    Tank Volume

    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

    28G cube

    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...

    Fishless Cycling a tank

    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

    28G cube

    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...

    Chaeto wont grow...?

    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...

    Chaeto wont grow...?

    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

    Chaeto wont grow...?

    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

    Chaeto wont grow...?

    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...

    28G cube

    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...

    28G cube

    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...
