LOL, that's awesome, glad he's okay!
Haha, that's a great idea. Know any glass blowers? :)
Congrats on the move :) Wisconsin is a great state I always enjoy visiting, good choice :thumb_up:
Great points Sacul1573. I've seen some dry rock so porous it almost floats LOL. I wish suppliers would emphasize volume more and weight less...
Interesting! IME usually it turns white and brittle and just falls apart. Can probably vary though.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah, manual removal, but try not to tear them. IIRC the fragments can grow into new ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry to hear that, as others have said, these things happen.... glad to hear everything else seems okay though :)
Agree, bad guy, need to remove.
Say what? Out for a little trolling? or perhaps English just isn't your primary language? Or just some kind of neural malfunction? :beer2: I'm...
Some corals would be ok with two, but your selection would be very limited. Some people may say you could keep "soft corals". However this is a...
Good find although it is sort of a colorer water algae. IIRC it tends to die off above 78 deg or so. Very cool looking though. Sent from my...
That's awesome. When I was younger, I always wanted to live on a boat (at least in the summer), but the difficulty of keeping a fish tank was always...
I think your tank is okay for the tang. It is a bit small, but certainly not the worst scenario I've seen. Sometimes tangs can get destructive in...
I think 4 would be the minimum on a 55g. Make sure to get a fixture with individual reflectors. It's all about focusing the light down, not out....
Most corals collected come from waters that average about 82-84 maybe a bit higher in the summer. We don't get many deep water specimens they are...
UV can't kill algae growing on rocks for example. It can only kill algae if it is free-floating. Some algae has a pelagic phase most don't. It may...
By the way, coverage area can be calculated as ((lens angle / 2) TAN * distance) * 2 You probably want to estimate this at midtank or higher. So,...
No, don't use anything less than 1W. 1W is really the minimum for a shallow tank. They are pretty weak though, your really better off with 3W CREE...
Be careful the lower watt leds as I understand may be ok for a shallow tank, but they may not have the penetrating power for a deeper tank, even if...
Great info on this thread! I would agree PAR is probably our best bet at the moment. And if you stick with fairly broad spectrum light, it is...
