Not having a skimmer for 3-4 weeks shouldn't be a problem, it's really more of a long-term benefit to have one running.
Basically, keep your water parameters pretty good (0 Ammonia, 0 nitrites, <10 nitrates), and keep your calcium and alkalinity up, and you should be...
Hrm, I would think the best option would probably be to have the bottom end just above the water, and a sponge half in/half out of the water, if you...
I would definitely run multiple heaters if I were you. Our house stays around 65, but the tank stays at ~77 because of 2 100 watt and 1 300 watt...
Rubbermaid is a better option for a tank than GC IMO. ;D
The drain going to the fuge side has the tube going fully submerged, right? Otherwise, the solution should be to put a piece of tube on the end to...
Youch, the LFS must be charging you $$$$$ extra for the fish if they throw that (and likely other stuff) in for ya every time.
Grats man!
Swing arms are notoriously inaccurate. They're rated for a large range of temperatures (typically something like 65 degrees to 85 degrees farenheit),...
I seriously doubt your kH is 240.
Hole in head/lateral line disease?
Ah, yeah, about that. I just said that considering my tank setup instead of the norm. I don't have a sump, just a compartment in the back where the...
That doesn't mean they're not eating. The fact that phyto can be created in a DT/fuge/sump is enough to sustain clams. It's just that you can't...
It should catch the vapors in sufficient quantity to keep them from getting into the air in contact with the tank.
Beyond the phyto/zooplankton issue, I'm just going to point out that the skimmer should be off during feedings of any plankton.
There are people that claim the same thing about all sorts of corals, so I would take the "no-feed" advice with a grain of salt.
Hunting maybe? I imagine they hunt at night. Someone more qualified might have a better answer, though.
I really like the rockwork, it looks good! I'm just going to point out that the deco is gonna end up covered in all manner of stuff and you won't be...
lmao k+
For salinity, you don't want to use a swing arm one, they're way innaccurate. I had one that read 1.026 on my tank. Get at least an electronic one,...
