ATOs should be taken very seriously, they definitely will fail and if your in the hobby for a long time, more than once. I have a few layers of...
Look close, it's probably pod moltings. I've found they tend to settle in all sorts of places in the sump and once the pump comes back on, get...
Looking at the glass, at different angles with polarized sunglasses will show a colored pattern in tempered glass
It will make some noise as it's external. Shouldn't be too bad though. When I first got mine, I had my sump upstairs and couldn't hear it over the...
What was the problem with the rocks that you think you need to start over. It is probably never necessary to do so unless the tank was contaminated...
Why do you want him to eat the brine? Brine shrimp is like popcorn for fish, no real nutritional value.
Hey, good idea :) Actually though 0.003 for a hydrometer is pretty good IME :lol:
Good point, forgot to mention the sand. Also, it tends to be a nutrient sink over time, so it's a good chance to replace it regardless.

Neat, but I guess that means it will take a while for frags to grow out ;D
Awesome, good to know! Sweet :)
Yes! So true. You know, when the zeovit system, vodka dosing and other carbon dosing schemes started gaining popularity. Many people argued that...
My feeling is a fuge is important because of common issues regarding nutrient imbalance, export and food shortage. A fuge can be a good method for...
I actually have not run a "fuge" in a few years. I do have a sump for equipment, but with carbon dosing and other methods, my macro tends to die off...
I hear ya about annoying corals. Ramping up the GFO too quick can definitely do that. What do you do when it is not running though? I'm not sure...
