Set up a QT and treat the fish with ich in it. Then dip them in clean water before adding to your DT. This way no harmful elements from the...
Nice! Those look good!
+1 to overkill... As I mentioned, it will grow under almost anything. So like he said, a cheap light will work fine. LED will definitely last...
Either bulb will work, 5000k will cause it to grow like crazy IMO. I would say the 6500k will keep a good balance of growth and filtration....
I agree, not worth the risk. You should nuke that LR and then it should be safe again.
Those would work, chaeto will grow under just about anything. But the 5000k - 6500k spectrum is good for macro. I heard 5100k is optimal for cheato...
Not needed, but I would use the lighting cycle. Think of the cycle as your best time to get your schedule/equipment all dialed in. If you don't use...
Nice tank! Do you dose anything?
Coincidence but I was just researching the parts at lowes about an hour ago because I need to setup an ATO system. If you have pics that would be...
Drip acclimating works well IMO.
I would think you can just rinse and use. That's what I did with my base rock (dry) and didn't have any issues.
Yes, cleaning algae off the glass will be something you will do often. I had to do it about every other day in my 120 gal. tank. The snails will...
That is algae that a snail was eating, you can see the trail. Yes, scrape it off. Mag-floats work great.
I read on the internet that the end of the world was 12/21/12 ;)
I would rather see a post proving why LED's WOULDN'T be sufficient. I currently just finished my cycle and will be adding some coral under LED only....
Underneath the Message field (where you type your post) there is a manage attachments button. Click that then browse to the photos, depending on the...
Nice coral, is there a FTS anywhere on this thread?
check out the DIY skimmers, not sure if anyone has tried them but if you find one that works it would probably be the cheapest way to go. Then...
You can also siphon as much of it out as you can and then use new mixed water for your WC. What kind of water do you use also? That could cause it...
Definitely need some fans, that temp is too high IMO. That combined with nitrates/phosphates could cause some algae issues.
