The water change water should be above the levels you want the tank to end up at. Specifically, if you do a 25% water change, you want the WC water...
What sizes are they?
After water change concentration =( ( water volume left in tank * its concentration ) / (water volume of change water * its concentration) ) / total...
Yeah, you're gonna need a pump like that one, or the Gen-X pumps. An in-water pump won't work as well for your plan.
Alk is usually dosed at night, while calcium/magnesium is dosed during the day. This is because alk will help stabilize pH, which tends to drop...
I would add them to the water you're putting into the tank.
Occasional feedings will help it along, but coldshot is right. It's really dependant on the individual.
No, it's probably the flow. You have nutrient levels that would suggest that nutrients aren't the problem.
Yeah, he's saying it's "simple and effective, no doubt". He takes some translating sometimes ::) This is actually the way I've been dosing lately,...
If the fish are small enough, 1 bucket is fine. They acclimate 10 to 20 1-2" fish at a time in buckets at my LFS. You likely disturbed the anaerobic...
You're probably going to want to use an external pump for this one, but the idea is sound.
Are you running linux or OSX?
The second fish, if it's bigger, will usually be farther away from the anemone than the smaller clown. That's the way my true percs act towards my...
It really depends on the species and individual genetics of your frags. I'm pretty sure most acans get to be around that same larger size, but the...
Probably depends on the policy itself. I worry, but I keep a water alarm near the most likely point to leak on my tank.
Er, what are you guys talking about? For a screenshot, hit the "print screen" button on your keyboard, open up Paint, and hit Ctrl-V to paste it in...
Flash player never shows up in the start menu. It's not really used as a standalone environment (only occasionally with AIR), just in browsers. In...
Not quite. If you know exactly what your magnesium to calcium usage ratio is, you can mix magnesium and calcium supplements, and let them be dosed by...
I would go with the filter/carbon/skimmer. The skimmer will help much more with maintenance than anything else you can do.
It's because you have SOFT corals. Those guys don't build skeletons, and thus don't need calcium or carbonates! And +1 to "These aren't drugs". Not...
