Just spent the last 3-1/2 hours reading all 29 pages. lol Wonderful thread, lots of great info, and an absolutely stunning aquarium. Thank you for...
I agree that LR is much better for the bio-filter, and I wouldn't have a tank without it; however, not everyone uses LR... like in FO tanks (as...
I agree that's always possible; that's why I recommended that the OP test it in a bucket if he was uncertain. :)
+1 Reality is that the bio-film does develop on everything in the tank, be it granite, marble, calcium carbonate, glass, or plastic.
Agreed. In fact, whether you bought the rock or dug it up out of your back yard, it can be tested if you're uncertain. Place it in a bucket of tank...
Excellent article, Mike... should be made a sticky. Great pics, too BTW. :)
FTR, it's a recently cycled 75g w/20g sump. :) http://www.3reef.com/forums/new-hobby/new-setup-high-nitrate-levels-111525.html#post1154226...
With the drip you're referring to, as opposed to spraying, salt creep should be minimal and restricted to the tank frame, if there's any at all....
I hate when that happens... :furious3:
How long have you had the shrimp? I only had 2 aptasia and 1 majano (that I could see, at least), added 3 peppermint shrimp. Took a couple weeks for...
My only thought is that you want to be cautious which 1-foot fish you mix with the rest. Make sure they have a small mouth, like Tangs or...
+1 A friend of mine has a Regal, Yellow. Sailfin, and Naso in the same tank with no problems at all. Most online suppliers list the Powder Blue as...
That's gonna be hard to determine at this point. Your best bet is to stop overfeeding and test the ammonia daily to see if it's going up or down.
Providing there is no (or minimal) die-off, the tank would then be seeded by the LR rather than cycled. Gives the same results but can be done in...
A lot of people make that mistake. :) My personal choice is Kent Marine Reef Carbon.
Yes, it helps to strain frozen food and rinse in RO/DI water. That will reduce the nitrates and phosphates you're putting into your tank. You should...
There are quite a few reef-safe wrasses to choose from. Only you can say what will look good in your tank. Check out the selection below. :) Wrasse...
Wow, that's cool! Definitely different.
Sharks, Rays, Morays, and giant Hermits. :D
The T/S 1000 and the C=64. Later got a 5.25 inch floppy drive for the C=64. Games and software only took 20 minutes then. lol
