I have always considered adding a float switch to shut off the return pump, in the event that a snail or something ever blocked my overflow. This...
From what I understand, you'll be waiting indefinitely for the IceCap. I would at least call aquacave and ask about it. When I looked into it, even...
Neat. From the sounds of it, it isn't uncommon for the dominant female to become more male, but not completely male. I haven't heard anything...
I'd say, mostly withing 2 years, and then maybe some more growth for a few more, but at a slower rate.
It's tough to rush a cycle. It's not that the bacteria dosn't grow fast, it's that the bacteria is somewhat sensitive to environmental variation and...
Cool, shaving brush is fairly easy as far as macro goes. Usually I see it in the sand bed. Also, you may want to look at Halimeda. The only thing...
Updates, three days latter. There is also a very bright flourescent blue line formed accross the top of his dorsal fin. I can't get it to show up in...
re: release phosphate and toxicity. Certainly is debatable, but there is some evidence that it can be. There is more evidence than just reports...
What type of planted reef do you want? generally speaking, there are usually three common classifications of macro-algae habitats, patch reefs,...
They don't move much, but they get pretty big. I probably wouldn't do it. Also, from what I understand, they don't always do great with tons of...
Wow, looks great, doing something right :)
In my 29g, I used GFO in a canister filter. A reactor would be slightly better. Just in a sock will be my last choice. As for #3, I won't use the...
Whenever you put a voltage meter in water you will get a reading. This is because of the ionic nature of saltwater and the ability of...
The thing is oils tend to break up the foam, so it dosn't produce as well. Most new skimmers sill have some oils from the manufacturing process....
Interesting, I've never seen a tank react like that, but Biocubes seem to have their quirks, so could idk. Otherwise, I think we are on the...
I am not really the best person to ask about biocubes. That was just an example, I would think you could, but I am not very familiar with the BCs....
Sorry pink4miss, meant Crimson Ghost, that's what I get for typing quickly as I'm trying to get out the door :lol: Shoebox, unfortunately I think...
here is one example, Phosphate binding to GFO (Rowaphos) is reversible - Reef Central Online Community He's also gone into detail about it leaching...
I have heard this this forum, however, Randy has stated a number of times that GFO can indeed leach phosphate back into the aquarium.
Yup, this can happen. I believe this is what's happening. Cyano is very effective at competing for any remaining phosphates. It can also fix...
