This is a great week for my tanks! Got a bunch of updates!! Equipment: Got my Apex back today... programming is going well. I've got everything...
Yeah, I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that besides being "different" for novelty sakes.. there is good reason we all have a protien skimmer at...
Debateable.. but I don't think the downsides of aggressive skimming are worth worrying about. As long as you are feeding your system you won't strip...
Not yet.. My ankle getting destroyed has made any diy projects I had going come to a screeching stop... It's still going to happen. As soon as I...
+1 even with supplementing them with other foods chances are 10 to 1 you won't be able to keep him healthy. They feed constantly throughout the day...
He eats copepods and amphipods What size tank? How long established? How much live rock?
Are there any tests available to find the lvl of silicate in my system? As far as diatoms, just because there is silicate doesn't mean they will...

Got some great news!!! My mantis shrimp will be here Thursday! There was another customer who ordered before me and his is coming out of quarantine...
Last night was a sneak preview or some jazz.. The series premiere is friday night
What size tank? This same thing seems to happen to me with firefish..I have put a total of 6 in 210g... I have never seen one of them after the day...
Personally, I wouldn't spend 2k on a skimmer.. I would spread my filtration around for redundancy. If you find yourself needing a 2k skimmer.. Get 1...
I think the show presented them to be more pretentious than they were. I would hope they are more involved than it seemed.. but I guess how involved...
