I would still do a sump/refugium. You can easily make one with a 30-40g tank. The initial cost will be higher in the long run but the benefits will...
How much your skimmer pulls out daily is also a function of the bio load in the tank as much as its efficiency!
I have a Remora and a Remora Pro. They tend to produce a wetter skimmate. There tends to be a belief that a dry skimmate is better but this is not...
My LFS just got some of those tangs in last week. They look very nice.
You need to stabilize your temp. Large swings in water temp are very stressful on fish. The oceans they live in have very constant water temps and...
skimmer Get a Remora skimmer. They are set and forget except for cleaning. They will make bubbles in your tank until it breaks in after 2-3 weeks....
looks like your tank is cycling, just give it some more time.
Very interesting design. You wont need that if you do make a sump out of your 30g tank. You wont need the biologic filtration. I guess you could...
How far away is that from St. Paul MN?
It sounds like ich. Ich will come and go on your fish until the fish get stressed or you add another fish to the tank and then it may strike in full...
Do a fresh water dip on the fish immediately and then place in the QT. I've recently fought and won the battle with ich. Take some fresh water and...
I've used several different brands of salt over the years and have not seen much difference in my corals. I'd like to hear what others have...
You have many options but my advice would be to make a sump/refugium out of your 30g tank and buy a couple of power heads for the 40g tank for a flow...
I use reef crystals for my reef tank and oceanic for my FOWLR
I'd be wary of putting 2 dwarf angels in that size tank. They may not get along. I also agree that is too many fish for that size tank even for a...
What were your testing methods to validate this cycle?
You could use a filter sock at the end of the line in the refuge. You have to keep them clean though. You can also build a bubble trap in your...
Beautiful tank. Karma for sharing it with us.
Beautiful fish! I've always liked the midas blenny. I like they way they swim.
I use the Formula brand and Marine Bio Blend pellets and spirulina flakes. I also use Hikari freeze dried brine shrimp because its the only dry food...
