+1 on Crimson ghost. Also, you didn't mention carbon. This is very important as it can remove organics. Siphoning is also important. And you may...
What are your parameters? Phosphate and nitrate could be issues. Also, mine prefers some flow. Also, water changes seem to be important. The...
Just always liked fish, the ocean and biology. In college, I was away from the ocean for the first time and I guess I missed it. Went out and...
Your welcome :) I like toys too and wish they did more as well BTW ;) You'll probably find more uses for at as your system expands though.
Yeah I think it will have to be independently. Although, I think that's fine if you want random flow since if it's coordinated, it isn't really very...
I am not sure what you are trying to do? The MP40 has it's own controller, so, there is really no need to use the RKL to control it. The options...
Sounds like too many mad scientists in this hobby. ;) that said though, those things are evil, kind of like it :lol:
I transferred my old 75g recently to a relative. Shortly after I came to find there were aptaisia everywhere. I mean every square inch of rock had...
Yes, this is the most common scenario. Gases typically diffuse into the sand bed faster than organics, so, usually there are more gases than...
I meant I was guessing you were using a hydrometer, as they are not accurate :) Or you are supplementing calcium and alkalinity. All salt mixes...
Your s.g. is low for a reef, PO4, ca and alk are high. I don't know if I trust your numbers though. What kind of salt are you using? I don't...
I'm not a huge fan of DSBs in the main display either. They can be very helpful and can add a lot of diverse fauna. However, I always worry...
Ah yes, so my corals will sleep better tonight, pods not so much LOL.. Thanks, m
Thanks Cheryl. I know they can be iffy... I'll keep my fingers crossed. I think the good news is the predators have fairly specific diets....
Found this snail moving across my substrate. I didn't add him, but looks sort of like cowrie maybe? I'm never that great at ids so I thought I'd...
I agree, what's it like $28 for a 20g if it's not on sale? how much is the fish? CBs have a very poor survival rate to begin with, if your going...
I use at least 3 on the list from time to time... Not sure which one to vote for. I guess whichever is on sale...
I don't have an issue with that even with some of the more sensitive SPS corals. Corals are just much more tolerant of environmental change IME.
I don't know what is in the Red Sea salt. GFO will reduce silica though once phosphate is low enough. For what it's worth though, I dose silica...
Good to know :thumb_up:
