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.
I have no issues with Bristle Worms, as they add a a lot of plankton to the tank when they reproduce. For biological control - Pseudochromis, like fridmanis, will eat the smaller ones, and Bird Wrasses will eat larger ones (but aren't especially reef safe). Suggest you pull them out with some...
What exactly sparked and started smoking? Not sure Jeboa is a Chinese knockoff of anything, considering the functionality involved. Was the Jeboa the unit that did this? I agree with your "made in China" issues, but it isn't easy today to find any thing that isn't made there...
In the marine aquarium hobby I think Phosphagone is the only one with Strontium. A lot of available products have Lanthanun (which is cheaper if you by it in a pool store as a pool phosphate remover). GFO is iron based and has no issues other than cost. Other products, like Phosguard have...
Darren,
I'm trying to learn more about the Phosphagone product. On RC's Chemistry Forum, Randy Holmes Farley says he would be concerned about Strontium build up using the stuff. Are you using a Strontium test kit?
Is there any reason given on why the product needs to be used with their...
Is anyone especially happy or unhappy with the Jeboa line of powerheads?
I find the Jeboa pricing a little too good to be true.
Last year I started replacing my Koralia powerheads with Sicce powerheads. Should I consider the Jeboas, and why?
Thanks in advance...
Hi Darren,
Are you using the phosphate option? I'd be interested in knowing if/how it works. I'd like to find a bacteria based phosphate remover, but I don't think they exist.
Personally, I prefer sulfur to reduce nitrates. Made my filter several years ago from unused parts I had lying...
Paul,
I'll take these if you don't mind holding them a little longer. (Got rear ended in Allentown this past weekend and I'm short a car.) I'll be using them in my 180 - pulled 6' of LEDs and replacing them with two 5' T5s for better coloration.
Regards,
Bob
I just picked up a third one of these. They aren't cheap ($40+ including shipping). The model number is F9D1001-15.
Specs include
- Designed to power your workshop equipment and provide surge protection
- Metal construction is impact resistant
- Heavy-duty 15 ft. cord
- 10 grounded outlets...
Naroda Stars also eat Asterina Stars...
And, I don't think that your photos demonstrate "cannibalism".
Monkey Brains are a delicacy in China. Does that make the Chinese cannibals? (Both species are primates!)
Regards,
Bob
I use a LaMotte Smart2 Colorimeter for my phosphate, nitrate, and iron.
I use Red Sea Pro for my Magnesium and Potassium.
I use Salifert for my Alkalinity and my Calcium.
Interested in the fish if the previous offer falls through. I can supply coral frags if you're interested in them.
I'm looking to hook this up with a pass through the Forsythe National Wildlife Reserve. I understand that the Snowy Owl population is exploding there this year...
Stomatellas are a really neat critter to have in your tank. They reproduce nicely. (However, you can't keep them with hermit crabs or other crustaceans.)
For more info on them, suggest you link-up with Dr. Ron Shimek's Invertebrates; Morphology, Ecology, and Behavior forum...
