I just got a Hanna HR nitrates checker and it has been reading 75+ when I test my tank water. I know API not the best but when I test with that I get about 20ppm maybe a little higher Not sure what’s going on so I decided to test my storage water using both the Hanna and API. HANNA gave me a...
So I have been running GFO in a TLF reactor with a flow of about 43 gph and my phosphates are at .12. I am also having an issue with I think may be Lyngba since I still have this algae problem and nothing is touching it. As far as lowering phosphates to help combat this algae should I change...
I have a nice size lunar Wrasse 5-6” that I am looking to trade for a different type of wrasse for my 120, or any type of fish that would be compatible with a yellow tang a fox face a flame angel a bluethroat trigger or two clowns. I also have three shrimp in the tank that the fish needs to get...
So I have a little bit of a hair algae problem. Would I benefit from a couple mollies. I see they devour GHA. My snails and lawnmower Blenny either don’t touch it or do very little to control it. Looking for ideas. Also if tank is treated with fluconazole will anything eat algae or will it just...
I go downstairs to mess with my tank and I noticed my yellow chest wrasse committed suicide. Dried up on the carpet. Im curious how he did this since I have a lid. The only possible way was for him to jump up was through my feeding tube. Guess he may have went inside tube when food was being...
I’m totally lost here. This Monti was nice and red and for the last several weeks it faded. Outer edges red but the rest is brown/white. All polyps are out but under white light looks horrible. Numbers have been stable for a while. I am running 2 hydra 26 a Kessil ap 700 and the Aquatoc life...
I’ve been wanting one of these guys for awhile but couldn’t justify the cost. Took a trip to Lancaster and visited That Fish Place. I took advantage of the 25% off coupon and picked one up at a decent price. Drip acclimated him for 2 hours and put him in a dark tank. Excited to see how he’s...
So I just noticed my RBTA split into 2 now. I am fairly new with these and have read it can be good or bad. How do you know if it’s bad. It appears colorful just now have 2 smaller ones that my clown hosts. I also feed it clams every few days. Just want to make sure nothing I have to do for it...
Quick question about the aquatic life hybrid fixture 48” 4 bulb. I think I know answer just want to make sure since it’s new. You cannot run just 3 bulbs correct. It’s either 2 or 4 I only have 3 blue plus right now since the coral plus was out
of stock. I have that coming tomorrow so only one...
So I just ordered the 48” aquatic life hybrid light to go with a Kessil Ap700 and 2 hydra 26’s. I plan on hanging from the ceiling. How heavy is the fixture and should I reinforce ceiling with plywood to hang everything or will good sheet rock anchors hold everything up? Unfortunately my joists...
So I went into my fridge to grab my phyto to dose and when I opened it up for the first time it smelled like rotten eggs unlike the other one that smelled like algae. So unfortunately the entire culture is no good. Can I still feed this culture or should I chuck it. I have 2 cultures of Mercer...
My buddy just sent me a picture of Toms River Petco. Everything by the tanks is taken down. They look like they are doing demolition. Could they be remodeling like Brick or my guess is scrapping the saltwater section since it never looked any good
Forgive me for my poor artist rendering but I will try to explain. What I plan on doing is running a Uv off of my return pump. I am going to install on 1/2 pvc line on manifold that has a flow meter from there it will flow through the Uv light and back into a T on the main return line sending...
So I magnified this algae since I think I have Dino’s. Anyone know what it is? May have to start dosing Peroxide. Please anyone I need your expertise before it gets bad
