LOL, you just made my point. The goal of this "thread" should be to educate, not dicated, what someone should or should not do. Soooo, I should...
Agree, but what other option is there? Kind of a Catch 22, damned if you do, damned if you dont... Really, really good book, by the way.;)
Have these already been purchased? If so, you could look to fit them in your overflow (if your tank is reef-ready). If you have not purchased yet,...
I think this would be a daunting task, best accomplished by encouraging people who are stocking a tank to do alot of reseach. There are other threads...
I tend to agree with this... the only time I would possibly think about QTing is if the fish was sick enough that it wasnt eating. If the fish are...
The fish food is completely fine for human consumption, just think of it as mini-sushimi... at least that's what you could tell your mom ;D
I hope it does soon, he's got a pretty nasty wound on his side, but it's healing nicely. Just dont want him stressed over it.
My blue hippo tang is getting too big for his usual sleeping/hiding spot. It's a small crevice between two rocks, with a third on top. He darts in...
I have one of those mesh strainers that you find in the kitchen, and just dump the container into that. It should strain out the mysis or brine or...
Any further thoughts as to the lighting? I ask because if one side has a different color/intensity to the other, what will that do to the balanced...
Mine is the Marine Depot house brand, and it does have auto temp compensation. I just think the spring inside needs time to settle down.
THAT IS AWESOME! Great job steve, lol! I'm sure John from reefcleaners might even pay you a few $$ for those pics! haha!
Yeah, that does seem like a lot of food. For only two (maybe three) fish, I'd say 1/8 cube of frozen a day, maybe a pinch of dry food every few days...
It's good to know I'm not the only one crazy here!
I've been having to recalibrate mine with 1.026 calibration fluid every time before I can take measurements. Somehow it always drifts, plus I dont...
What do you mean? You want pics of the vials next to the color cards? It's hard to take a picture through a refractometer... ;D
I test weekly, and will be testing tonight. Currently working on raising Calcium and stabilizing PH/dKH. As of last saturday: Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0...
Yup, I use baking soda as well on my tank. 1 tsp = about 1dKH for me, and I figure I have about 80-90 gallons total. Funny, the BRS calculator is...
That is a good point. You are right though, if it were me, I'd fix it for peace of mind, and probably double check the rest of the tank.
I would say that's a non-issue, as the water pressure will be roughly equal on both sides, meaning the leak won't continue to enlarge. Having a...
