Just wanted to point out there is a wide range of acceptable Mg, Ca, and Alk numbers. There is no such thing as one set of values that is best for...
I would say a good 50% of the shrimp I got molted within a week... then died within another three... I gave up on shrimp :-/ I can't figure out...
check your Mg. this helps stabilize Ca and Alk. If your Mg is off, you will have a hard time keeping your others on. I use the Salifert Mg test....
I would bet that the majority of failures were impulse buys by folks that did not research or monitor a horse at the LFS for a span of time before...
I have to agree... my recommendation, you don't have to respond to every post in this thread ;)
I think if anyone actually reads the whole thread they'll get the point that in most of our minds this probably won't work and is more of an...
I wouldn't worry about the chaeto hitchhikers. I've read clear tanks don't work well for pod farms... but no idea why that is... i happen to be...
I've tried 2 local LFS for bloodworms! I can't find them without having to pay shipping :-/ I want to try that though. I hope to work on getting...
this OP has promised to update us if they live or die (promises promises)... I'm hoping he'll be posting in this thread for quite a while... fingers...

You can move it directly over; LR, corals, fish, all that. Use fresh sand (don't reuse sand) and reuse your water (you'll have to make some more for...
it's totally on a sliding scale depending on how wet you skim... i.e. how high your cup is. you should be able to adjust that however you want...
i have the octopus 100F. It's noisy. Tends to over flow when you power it back on or if there's a power outage. It needs the cup manually removed...
Hope you don't mind Jason, thought that needed repeating... lots of folks have made comment on this thread that a 2 part autodose requires constant...
this is why I say a good mix of snails is important. If you have the right snails, it's the crabs that can't reach the deeper crevices. It's...
I feed my fish specifically 2x a week. I feed my coral 2x a week (and when the coral eats, the fish get some. Otherwise they live off the rock....
First, I highly recommend following reefcleaners.org suggestions. I think having mostly snails is better than mostly crabs. Crabs are limited in...
nice video! really looks nice
+1 My clowns took a couple of months to settle down. This is fairly typical. They'll calm down eventually.
