One is a display that somewhat mimics an area/type of reef not normally done in a display tank, while the other is a giant frag rack on top of sand.
Yeah, but then you're not really doing a reef so much as a frag tank...
Fish won't like it psychologically. They'll have no place to hide, and they really don't like having nowhere to rest from the currents.
As long as you give the live rock its time to cure, then yeah, it'll work, but I personally don't see the point.
Well, you could throw in dead jumbo shrimp, and you'd have some bacteria ready for the rock, but the rock would still need to cure for a while.
You'd be kinda limited in corals, to the stuff that lives directly on the sand like trachys and the massive-skeletoned stuff, like acans and brains.
I'm gonna feed them to my shrimp; they eat nearly anything that's already dead.
Yeah, but you wouldn't want to keep anything in the tank. The rock may still need to cure too, which would put you back a lil while.
The overflow should be fed by the return. That is, when the return pump is stopped, a small amount should drain through the overflow, then the system...
lol...
Shrimp will eat nearly anything that's dead.
Please, use punctuation, if you're not going to use effective grammar.
Nobody wants whelks lol. They eat bivalves. Pretty much exclusively. The only more-humane use of them than food is.....as bait for polyclad...
Sorry about the incident. But, could a funnier obituary exist?
I'd imagine you could do acroporas sooner; you still want it to be in the range of multiple months though.
I would go 4-bulb, so you have extra sockets to play with blues/420nms/fiji purple types. 2-bulb might only let you get enough light for the...
Check out this link on 'nems too. Take special note of number 9.
Ah, gonna go link this one for a dude who apparently decided to 'nem up his 24-hour-old setup....
What's the humane way to kill snails? I'm going to kill these whelks that decided to munch on my derasa, and use them as food.
Hell yes it does. I'm going to take those bastards out of the tank as they get on the clam, so I don't have to worry about them anymore.
