Never know, but probably not, nudies are very specific predators. From what I understand, you may even need to know the specific species of hydroid...
Wow, that's aweful. I've owned a lot of shrimp, peppermints and otherwise and have never seen one go after a healthy coral. Certainly steal food...
I agree, especially as I can't positively identify ich from your picture. White spots are not always ich. If it is a prominent raised bump that is...
For me, there is no consideration whatsoever as to whether or not to run GAC. I do so 24x7 and can always tell, by looking at my corals when it is...
I think Fishyfinder used them with success, not sure where he got them though. Maybe he will chime in?
No big deal. Actually, last time I did this, it arrived at 10am anyway... Normally when I do the 12pm delivery it gets to me exactley at noon...
Carbon has to contain phosphorous as it's manufactured from organic material. The problem is people do a test by putting some carbon in a small...
Carbon dosing can definitely reduce nutrients to the point macro algae won't grow. It depends how aggressive you are though and how high your...
Wow, so sorry to hear that. Glad to hear the damage was limited and everyone is alright!
Man that's awesome. I so wish I could get paid to work on cars all day ;D
You should probably get pH, ammonia, nitrate, KH and calcium at a minimum. The API kits probably average aout $8 each online. I've found that These...
Sweet, there's some crazy detail work on that car. Sound system and electronics you did look and sound pretty bad azz as well ;)
Some people claim vinegar is less likely to drive cyano. I certainly couldn't say for sure. I've just started adding vinegar to my kalkwasser to...
I haven't seen any of the negative issues either :lol: They are reported a fair amount though. Some do have to do with dosing incorrectly, others...
Granular Feric Oxide. It is basically granular iron rust, but absorbs phosphate very effectively. It can be found under the name Phospban or...
That was the theory, this isn't true however, as there are plenty of people now reporting overdoses with biopellets as well. IMHO, the problem with...
The dipsticks are useless. Definitely see if someone can test it for you in the meantime. It is very important, especially if keeping sensitive...
That's the theory. It is more effective for reducing nitrate though. GFO works better for phosphate IME. An overdose could cause a bacterial...
It sounds like you did this correctly. Assuming you repeated adding water to the bag. How many times did you do so? However, 300ppm alk is 16.8...
Any reasonably good quality carbon will only leach a minuscule amount. You will get more from feeding for example. So, I don't consider it a...
