I never thought about this until I had to dose a tank. When you first set up a tank, take note of the actual amount of water you use- it's hard to figure it out later on subtracting for substrate, and rock- many treatments call for exact volume for the dosing amount
Cleaned out the filter area as best I could- the deign is worse than my first attempt at building an AIO- the return pumps barely fit the chambers and the media box is only half as deep as the chamber- first 3 pics,. The fourth shows the foam I plan on using ( coarse and medium) alongside the...
I just bought a used 30g cube and bought Dr Tims 1 and only,, Fritz ammonia, 20lbs of live sand, have a few pieces of dry rock and live rock- getting some more from Salted on Sunday. Should I jump start with the ammonia or wait until I have all the rock in the tank and then add the bacteria
Something like this- pods love it

Just wondering about the kinds of pods you'll be doing- there re a few or more- last time I bought them I got tisbe- read there are the best, thoughts?
I'm making water, but have the 'Buddy' and hate dumping the waste down the drain, so I've been buying distilled water to supplement- checked and it's zero for tds- my water is 3. Took a look at the media box the unit came with and it's a bit of a joke- doesn't fit the whole chamber and the...
When I first bought chaeto, it was on ebay, most of it turned grey and disintegrated, but there was about there was a few that survived- I think my tank was 'too new' after that it took off- I have growing under all cheap lights from amazon- guess your tight- now I have no nitrates or phosphates...
I'm not growing chaeto to eat, I'm sure some lights will make it grow faster or produce more 'nutrients' but a cheap white/ grow light has mine growing and is doing it's job- and I have to throw the stuff away ( can't give it way)- my pods love it too
I guess it depends on the size chamber you're growing it in- I have a 7" submersible light on white in a hob on my 13g and it grows chaeto and dragon's breath just fine
You need nothing more than a cheap white light or grow light for chaeto- all depends on the size of the chamber it's in- I grow mine with lights all under $10-submersible strip lights varied lengths and a clip on grow light all on amazon- my tanks are all under 50 gal and chambers are on the...
Wish I could attend, situation at home only lets me away for about 2 hours at a time and I'd spend it all driving back and forth- have a great time!

All my tanks are in one room- my office- each tank has different fish ( mostly) - all fish are on the smaller side and none cost more than $40. The 13g was the most expensive tank $150 - The 30l was free with stand and hood, the 40b was $50 (Petco )- built my own stand and hood and the cube was...
I totally agree. I picked up my new tank from @brokereefer today and we talked for a long time ( not sure how his family felt lol ), every time I get to buy/ share with you guys and we get to talk for a minute/ few/ many, it's great- just looking for more
So this is #4 ( 5, but the hex was a disaster )- I now have a 13g, 30L, 40B and now this ( and a 110 in a shed )- why 4 and not the 110- a discussion for another time- this is the 'old style' without the wifi- don't want it/ need it- the lights are white and are on all the time- you need to add...
the stand is 27" high and the top is 20.25" w, front is curved- 20" on outside and 21" in the middle- it has smoked 'glass' inserts on the double doors and a shelf ( light added to show)
