well, I just set up a sump and filled it with freshly made salt water. Didn't make sure it had the same parameters as the main tank so I pumped 15...
i wouldn't put it in your fuge. I will just spread to the rest of your tank through the return. Unlike other macro algae, it's not a true algae and...
personally, I don't like those calculators, they can be a good guide line, but don't take into account many factors. You may want to get some more...
well, here's an update. Right now everything is settling down, the 'storm' is over, not Im just counting casualties. Good news is that my 6 line came...
they actually require moderate lighting, so with metal halides, keep them low. Also moderate current and as james said, feed them to make them grow...
well, the fish ate a little bit better than yesterday. Shrimp still eating. Some of the zoas are out now. (don't want to get too optimistic). I just...
I have the reactor on the sump still, but I have my old HOB filter with carbon in the pouches running on the tank. I actually ran both all yesterday...
I know. No matter what I do, bad things could happen. If I don't do anything everything could eventually die. If I do do something, such as a water...
I added the buffer after I tested the ph. Here's the time line. I finished plumbing the sump and turned it on. Immediately the water became slightly...
that's a good idea
I waited about 20-30min for the glue to dry, but that may not have been long enough. I fully agree I did something stupid and should have known...
I hope so, but I am going to take some precautions. I woke up to my trumpet's tissue receding, or falling off. My clam isn't looking too good, the...
I do know I need to get the Ca up. I also read that pvc glue can be used almost immediately. Not sure what happened, Im thinking it was just a shock...
that's what Im hoping for. They everything just seems stressed out. I was real stupid not to think to mix the water with my DT first. The dust was on...
it's really hard to say where to put it. It depends on your flow pattern which depends on where your rocks are. I like to have at least one power...
I just started up my sump today. I had all new fresh salt water in my 20 gallon long, about 13 gallons with baffles. I started the pump and my DT...
a pic would be great. It sounds like diatoms or cyno. How old is the tank? New tanks almost always go through an algae phase.
as for the chalice, it's again nearly impossible to determine a certain species. There are some common names that stores and hobbyists use to...
do you have any soft corals near it or up current from it? my frogspawn started to not look so hot, so I moved it away from my leather and it looks...
I know that, my point was that it may not matter the arrangment. To get the color you want you may need to change the bulbs to a different...
