Ok I will be buying some dry rock and some live rock to go in the wet/dry area. After that I have a whisper power filter, my heater and the return running in the rest of the tank. Should I add sand to the bottom. Also If I was to baffle off a fuge what would you suggest to go in there? I can...
I just set up my first sump today. I bought a 20 gallon long from petsmart for 26 dollars which I think was a steal. I bought a wet/dry filter box and an overflow from aquacrylics a websight i found for 115 dollars shipped. The system holds 6 gallons of bio media. My return is a rio 2500 which...
How about feeding or dosing. Right now I dose calcium every once in a while to keep up levels, and I use reef crystals. Will I need strontium or iodine, or anything like that?
With the reeftopia group buy going on now I was wondering if I could possibly order some mushrooms or ricordia. I have a 55g with 2 150 gph powerheads, 1 hob filter, a diy skimmer run by a 250gph venturi set in a surface skimmer box, a 130 watt coralife pc light, and a moonlighting system. The...
Hello everyone,
My name is Justin Hensperger. I have been into fish for about 5 years. It started with a freshwater comunity tank. It was a 25g eclipse which I still have running today. After switching to aggressive freshwater I felt there was realy nowhere else to go I started eyeing up...
Now I know aiptasia is widely considered a pest. Should I kill the thing or leave it. I know it is not the nicest looking thing but I am on a low budget and having an anenome might add some life to the tank which may wind up having not so much coral in it.
I bought a 1/2 pund piece of LR at lfs. I bought it because I saw that it had an anenome on it and what I though was another coral. Not only did it have those but I found about 4 what look like brittle stars on it, for 11 dollars I got all that. Now this is a picture of the coral I found on it...
I run into a problem with that because the tank is right next to my bed, lol. Anyway I found a pretty cheap 3 led system with a dimmer, I was actualy going to get the one suggested a few posts up, but I felt he was definately using a shipping price that was just made up by him to make more...
Can anyone suggest a brand of led moonlight, or even an ebay link. Im looking to light a 48in aquarium. I have a coarlife 50/50 light mounted above the aquarium that I can mount the leds under. It doesnt have to be high powered, or even rated for a 48 inch aquarium, just as long as it gives some...
I think the usage of just numbers 1-4 provides very limited information. You should look for a format that incorperates text descriptions to backi up ratings so that those who are reading can know the reasoning for the numbers given, and better information on the livestock, quality, service, etc...
Re: New to njrc, First tank
Ok now Im going crazy. I bought a wooden air stone, and the skimmer ran for 30 mins, and still no air accumulation. Then I went out and bought a t joint to connect my two pumps to run. Let in run, still no air accumulation. Now I set up a nebulizer, which is...
Re: New to njrc, First tank
Well over the past few days I have been DIY(ing) a skimmer. It is stable with the water level and has been running all night. The air bubbles arent doing anything though. I have an airstone in there, but the bubbles will surface and pop. So right now I have an HOB...
