Set up a new red sea 525, and seems stable and the test gold torch is doing well.
Hoping to start adding some sticks. Not looking for anything too high end yet cuz the tank is still relatively new.
Live in Cherry Hill and work in Robbinsville so somewhere in that geography is ideal.
So I know this is a long shot; but my dad has a reef that's being torn down this coming week - I will set it back up in 1-3 months; I was hoping I would be able to have a temporary storage tank set up, but circumstances made this impossible. I was hoping I could pay room and board for someone...
Looking for a nice milli, maybe more than one. Have a tricolor already (green polyps, red corallites, brownish base). Would really like a palmers blue, sunset, or bubblegum for example.
Can pay cash or trade a purple plate coral (have several).
looking for cheato, dragons breath, and potentially a couple other non-caulerpa cheatos.
id like to have them shipped, if anyones willing to deal with USPS.
9-10. It will slowly vary, maybe .2 change a week. Usually 9.4
I read a study that showed carbonates are the limiting nutrient in coral growth in typical seawater and conditions, so I keep mine to the high end. Not sure if it actually helps (statistical significance in a study doesnt always...
i agree with the you in theory that a sterile environment will reduce any animals immune response, but im skeptical that a fish will lose immunity over a month or two. fish do use the typical immunoglobulin mediated adaptive immune response that other vertebrates do - they have some...
oh, and idk if you tried this for your bryopsis. i have a tuft show up in my tank every now and then, usually if i overfed for a week or something else raises my nutrients. i turn off the pumps, and with a syringe spot dose the tuft with H2O2. i mix in some MgCl2 first, to make it dense...
i add an insignificant amount of lugols to the water when i do water changes (0.01mL per 5gal), i feel like it makes my corals brighter, but its likely all in my head. i dont want to add any more without an I test, which i dont want to buy. my autotopoff has kalk in it, and i have automated 2...
that sucks man.
i wouldnt break down though... youll miss it too much, and the rebuild will set you back.
can you set up a hospital tank to treat the fish in? that way you can lower the salinity, dose copper, all that good stuff.
if you want sentinel i have some tabs left for the smallest size, ill have to check the mg; but 1 tab was perfect for 1 treatment on my tank (approx 25gal of total water volume).
its no longer in production. the active ingredient, milbemycin, is in sentinel. it also has an additional active ingredient that serves as a flea growth inhibitor (basically it permanently turns on the flea hormone receptor that tells the larva to stay a larva and not pupate if i remember...
Long known to be the basis of every environment, and we've known for a decade who most animals have more bacterial cells than their own (by number, not mass, your cells are much much bigger). But they always get overlooked in the hobby just because we have no way of understanding which ones...
