I'm not big on apps for discounts, but today I saved $13 with the Capital One shopping app- I was shopping on amazon for a membrane for my R/O buddy- bought it on ebay for much less- not sure how well it works for other stuff reef related but worth a shot- best part is you don't have to have a...
I have the R/O Buddy and a spring fed well. When looking at the instructions, it should make 500g before replacement/ 2500g of waste- mine lasted 8 months- just checked today and it's TDS are over 35- my well water is under 150- sometimes I wonder if it's worth using it
My 75g is my 5th tank- still have the original 13g- others rehomed ( and still have the 40 as a time out for bullies and pod tank for now ), the 75 has been up and running for 9 months and I'm still rearranging the scape. Nothing is glued down including most of the corals - except those that...
I love them, never had a problem with any- I've had/have striped, canary, midas, tailspot, bicolor, Molly Miller. The only problem I've had so far is that my yellow watchman doesn't like my Molly millers- I'm thinking about adding another- suggestions? Right now I have a striped, Canary, 2 molly...
I moved all the fish, most of the rock and corals from my 40b to my 75g gal months ago. First thing to show up were pods. I harvest them every few days and add them to the 75 after dark, found a few snails too, but lately I've found some limpets on the glass- stuck like glue. I did get some off...
Saw one at a LFS- did some checking, some say it eats aiptasia, algae and cyano. Anyone have any experience with this fish- kind of bland- but so is a lawnmower, but seems better
Ever since I got back in I've made a bunch of wrong decisions- wrong fish for the size tank, wrong fish for the 'community' etc- It started with my first tank-a13 gal- I was talked into a neon dotty and a Springer damsel by a fish store most of us have bought from- I still keep Springers, the...
I have a 13 gallon tank. The Talbot was in it alone for some time ( normally very easy going ), added 3 masked gobies- it ate one, I bought 2 Chromis and added them to my 75g - they never came out of the corner- moved them all to a 40g- doing fine- moving around and eating well

Has anyone had anything negative happen to their tank dosing phyto, a fellow reefer said he saw a spike in nitrates and phosphates dosing. Also, how much and how often do you dose ( per gallon volume of tank)

Seeing the post about Petco putting fresh water sharks in a reef tank got me thinking. When I was young I had a few fresh water tanks with the usual fish, guppies, platies, mollies- most come from brackish water. I've read multiple posts on Fb about people using them to get rid of hair algae and...
I've bought several different kinds of pods for a while- Tisbe, apocyclops and Tiger and after putting them in the dt, never saw a sign of them again, so when I moved everything from my 40 but left the pumps running so I could get the remaining snails out I had an explosion of pods- not sure...
I have a Melanurus and it's great, but a bit manic. It's in a 75g with plenty of rock with algae and pods. It will swim up and down in a corner of the tank for minutes on end, then go back to picking at the rocks. I had a yellow coris in my 40 ( got chased out by a nasty damsel ) it was very...
I moved a piece of rock today not thinking that where I put it was where my wrasse sleeps, it tried to sleep where the jawfish den is twice and really messed it up- I finally just shut the lights off and will see what happens in the morning- there is plenty of deep sand in the tank
I'm an 'early to bed' guy so my lights are out about the same time I hit the sack, but occasionally I'm up and hit the tank with a flashlight- my emerald crab and peppermint shrimp I never see during the day- copepods/ amphipods and most of my snails are most active at night. I'm still hoping to...
Are they ever finished remodeling? Mine took it's whole cave apart today till it was just a crater and then re built it again in a few hours- fun to watch though
