    Battling Nitrates & Phosphates

    Respectfully. He is talking about zoas. They do not require intense lightning. And kessils. Regardless of size. Are really really good lights it’s a frag tank it’s not big. Additionally, He clearly has made a staggering number of changes on a very young set up. I would bet the ranch it is a...

    Aiptasia Eating Filefish

    My understanding with file fish. And yes I know I’m one of the lucky ones. Is start with a captive bred. And if you have a a tank like a refugium. That is separate from your main tank but plumbed in your system and it has aiptaisia or your willing to take some from your tank and seed it but...

    Mine is a master... a beast... a sultan. He is is the single greatest addition to my system. I love him. I move him tank to tank and he is a relentless hunter.

    Water Change Reuse

    What a great business idea if I lived on the beach. I’d run a 200 foot hose out there and sell salt water cheap. You could pull up and pay at the pump Hahahaha

    Water Change Reuse

    Hahaha I have jumped off that bridge. “Memories”. This sure water collecting you are all talking about is so interesting. And seems like an amazing way to go. But truth is. I am really spoiled with water changes and not carrying anything anymore that I’m certain I would not be consistent. I...

    Water Change Reuse

    I think it’s awesome that you can collect water this way. Personally. I would be concerned about the water quality. But I would have no idea what that even is. Do you find the quality of New Jersey water out there that good. Like no oil or diesel. Or whatever may be floating in it. It’s just...

    Water Change Reuse

    I am not a professional tank cleaner. But good bacteria in tank water is very minimal. The bacteria is on the gravel the rock and the glass and any surface free floating bacteria is very little.

Water changes are not just because of trace elements and nitrates and phosphate. And I can say without hesitation that any good fish keeper that...

    Looks great. Very happy the fire fish survived his ordeal. So when do you think tank will be fully operational? And FYI. I like the Hanna checkers. When I used them I found them to be simple and consistent
