not really, but thats probably because im running a big bubbler on it. so probably any smell is dissipated by now. but my understanding has always been that dead algae turns white, brown or grey. this stuff was outside for 6+ months, but it was in saltwater, in clear bottles that the sun could...

just wanted to update this. I've been feeding miricle grow and bubbling since I brought them in. you can see what dead phytoplankton looks like on the left and what live looks like on the right.

i dump it anywher and it doesnt kill nothing, of course i live on the water and we get salt water coming over our bulkhead on every big storm but the grass all lives fine, now i belive i have zoysia, but thats what my friend told me so

what is your sump light schedule like? you may increase your chance of positive results if you increase time on or intensity. i had 3 lights on my refugium 24hrs a day and the algae down there out competed everything else in the tank. of course i ramped up to that schedule and intensity over...

finally got my office stuff out of the room where the tank is going. it's ready for painting. It will need two or three coats of primer. then I'll lay down celling white and antique white on the walls. last the carpets will get ripped out and I'll lay down an epoxy floor. so no smoking in my...

i use one of those old school floating thermometers with the salinity guide on it. i know probably doesnt even work but theres a chart o determine ppt by use of temp and buoyancy. just google saltwater aquarium chart and look in the pictures section. but yeah IO and IORC you have to use extra...

I missed it. wouldn't have even know it was on yesterday except Paulie mentioned it to me. I will watch it and enjoy it if someone invites me over to watch at a party or something (free beers hell yeah who doesn't enjoy that) but I'm not following normally. we don't even have regular TV here...

yeah for sure. I'll let you know when (if) it turns dark green. I was growing this back when I had some clown eggs for the rotifers. I have always thought dead algae turns white grey or brown, so if green must have some life.

Just found out that my clam will outlive my great grandchildren. Many aquarists have kept Tridacna squamosa clams for decades, however this genus will live over 200 years in the ocean.

Just found out my clam is going to outlive me. The Squamosa Clam can be a good choice for a beginning saltwater aquarist with a good sized tank. It's a durable clam that usually does well in reef aquariums and will commonly reach about 12" in length. These giant clams can get much larger in the...

mine are still skittish. just put a light bulb on there now. give it a few hours or maybe a day or so and I'll send pictures. overall the fish appear to be in good health. not extraordinarily skinny, but the tangs are small so they aren't "fat" I am a bit concerned about the freckled as he is...

I think it went well for everyone. we did a hold at fed ex cause they are notorious for disasters in my area. we also did get the discount, retailer was very accommodating. everything arrived alive. I picked up 2 purple tangs, 1 freckled face tang and a hippo. I've got a uv light in there and...
