What is current best practice on speed-cycling a tank? Is Dr. Tim's still the way to go? What are people's experiences with Dr. Tim's, Prodibio, and dosing ammonia? I'd like to have the tank up and running a week or two before receiving "The Package" from Tampa Bay Saltwater. (Would rather not...
Here is a video from last Wednesday. The Jebao battery backup kept things alive for a couple of days, but eventually the tank was toast :(https://photos.app.goo.gl/DCbCVda7f1IicZ2N2
Has anyone had success introducing 2-3 dwarf angels into a tank to form a pair/harem? I'm having a hard time finding good articles or RC posts on the topic. I have two small Potter's angels in my 240 right now, but the smaller one (only slightly smaller) has been in an acclimation box since it...
Hi all,
I was thinking about whether I can skip adding a sheet of plywood on top of my stand and instead use PVC board (called "Sintra" brand PVC). The tank will be 60x36x24" and weigh quite a bit. It is flat-bottomed, glass and has no rim/trim on the bottom, so I need to spread the weight of...
Will a semi-detached garage in Houston be too hot to run a RODI? I've read somewhere that high temperatures can interfere with RODI performance. I was also going to put my water station (105g and 55g tanks) in there, but will the water be hotter than 84 in the summer?
I've been a little...
I need to get going w/ new tank plans! This time I need a steel stand fabricated that will support a 29x42" sump and a 60"x32" tank. I also want six "feet" with leveling capability. Any thoughts on where to source? Even better would be someone who could make snap-on (but child-proof) panels to...
I'm closing on a house in a couple of weeks and want to set up a temporary frag/fish holding system while I plan and execute a new tank build in the new home. I have many delicate SPS and finicky fish :confused2:
Is there anyone out there who's rapidly set up a holding system? The top priority...
Has anyone ever fragged a red goniopora before? Mine has grown past "softball" size and is approaching "volleyball" status. It's stinging some really nice corals nearby - I've procrastinated enough, I need to frag it. Any ideas? This is one that I grew from a frag that I got from Kat three...
When I posted a thread in the corals for sale forum, it seems to automatically condense all my text together. I can't have a space line in between paragraphs and it looks kind of crazy. This is a new problem for me.Test:Test:Test(I hit "enter" after each "Test"
I thought I'd share a video of my cleaner wrasses' behavior in the evening. When the halides are off and the tank is lit by mostly blue LEDs, the big yellow-headed male and the little female display some sort of courtship behavior, making paired ascents to the surface. It's kind of neat...
Anyone know if there are any good LFS in San Antonio? I'm here for the weekend. I don't feel like setting up on MAAST via my phone, since there are extensive protections against bots lol. Anyone have friends or connections or have recommendations on places to visit?
I had to remove half my rock in order to capture a coral-nipping fish. When I looked in the bucket that had held some rock, I saw around 100 tiny fish fry swimming around. I think that they are the ORA "masked gobies" (personatus).
Check out the video:
Hi all,
I'm placing the final order for the lobster egg product from the Netherlands. Final pricing should be around $40-$45 per flat pack (which is an entire kilogram!), which is much more than I was initially told, but still not too high for me to get. I wish I'd stocked up on Nutramar Ova...
I picked up two yellow stripe clingfish in mid-February after seeing them take a peck or two at cyclops. To be honest, I thought I had very low chances of them making it past the two-week mark. Their survival record in aquariums is very low, usually because they don't accept many foods. Their...
What to do with 25kg of frozen lobster eggs? I just ordered it all from the Netherlands. It's the closest thing to Nutramar Ova out there, and I really really want some Ova :)
