No. The two survivors were a hi fin red banded goby and a banggai cardinal. Among the dead, from the ich: 2 cleaner gobies, 1 occ clown, 1 rainford...
The nitrates and phosphates aren't in the water, so you can't read them with a test. They're being used up by the algae.
Adding/clarifying: 1) Ich has to be present, but stress can make it worse by making the fish more susceptible. If you QT every fish and kill every...
Some LEDs are really good (up there with T5), and some are really worse than PCs. It depends on what kind.
Dance-off.
That's not really free. You have the refrigerator doing the cooling instead of a chiller; it's likely using a bit less power due to the efficiency of...
You could always get a new wheel if it turns out to be pumping out nitrates.
LMAO. I used to have ferrets, and they were definitely a trip.
Yes. It's also true that a proper 2-month QT would have let me recognize and treat the issue before it got to the point of crashing the fish portion...
You were lucky. I had 6 fish in the tank, got a Kole Tang as my last addition, it brought in ich, infected every fish, and they all died except for 2.
I wouldn't use RO discharge for curing anything. If your tap water has nitrates/phosphates/copper/any number of other bad stuff, it'll leech into the...
Front to back: 454, 454, RSM Actinic, Actinic White, Aquablue, 454. That means I should see a tank full of fluorescent blue lol.
You can get hitchhikers if you don't QT. You can kill off algae if your light isn't right on the QT. You really need to weigh it for yourself when it...
I have quite a few of the micros, I don't have any minis, but I have a dwarf and a Hawaiian. I also have some that are in the back-sump that I'm not...
The ones that live in the rock are a different species than the species that live in their own big tube.
I mean, I'm assuming, possibly wrongly, that the fish would be more conductive than the water. If so, since there's still electrons whizzing through...
I imagine as long as you don't use one of those blue disc things, you'd be fine.
There's quite a few LPS that have higher light requirements than most SPS (Faviids come to mind as a particular example), and a few LPS that need...
Just put the grounding probe in a spot where it can't be reached by your fish, like in the sump. That way, the current won't even be moving through...
Thanks! Took a bit to get right, what with all the bulb-switching ;D
