I've always heard corals need at least 1.023 to really do well.....
Yeah, I just said it because of the bubbles that "travel up" it. I can use a turkey baster and blow on that stuff, and it'll blow off the bubbles,...
Grats on the tang! I have no idea, but that's a really nice picture too!
"A little dirty" usually means under 10 nitrates, 0 nitrites, 0 ammonia, <=0.1 phosphates, calcium > = 400, alkalinity > = 2.6meq, magnesium > =...
Does anyone know how to make the pictures show up in that "photo gallery" type thing? I keep posting stuff with full-size pictures, and I imagine...
Yeah, there's really two schools of thought in this; you can invest heavily and early and make a total ecosystem, or lightly over time and make it...
Ninjas need something their hooks can grab into also ;D Oh, I forgot in the first post: that green algae on the back is nearly as hard to scrape as...
Ok, so, I'm fairly sure my goniastrea has some dinos on it, especially because of the description I've heard of those bubbles traveling up the...
Has anyone ever seen a hermit crab with a specialization in Ninja :P? [IMG] [IMG] I found him like this about 2 days ago, but didn't get a picture,...
.....did you just cuss out Gexx then thank him for his help, or am I missing a post that was deleted.....?
You imply it. Fish that are caught on the reef are used to lightning; unless the flash duration is too long for them to recognize as such, there's no...
Lots of filter feeders eat particulate organics.
Heh, if it were 180, he'd be even more likely to be posting about algae problems. Macros don't live with nitrates that high, and neither do...
What do you mean, "for something you didn't need to check in the first place"? If you want to keep anything living in your tank, you need to check...
Well, the dip sticks aren't really accurate, at all, so I'd shy away from them. May as well get used to a more accurate method while you don't have...
They have a digital monitor for nitrates. They also have photometers.
I'm fairly sure it does thunderstorm out on reefs at least occasionally; lots of high-humidity air there, and colder less humid air should get there...
If you're doing 10%, you should be able to do it every other week if it keeps your nitrates down. I mean, that's really the big criteria; are your...
LOL @ that. Strontium tests are seriously expensive ($40+ at F&S, more than a master kit), contain fairly dangerous chemicals compared to the ones in...
Fish get bigger as they get older. Especially catfish of the iridescent shark type body plan (the big mouthed ones). I mean, we're talking about a...
Separate names with a comma.
