Happy thanksgiving. Totally disgusted by the Eagles.

You need a nice angelfish for that big tank.

Use mesh socks. Just rinse at the tap much easier than felt.

Nice. I see You got the filter sock washer taken care of first.

Haha .

We need to make this a sticky. Information is so useful. Thanks Mark.

Mark_C no rush. You must be busy with the new baby. I have been reading on the internet and setting up a station. Just not sure the exact thing to do yet. Maybe this is one of the things that once you've done it it becomes much easier.

So cool. This is and will be the only one in the WORLD. On the other hand electricians charge $100/hour and this will probably take at least 40 hours to build. Don't even mention the cost of copper. You got to love DIY :)

I have a dsa. We'll build tank. Good luck with it. I run a herbie with it.

Paul I planning to order from Florida Aqua farms . Not sure what exactly to order yet but pm me if you want to do it.

Mark - thanks for the extensive info. Would love to check out your setup one day. (BTW I have bought a saw blade and will work on the acrylic soon :) ). Think I will start doing Phyto. One step at a time. Already have the air pump and airline tubing. Just need to find a suitable container and a...

Is there a lot of benefits to both fish and corals (other than breeding) cultivating Phyto & Pods to feed the tank? How about Brine? Like to hear from those who have are doing this. I know Paul B feed Brine everyday to his pipe fish. Does baby brine shrimps also benefit corals?

Thank you guys. Can't wait for the corals to fill up the tank.

Almost 4 months after the rockwork change. It certainly has proved to be a challenge. Went thru a lot of algae problems. But learned a lot too. I now run BP + Chaeto/Caulerpa + GFO. BP is less than half of the recommended dosage. Just a little GFO to remove the extra PO4. Really like the...

I see you have a few bubble algae on the rocks. Get a few emerald crabs to take care of that before it gets out of hand. With tank of your size just skimmer is not enough. Refugium or some type of carbon dosing is needed.

Your combo is very white. I would start with 6 B+, 1 C+ and 1 P+. If it's too blue then use 2 C+ instead of 1. I like P+ which bring out the red.

I put the scopas in a week ago. Yesterday it was covered in Ich, in the DT. There are at least 20 spots floating on top of the slime. It happened really fast. One day there is nothing the next whole body is covered. Today the spots are mostly gone. None of the other fish is affected so far. So...

Shrimp and inverts are kept in normal salinity while most fish are kept in much lower levels in most stores. If you didn't drop acclimated for more than one hour I would say this might be the reason it's dead

I bought a small tang last week and put him in a 20L with some rocks. I was gonna give it some Prazi treatment to deworm it. I heard deworming needed for wild fish because new fish are laden with all kind of bad stuff, fluke etc ... But it was quite stressed so I said what the hell and put him...

I see mine everyday and he sleeps in a tupperware box filled with sand. He is not shy at all. You may want to check outside the tank :(
