Usually bigger is better. I would think 20g would be a good size for a 55g tank. That gives you plenty of room for overflow, and a decent sized fuge....
HOB skimmer wouldn't be extra work over an in sump skimmer, but it would look bad. They stick up over the edge of the tank, and the cup of a skimmer...
Well, if you're looking for corals that tolerate nitrates, I would consider soft corals. I would consider other softies like mushrooms and...
You'll need a protein skimmer, if you want this to be low maintenance. You don't really need a biowheel or canister filter. I'll come back to this...
Both would eat nearly any macroalgae, which he doesn't want to be eaten. That requirement kinda has me stumped.
Sweetness. What's the bar/strip light? It looks like cold cathode?
It looks like it's probably a sponge to me, too.
So, the bulkhead already doesn't smell like vinegar anymore. Isn't that supposed to be a decent indicator of silicone being dry? I'll leave it until...
Iceburg lettuce is bad for humans, let alone fish. The stuff is mostly water, and has hardly any nutrients. That's why it has nearly no color. Fish...
I think he was asking because there's also pendants.
Yeah, I don't think I have the time to wait for vulcanization though. The thing wasn't dry (kept leaking), so it wouldn't have happened on its own...
Ah dang, I already have the thing sealed up with silicone. Lots of it. Would this be a long term problem, that it would cause the gasket to slip?
What kind of clowns are these? Occelaris?
From what I understand: "90 Gallon, 48 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 25 3/8" "The area that the aquarium will be sitting on measures 48 ¾” long x 18 ¾” wide."
Alright, so I dried out the bulkhead, cleaned it, put a whole bunch of the silicone onto the threads and into the gap between the threads and hole in...
Dinner. They're the hitmen of the crustacean world.
Wow, that looks great. The color on your rocks is astounding, and those zoa colonies are gigantic lol
You'll have booms and busts in the populations of nearly everything in your tank, including algae, pods, bristleworms, and literally everything else...
I don't even clip a sheet into the tank. I hold a piece about 2" x 2" in for 30 secs to let it hydrate, then I rub it between my fingers to rip it...
