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.
Welcome to the club, I ran that same 30g cube for almost 1.5 years before I upgraded and it was a great tank.
First piece of equipment I would recommend would be an ATO unit. This will keep the water in the sump level so you are not sucking any bubbles into the display and possibly burning...
The ones on Divers Den are reef safe. We have tacked them on to order from DD and been very happy with them. They are also Nikki's favorite invert as well. If you have a good LFS near you, talk to them when they get SPS shipments in. We have gotten them from trop in the past when they...
Good eye Darren. The Mtc can be a bit tough to dial in as the little needle wheel can be sensitive. Counting bubbles is the most accurate way to get it dialed in. We tested daily for three weeks or so when we first set it up. We conntinue to monitor it to make sure coral growth also does not...
Someone pmed me about what supplements we are adding to the tank for our SPS so I figured I would list it out for everyone. Again, our own personal experience on this, mileage may vary.
For calc, alk, mag:
We run the calcium reactor with carib sea course media. This has let us keep the alk...
Our guy is out pretty consistently. The blue spots have great personalities and rarely stay hidden all the way in the burrow. Our has had a burrow up front and a little towards the back which has been nice because we can see him. He does like to come out and swim though which is nice. The...
I don't think we have updated the fish we have in the system so I figured now would be a good time:
Display:
Joculator angel
False shepardi angel
Sunburst anthia
Aurluentus anthia
3x helfrichi firefish
Bells flasher wrasse
pair of flame wrasses
Nahackeys flasher wrasse
Gold assesor basslet
Pair...
Sounds like a good deal overall. I would use the rocks that he has in the container and ditch any of the rock in the display. You can cook that over some time and add them in at your leasure but I would not setup the tank with the old rock. Under algae can be other problems like bubble algae...
We have moved, resetup, and made over tanks too many times so I know what you are going through. A couple of quick points.
1. This has been addressed but I will say it again, new sand.
2. Is the rock covered in algae? What kind of algae? How much rock is there? The reason I ask is you...
If you are looking for an in tank treatment, go to AO or AF and buy the Dr. Gs medicated food for ich. I don't know if it will work, but it is an option.
The king of the nanos is back! I don't know anybody off the top of my head, besides maybe custom king on MR. The only other one would be advanced acrylics but his customer service and response time is awful.
