Nice design, but I have a small suggestion. When I built my sump, I did it so that the water from the intake is split into 2 tubes, each controlled...
Gresham, I appreciate your advice as you certainly know your own product. Can you please tell me, then, why am I not seeing anything in the water?...
If you can post a pic, that would be helpful. Sometimes clams have a "rip" in them that almost looks like it was cut with zig-zag scissors. This a...
So I am trying to culture copepods for feeding my mandarin, who is starting to look a little thin. I have a 10g tank with a sponge filter connected...
I had similar issues. It is a combination of heat generated from your pumps/powerheads and lighting. For example, I run 4 large powerheads and a...
Welcome! Nice choice of fish (although that foxface may grow a little large for your tank eventually). Be sure to post lots of pics of your tank!
Bubble corals - LPS, require moderate lighting and low-ish flow. If the flow is too strong, the bubbles won't expand. They can get by on light...
I have always read and been told that you should get un-equal sizes to avoid conflict.
I'll be following this thread, since I had a favia that was doing great for about 2 months, then all of a sudden the flesh peeled off and it was dead...
+1 HUGE upgrade from VHO and PCs. You would have no trouble with your clams then, especially if you got good bulbs and reflectors.
Your RO water should not test high if it is working properly. Do you have a DI unit as well? This can be very helpful. Basically if your RO/DI...
Is this for a saltwater tank or freshwater? If it is for saltwater, I'd recommend getting a reverse osmosis unit to purify your water. This would...
Welcome to my fellow Torontonian! What are you thinking of setting up?
Clowns and damsels are related and can both be quite aggressive. Clowns do well in un-equal pairs because that is how they mate. But 3 clowns in a...
Hi Katrina. Yes, this sounds like a diatom bloom. As the diatoms die, you will likely see green hair algae and possibly cyanobacteria (may look...
Agree with above - forget the 2nd coral beauty. The rest of the list seems ok, but just keep an eye on your maroon clown - they are very aggressive...
I do have a squamosa as well as a crocea. My tank is a 90g which is 24" high. I used to have 4x54W T5 as well as 4x65W PC, and my squamosa was...
Ok, this info helps. If your clam is 26" away from those lights it will die for sure. Quite frankly, even if it is 16" away, that lighting is a bit...
Wait, does your tank have a hood covering it, in which the lights are hidden? If so, you will want a retrofit light fixture. If there is no hood,...
You are looking at an odyssea PC fixture on ebay. I had one myself until recently. Honestly, not the way you want to go. The light output is not...
