Thanks AZ, I'll look into that. I looked around a bit and all I could find was a controller, or a tunze water level alarm. Both are kind of...
True, also, the Ecotech Vortech pumps do not have any electrical components in the water. So, this has to be electromagnetic induction....
Nice adds, definitely agree that the clam was a find :)
Don't know, but have you tried resetting it?
Most of the time, when my parameters are in check and an LPS coral isn't doing well, it's a placement issue. They can be very finicky about...
Wow, that was a beautiful tank Sadie. The second run is always better though ;) Keep us posted :)
SF420, said another way, light enables algae to utilize nutrients. Limiting light, limits nutrient utilization. This therefore limits the...
BTW, if that's the case, it seems like reducing the photo-period, rather than the light output may be better. I think this is because, if you reduce...
I'm not sure it's accurate to ever say lighting in the fuge is the "cause" of cyano in the display. Decaying organics and availible nutrients are...
OK, nutrient competition 101. 'Get rid or' is a relative term. You can certainly get rid of it to the point you would never know it's there. In...
It's pretty much impossible to completely eradicate cyano. It's in tap water, on your hands, on your corals and in your sand. In fact, there may...
Cyano spores are everywhere. It is in the display. It hasn't grown in the display because the it prefers the yellow light in the fuge, and the...
I'd agree with trijam. For the most part treat the tank like you normally would and don't add things until it has stabilized for a while. If you...
I don't know the history of this tank. Was it set up previously and then everything removed? I ask because it looks established. However, running...
Yup, looks like red coralline and cyano... Personally I wouldn't worry about it *too* much as long as it isn't in the display. This is typical in...
A derasa prefers to be on the sand. Why do you want a derasa specifically? Seems like they get pretty big for a 34g. Up to 24", but they also grow...
"then bought new "live" sand 45lbs of it." I assume this is the stuff in the sealed bag? Adding that "live-sand" to a running system will...
1 is OK, they tend to be aggressive though. People say with two, the aggression is too focused on the one weaker one. So, people recommend having...
The powder brown tang will likely be a disaster in a 60g. They are very active, can be quite aggressive and will try to defend a lot of territory....
For $15, go with the double. Redundancy is important with an ATO. Things go wrong sometimes, better to have the high level shutoff as well, just in...
