Get any horseshoe crabs? Fluke? Blue claws? Horseshoe crabs molt too fast and you have to hand feed them daily- a pain after a while. Fluke and blue claws are predators. I don't want any predators in the reef.

I warm it and check for salinity. Thats it.

I use kalkwasser for calcium. No other additives. Tried B-Ionic, but had mixed results. When I tested the bay water, the parameters were awesome. I would love a pristine tank, but the fish and corals are doing well. The radioactivity, being one mile from the nuclear power plant, makes the...

I have local sea weeds and sponges growing. Also lots of amphipods in the sump. My rocks were cured in the lagoon. I also use local snails and hermit crabs for cleanup crew

I was just trying to help. I have the 55 gallon can which would be overweight .

Rubbermaid Commercial Products Brute Trash Can Dolly-FG264020BLA - The Home Depot They are usually in stock. I use my brute can for my Kalk ATO. I don't think that the wheels would hold the full weight of the water as max load is 350 lbs. If that is similar to what you were going to use it...

I wouldn't run direct as water quality changes when boats go by. gas, drainage, stirring up of the sediment. I did think of it, but it is unpredictable when the bennies come down. lol

salinity 3 miles from barnaget inlet is 1.022-1.025. always test salinity at +70 degrees or levels will read low on a refractometer.

Match salinity and temp. I always use carbon, polypad and a UV. I took my lagoon's water to Tropicorium for testing and was shocked that all levels were perfect. High tide when it hasn't rained for a couple of days. I was worried about runoff, fertilizers, etc.

Come on Madreefer- you are either born free or not......

RK2 75PE protein skimmer | eBay If only I had a huge system.

do you have height limitations? Also- needle wheel or injector type. I think a lot of the new skimmers are massively overrated on tank size.

Weird question kind of. Why only do the tips bleach and not the base? I did emergency surgery to amputate the spread. So far so good. No further death or bleaching Just Keeping a log so if someone else has this happen, you know.

I was warming water for my water change and the water was warmer than the tank water. I should have waited, but did the water change anyway. The only coral that hated it was my acropora. It white tipped and started to recede in 24 hours. I fragged it and saved what I could. I lost...

I get water year round. When my corals look unhappy, I do a 50% water change directly from the lagoon- I adjust temp only. I don't treat it in any way. I have been doing saltwater tanks since 1984, at 11, taught by Steve from AquaOceans. Using that local water has made keeping my...

I grab sea lettuce floating in the lagoon in the summer, tangs tear it apart.

Just checking who else is using bay or ocean water from NJ and location. I am getting it during high tide from a Barnaget bay lagoon in Forked River. Any problems noted? I also used sand from the bay. Problem is that after about 3 months, you will get dozens of NJ crabs that were eggs...

Sorry, This looks like an overpriced toy.

pics or it didn't happen !!! lol. Perfect size tank.
