
What kind of algae?
That still wouldn't help you during a power outage though. You would still need check valves on the pump discharge lines going back to the DT. Having...
A ball valve on one of the gravity lines to go to the sump with lower flow would take care of it. The water would go to the path of least resistance,...
My thoughts exactly! Here is a closeup of this exact sand: [IMG] You will see it comes with plenty of shells mixed in. And as mentioned, once the...
That may be a little too tight. I have an 8" high canopy on my 55 gal, and I mounted my LED lighting as high as I could. It's about 3" from the water...
As long as your return lines back to your tank are somewhat distributed, yes the water should mix plenty for you. Flow for each will be determined by...
