Hi, and Welcome. :) First, RO filtration alone doesn't remove nitrate, phosphate, or many other contaminants from your water. You should be using...
Larger tank with stand for less money... definitely the Red Sea.
I wouldn't recommend it. There's a lot of nutrients and other contaminants that only the DI resin can remove from tap water.
There's a major difference between using specially designed granules to absorb nutrients, and adding heavy metal compounds to your tank. Do you even...
It is pretty cool the way clowns change color as they mature and age. Here's some pics of Vinny's gold-bar maroon clown at age 21....
Ahh, just learned something new. I need to remember that for the next time the question is asked. :D
Open the original post in the editor, then select "Go Advanced" at the bottom of the window. That allows the title to be changed.
I respectfully disagree with your last statement. You don't want a biofilter in a QT or HT in the event you need to use meds to kill a parasite or...
+1 The Royal Gramma often gets confused with the Bicolor Dottyback- which is a Pseudochromis, not a Basslet- because of the similarity in their...
Agreed. One major problem I see with today's fuge is that it's becoming a second DT that has little to no benefit to the main tank. Just my two...
Same here... I see no difference. FWIW, the one thing I've always loathed about MS Works/Office is that it's programmed to make changes to other...
Y'all must have better eyes than mine. Of course at my age, that's always a possibility. :)
Very beautiful, indeed!
The green bubbles are bubble algae- need to get rid of that. The "red tree thing" appears to be some type of soft coral, perhaps a tree or colt.
Same here... I've not owned a single free-ranging crustacean that didn't become an opportunistic predator once it matured, including emerald crabs....
Beautiful tank! Love your scape and choice of corals. Excellent decision. :)
If it's a shallow bed, it will be fine. If you can leave it in the tank undisturbed, you can put your rock, water and livestock right back in.
Allowing the rock to dry for 20 minutes may have caused enough die-off to create an ammonia spike. If the nem is now eating, it's perfectly healthy...
Not sure about the water issue- do you have carbon in the canister, and how often do you clean/change the mechanical media (sponge, fiber, etc)?...
Absolutely. You can put as many varieties as you can find into your tank.
