Pods are EXPENSIVE to supplement. Like, $8 a bag type prices....
Agreed. They need to be fed a lot if they only have frozen/pellet food, as they have a very fast metabolism.
From the other thread you started, asking the same exact thing: "Open up the top and get some air in the tank. It's likely a lack of oxygen from a...
You can just cure the DIY rock in a bucket of water, and change to new RO water daily until the pH is stable in the bucket.
Nonononono lol. It'll decimate a population of pods in a tank that size within days, regardless as to how many there are. It won't be able to...
No, you won't have the pod population for it to survive long enough to get it eating the normal foods you'd need to keep it on in a tank that size. I...
Open up the top and get some air in the tank. It's likely a lack of oxygen from a lack of air exchange. Check in a couple hours. If the pH goes up,...
+1, good explanation. Except I would use it in a livebearer tank, or with fish specifically chosen from those same slightly salty environments,...
What kind of rock is it? DIY? Was it set up as a tank before? Is there enough airflow over the surface of the water?
I got one that DOES eat stuff other than pods, it was trained already. Whippy was tearing down her tank in prep for moving a couple times, so I...
Why not just cover it up with some decorative rock or carefully placed fast-growing softies...?
You didn't mention the name of the other store, and I understand why, but what's the name of this store? Do they have a website?
Yes, although i just got a mandarin that's already eating, so I don't need a ORA mandarin anymore lol.
Don't get a single piece of live rock from him. Trust me on that. I personally wouldn't even go back to him for dead rock because of him telling me...
any coral has the potential to grow without light as long as it gets lots of food. indirect lighting may have helped too.
In a RSM250, you can do pretty much everything except SPS. The only thing you'd need to do for SPS is upgrade the amount of flow (Change the returns...
Full of LPS (no SPS, no softies), a banggai cardinal, a hi fin red banded goby, and getting a mandarin today. You can check out my sig for a list of...
You need airflow over the surface of the water, or your pH will always be low.
Like I said, the duster was missing most of its feathers, and the few that were left were damaged. Maybe the moving and systematic killing had two...
Leptoria, Platygyra, Diploria....I'd say Platygyra. In any case, it is a brain coral, from the family Faviidae.
