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.
Not sure i understand. If return pump conks out then it won't help any whether the skimmer runs or not.
I run a reeflo tarpon connected to my MRC skimmer and my return. No issues (knock on wood).
Though I am open to the idea of having two pumps - I just think if I can avoid the cost/extra...
if the tang police turn away - a blue hippo or powder blue would work. Maybe we can convince you to upgrade the size of the tank.
Sorry about the mis-id on the staghorn. That fish looks like it would be able to handle any damsel.
yellow tail damsel.
Cheap, hardy and a bright blue.
They are the least aggressive of the damsels.
edit - though it may beat the chromis I see in there.
got it. ;)
Just one thing to consider would be to re-aquascape and maybe find some flat piece of LR for your coral placement. The other idea is to use magnets - I've seen some people adhere the frag via magnet to the tank.
you say you have ceriths, hermits, astreas in your 30gallon? mind if i ask how many of each total? what other cleaners do you have? My point is it seems to me you might have starved them.
I run a crab-less tank. No hermits, no emeralds, nothing with pincers. Not even shrimp (though i will...
Why do you want to add more LR?
If anything most people have too much LR in the tank preventing proper circulation and therefore causing more detritus/poop to settle in the tank.
Anyways - if you do get more LR - ideally it's cured already - or even received from someone breaking down a tank...
welcome dave! i won't be at the next meeting (out of town) - but hopefully we can catch up in july! New folks always seem to have the best luck with raffles! :)
hope the trip to AqOb went ok.
While the mods discuss the recent bru-haha, may I direct attention to the many other forums/threads NJRC has to offer??? ;D
I think personal differences aside we are all looking to promote reefkeeping in a sound manner with conservation as it's priority.
NJRC is proud to support and help our...
Obviously he doesn't know you and I don't know if you have your membership card yet. So be sure to ask if he can look up your membership. Otherwise you won't get the discount.
Great news!
goes to show that even for tank-raised/captive bred fish - they are just engineered in the head to know to head for an anemone.
fyi - I saw a gorgeous small flame angel at AqOb.
LOL. Well everytime I'm there I see that black couch. I see the one depression has filled in much better and I say to Wil - Napoli? he nods. Then I look at the other side that is nice and worn and I say - Blange?
;D ;D
No problem-o. Under all the usernames - right underneath should be a tag. Our sponsors will have the "sponsor tag". Members will say "member" and then frag/colony etc. Non members will just have the frag/colony designation. That changes based on number of posts.
If i didn't say so - welcome to...
So I just want to reiterate that in the 7 months since the tank has been up - I'm still tweeking things.
First the algae seems to have suddenly gone from green to this brownish hue - like it's dying. This is a good thing. The bubble algae though still appears to be two bulbs fine. I need to...
Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax
Bax - i hope that is 4x a day. If you are taking 4 of them at a time you run the risk of putting an ulcer in your stomach lining. Trust me - my college buddy did that and she was in a ton of pain after that. Just be cautious.
larger sized worms can be nuisance. But typically they get large because the hobbyist is overfeeding. Consider them the tanks unofficial clean up crew. If you see too many -it's a sign of overfeeding/too many nutrients.
In general they are helpful but the larger ones I distrust. Also no natural...
dave - i think, not sure, but i think you think rod owns AO. Rod is a customer - he bought the clam already. I was there on tuesday and he had a few nice blue maximas left. That stated- you might want to call or post in the Aquatic Obsessions board to ask.
shan should give you like royalties for all the times you mention him. ;)
Just like tunze should for me. hahah.
hey monroereef - powerhead choices include:
vortech (never owned)
tunze streams gen2 (never owned)
tunze streams gen1 (no longer made, but they well built and still supported by...
