That's one of the coolest tanks I've ever seen. I would hire someone to clean that thing though, it looks like a many-houred project just to do...
Hey crank, I was wondering if the RA can store values for pH/temp at intervals, say every hour or so, then upload that info when it's connected to...
It's quite a bit of flow lol. 40x turnover from one source. I'd say a better bet would be 2 powerheads in the 400 gph range.
I would say it's fairly likely a reproduction method. They're an echinoderm, like sea stars, which also split to reproduce.
There's another type of worm that eats snails. [media]
I guess we never see them because they take so long to respond?
It probably wouldn't be ok for the long haul, but it could definitely be there for a while if you get it small. Did they seriously ban you for that?
You don't need bioballs if you have LR. The point of bioballs is to provide surface area for bacteria to colonize, which live rock provides just as...
Cleaners, whether shrimp, wrasses or gobies, cannot eat ich off of your fish. Ich buries into your fish; it doesn't hang off of them like most other...
Could it have been pyramellid snails on the clam? Also, I wouldn't worry too much about the favia and frogspawn. Unless there's physical damage,...
I'm pretty sure AZDR and I went over why Spectrapure is the best deal already.
Not if it's the only compartment. You can hang your current HOB skimmer on the return section too, so you can keep it and have the extra space in...
As long as the overflow pipe is big enough, I wouldn't worry about the reduction in flow from the return. Overflows pretty much can't have too little...
Hermits will kill anything that has a shell they want. They'll also kill anything they find as delicious as people find chicken.
I would call that pretty normal for such a new tank. It looks like cyano or diatoms, but I can't really tell for sure since it's such a thin layer....
Tangs and surgeonfish are synonymous. The surgeonfish name is from the very sharp spine they have at the base of their tail.
...?
Yes, except the calcium and alkalinity bind together into calcium carbonate, and won't dissolve completely anymore. They turn into sand. There's a...
I would test every single batch of water you make up for alk, cal and mag. They say to add salt to water (and not water to salt) for the simple fact...
I got it from Dingo, on the forums here. There's a few other people who offer up chaeto occasionally, too. EDIT: Yeah, I forgot, the mangroves were...
