That stuff is great. Just used 60 pounds of it in my new reef. Scavengers are good with it, nassarius are good with it, and it doesn't blow around, even with the gyre at 80%.
Would advise a good rinse though it seems quite 'dusty'. I put a few scoops in a bucket, rinsed with tap until...
With the new 90 set up, I'm going to be selling some old equipment. Would like to try to sell the following as a set, just add a pump and ready to go:
40b (black painted back)
Eshopps 300 overflow (with 1" pvc plumbed in)
10g 3 chamber sump
Modified pine stand
U bend return
Current USA...
Great pics and thanks for the insight. As an adult I've travelled the world for 10+ years and yet, somehow, I ended up back here in NJ. Unfortunately I've always been a metro type and have settled in cities or suburbs with few chances to see outside the bustle. My short-sightedness was my loss...
Well, transferred last Wednesday over an 18 hour period. Tanks were next to each other so all went smoothly.
If into detail... I filled the new 60g with 50# rinsed aragonite on Sunday and began making water. On Wednesday I added the 25g matching salinity (new) water to the new tank then...
Excellent idea. I was thinking way too inside the box. Concern I had was that the current system (40b) is without a skimmer for past few weeks and I've been overfeeding a bit. I thought new water in the new tank would be beneficial. But...
Feeding off your idea I instigated a 20% water change...
When I entered this hobby 8 months ago I assured my wife that the 40b was a perfect size for our room. Having read for over a year in preparation for the hobby, I assured her that this set up would do us well for many years and there was no fear of expansion or additional expense.
This week I'm...
Been a couple of weeks but a lots gone on, including news of a future reefer - there goes the boat savings.
BUT, I'm back to the tank, and, more substantially, the stand build. As my garage is filled with every tool known to man, I have no space to build anything. This required completing the...
So I have a recurring problem with a small zoanth group (bout 20 polyps on a small rock). Algae kept popping up and I kept trimming and plucking it. Got tired of the continuous effort and let it sit for a week, then an emergency came up and I let it go for another week. By the time I took notice...
