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.
putting together a 20 long nano and not loving my flow at present. how long have these things been out of stock and how long have folks had to wait to get their hands on them?
i guess its part of the whole chip supply chain situation.
its been a while since i had it in my tank, but acans/micromussas got gone, favia, even some chalice got sampled. euphyllia and softies were fine, but it was nearly constantly grazing between feedings.
hope your experience is better than mine.
i feed slightly heavy just once a day and no issues at all with my wrasse. nori sheets 2x per week supplement. mysis, spirulina loaded brine and homemade frozen. occasional pellets.
its more colorful, a little smaller (which fit my tank better) and just seemed to have more personality to me, but that's probably just my projection. seems more graceful too as it slips about the tank.
love mine. pretty sure he took care of some red planaria flatworms i had when i go him. yes to the sand bed, not sure about the jumping, i have a full endlosure, but i could see them being jumpers. liked better than my yellow coris wrasse for sure.
any mounting arms to go with the g4 xr30s? they look like they will be tricky to find online and i would need one.
alternatively, what about mounting options for the kessil 360we's?
i'm just looking to light a 20 gallon long right now, but i don't hate overkill and being able to move to...
yes, somewhat unintentionally since my membership wasn't up until august LOL.
please don't worry about it though, i didn't want to make more work for anyone and its not a lot of money for the benefits i enjoy. just wanted to warn others it was an easy screw up to make and if you were expecting...
just a word of caution, there are a few ways to make the update, and if you aren't careful, you can pay for your renewal before it is due, which is what i just did. :rolleyes:
first thing i would do is go to paypal and manage your automatic payments. in there you will see when you are due to...
three or four inches of sand is probably enough for the jawfish. i always let the ones i've kept to excavate their own lairs and they always seemed to try to incorporate some rockwork, like partially under a rock. i've kept diamond gobies and jawfish together without any issues that i recall. i...
maybe drop some reef roids of phyto in there just to see if they are still alive. or maybe the peroxide takes out the mucus nets. i forget which but one of them really seemed to get them in feed mode.
thanks for the details, that seems like a pretty good plan.
in the past, mrs. farney and i removed every rock in the tank except for the bottom ones burried in the sand bed and we physically removed every snail we could see with bone cutters and tweezers. on the rocks we pulled out and on the...
so i've had vermetids for a number of years and they are one of several reasons i'm currently working on a reboot of my tank. i'm not sure what i'm going to do to address them yet. i've tried manual removal before and it provides some relief, but they do seem to eventually come back. there are...
Anyone have this book? Looks like mostly a taxonomic/ID guide, with some more recent updates than most of the aquarium literature. And also, not much of an aid or guide for aquarists, but I could be wrong.
Just wondering if anyone has it and has any thoughts on it, like worth it/not worth it.
you sir, are too kind. thank you.
i'm currently rebuilding a steve's leds install on a red sea max 250, so we'll see how that goes. a 150 mh might work in there too, but i'd be too worried about heat, which is a big turn off on mh for me in general.
all valid points. part of my interest is cost, part results and part experimentation/experience. and totally agree, let's see some science behind this.
one aspect i saw presented was not so much that the corals themselves need and use uv, but rather that uv may affect bacteria, algae or dinos...
have seen some recent musings about LEDs lacking UV and many successful reefers that swear by metal halides for long term sps success.
it got me thinking enough about exploring metal halides as an option for some of my ever evolving plans with rebooting a tank and/or setting up a frag system...
no one in a club should be misleading anyone. intentionally or not, it would be simple for him to take it back for a full refund. he even got a free cleaning out of it. or if the buyer is happy to take it at a mutually agreed upon adjusted price that fits the actual goods. but its not cool to...
