Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I would love to hang lights from the ceiling but I don’t know what’s behind the sheet rock. This is a seven story apartment building and it is a concrete structure. There are ducts, electrical etc between the ceiling and the floor above. Are ceilings like these framed the same way as a regular...
Sell the fish unless they’re hard to replace. I would clean the rocks with muriatic acid and store them dry if you like. Palys are difficult to get rid of.
I bought one of these $45 RBTA’s. Perfect size for my tank and it opened up nice after getting home. The color is fantastic. Just give it a name it will be worth $500. In fact o am going to name it holy grail 24k pink lemonade strawberry nem! The vendor told me it was from a breeder so it’s tank...
Marcus - yes I can still do it. I need to drop off my mom early morning but I will try to get their by 10am. Anyone else wants to do this, feel free to jump in front of me.
Ordered mine. Now I am wondering if I need a booster pump since I am on the 6th floor. The aquatic life booster pump seems pretty cool but it costs $125.
Many people use it? How do you like it? How well does it work with chlorinamine ?
Thinking about getting a compact unit for my nano. Can store about 30 gallons of water. Making salt water in 5 gallon bucket now and it has been working great. Just need to get the RO going.
If you get a pump that's rated for 1000 gph you will probably get about 600 gph actual. I had about 400 gph as measured by the bucket method and it was enough for the tank.
I had 2b+, 1c and 1p and used mostly blue from the LED’s. I think most of the par is coming from the T5 anyway. The purple + really bring out the colors from fish and corals alike. Suggest you buy a few more bulbs and play with the combination. BTW I didn’t change bulb at the one year mark. I...
Hypo does not cure ich. Even if it does, your existing tank still has ich so when you add the fish back they will get ich again.
The easiest way to cure ich is TTM. At the same time nuke your existing tank and start cycle again with live bacteria.
I started my first tank with when someone selling live rocks from their tank already cycled. The key to a successful aquarium is to have a diversity of life and let them reach a balance. A sterile tank is not good. If I were you I would start with some live rocks ideally sourced from a...
Mark - Looking forward to seeing the build. Only thing left in my original system is the 60g tank that I used to keep RO/DI and used as ATO reservoir. It has a small hole drilled to mount the float switch. You're welcome to come get it. I had the whole thing automated as you remember. Time in...
It will get ich and it will give ich to other fish in the tank.
When a tang go into a small tank it gets stressed out and stress out others and they all get sick.
When this happens if you want to save the fish, remove all the fish and do tank to tank transfer. You will need 2 tank large...
I have this baseball sized rock covered in polyps. Gold and purple. Free pick up in Elizabeth. Would like a few rubbles of similar size but not necessary.
