dealing with the same issue. inverts from the group buy will be delivered on Feb 26th. not sure if i have so much in me to stomach 25 days of it. i havent had any fish in the tank, no feeding, no nothing and the brown diatoms appeared. i bought a few snails and they made some progress. but i...
have you had any problems with him picking on corals? is he very territorial in your tank? if he is a friendly type with you clowns and not doing damage to corals - I can pick him up any time tomorrow.
i came home to discover brown diatoms on my rock appearing. i need some reassurance that this is a normal part of maturing tank and also what needs to be done that it wouldnt get out of the control. water parameters seem to be fine. i have become a mad scientist and check twice a day. lighting...
thanks Mike. I try to give back as much as i get. although, i have not met many of peopel from here in person, but some of them helped me a lot too. thank you.
strange... i spoke to him on the phone a few times and exchanged a few emails and the guy seemed to care not only about what i wanted to buy but also about the fish and their well being in my tank. i really had a nice conversations with him not longer than 3 weeks ago.
it really depends on your budget and what you want to accomplish. i have tried to resarch this same topic on this site and also on reef central and it looks like there are two school of thought:
a) go with vortech or tunze - very pricey option
b) go with controlable koralia - still expensive...
I re-checked PH this morning with new test kit and it is around 8.5 (between two colors) - now i understand the need for PH probe. this is really guessing game with the colors and i am not color blind person.
hm... tough call... magnum would be probably to big for 72g. i will go with maxi jet and may upgrade. i will put all 4 of them in the tank and we will see.
Ammonia: 0
PH: 7.6
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: somewhere in between 0 and 5.0 on ATI color scale
Phosphate: somewere in between 0 and 0.25 on ATI color scale
Salnity: 1.024
I will do 10% water change on Wed - just in case. Phosphate worries me a little bit - simply I want to avoid algea issues. I...
well... let me thank all of you who helped me in the past 3 months. Thank you. To mention a few: Wendy, ReneeRN, Adam from Wallington and others. Also my wife who put up with me and my hobby lately. After reaching ammonia 0, nitrate 0 and nitrite 0 - i decided to change everything. I broke down...
since I cant afford vortech, I am looking at a substitute: red sea wavemaster pro. my question is which power heads to use with it that would work nicely. I would appreciate any kind of feedback of users of wavemaster pro.
as some of you may suspect - I come from Poland and to put it mildly: we dont drink beer below 6%. i am not sure it is even called a beer in eastern europe.
anyway, I can add to the raffle 16x16 Yuengling Lager metal poster (kind of what you see in bars or liquore stores) to help my luck in...
