Our (afternoon) UPS never comes before 5, so I wouldn't worry. They even say they make take until 7 to deliver.
Corals, and especially anemones, are very sensitive to changes in water parameters. When your tank cycles, the chemicals will kill off the coral and...
Ah, ok. Just figured I'd explain that I'm using the proper technical term for it, rather than "salinity monitor".
....
.......here. Btw, if you want to know the principle behind those units, check this out. The Pinpoint Salinity meter measures in Siemens, from the...
Hopefully the rock is cured, otherwise he doesn't really need anything to cycle for a little while anyway.
I wouldn't worry about whether it's 1.020 or 1.025 at this point; most fish should be cool with anything in that range, if not much lower too. A...
I'm going to hope you only got 1 fish, and not 6.
I just went down, and saw my cleaner shrimp and 2 whelks picking on it. I pulled off the 2 whelks, scared away the cleaner shrimp......and the whole...
You can put them under a 10000 (yes, ten thousand) watt MH in a 20 long, if you hang it the light high enough. T5 gives better options for fixtures...
The more-shaded areas on the ends would be good for some chalices. There's a decent number that aren't high-light.
So, could it be the pods all over it? How about the GFO/Carbon not running for ~12 hours?
If you get too many aiptasia, or ever decide to convert it to a reef, you can always throw in some of the obligate aiptaisia-eating nudis. That's...
As long as there's no really tiny fish that would get badly injured or killed by the sting, I don't see a problem.
my chalices are all at the bottom of my tank, and are doing pretty well. I agree on going 4-bulb though; you'll want to be able to use the extra...
Alright, I picked it up, and there was no hole in the sand to indicate a bristleworm. I inspected the clam, and didn't see any pyramid snails. I did...
I don't see anything like that, but I do have bristleworms in the tank, so maybe they're on its foot under the sand? Where would pyramellid snails...
It's a Red Sea Max 250, currently with standard lights (117w of 10k, and 117w of the 460nm type actinics; it's in the first post). It's on a 3" sand...
Oh, go ahead. I tend not to mind people using pictures for educational purposes lol.
Yeah, I mean, the gap is like 1/4 of the entire mantle area....
