i spot what looks like tunze equipment on the left...

wow awesome bathroom. If i could do that my wife would've forced me long ago instead of the tanks...lol. tagging along.

I certainly appreciate people taking the time to look at what animals/fish require protecting. But I wish these people would use the right resources and information to make an informed decision. A lot of the information cited are from articles etc from several years ago. Even the recent data...

nice review thanks for writing it. and yes i always thought their website was horrible. An example of how NOT to run e-commerce.

talk about a thread hijack! lol. Good luck to her! and say farewell to nice long uninterrupted sleep. ;)

sorry to hear that.

you can certainly do this. I didn't try this with the tunze ato as the pump for the tunze sits at the bottom of the reservoir which would eventually gum up the pump if you have all the kalk settling in there. I am not familiar with the jbj ato so maybe that is not an issue.

not to shatter your expectations, but the LFS will just sell the star to whoever wants it, even if that person is going to feed the star to their shrimp, or stick it in a tank that hasn't cycled, who knows. if you insist on ensuring a home for it - you're better off trying to find someone with...

pro: relatively cheap way (vs getting two part) for maintaining ph/alk. )btw I wouldn't necessarily set up kalk for small nanos as you can just use 2 part fine. The ROI doesn't make sense.) con: i have read about a few setups where the automated over-dosing of kalk causes a tank crash. i...

Nice to know Jim...thanks!

Marc was one of the first guys to talk up Macna and piqued my interest in it before we ever even hosted macna. Just too many things going on this year and I'd like to save up my cash.

no luck i don't have bio spira...but i'm in metuchen which is a short drive (Depending on how bad route 18 is) away.

dan go for it....it's a beauty.

LOL I was thinking that.

Should be fine. Now that i think about it I might have biospira from one of my macna good packs i never used. Does it expire? hmmm - i'll have to check. Where are you located? and yes adding biospira is fine while the fish are in there, ideally it goes in before.

the second thumbnail is nice but is that the same chalice you mentioned...it doesn't look red with yellow...

Because the anemones that are hosts for clownfish almost never replicate and clone like this, I gotta say this is some type of hitcher anemone that you really want to stop from replicating further. While it is not in the display yet (to your eyes) it may also have a foothold on LR in areas you...

I agree with paul - but the saving grace here is that at that size those two fish are not big producers of waste....YET. Is there anything else in the tank? Don't use strips - they are old school test methods that were ok for a gut-check, but precise measuring they are not good for. With new...

Besides breaking the LR down, the worst case scenario would be to add an octopus....:( but try the below...not done it myself and only read this online... 1 - 6" pice of stocking (i use the toe end and measure out) 4 - toothpicks 1 pc - shrimp, mussel, fish or whatever bait you want to use...

what kind of corals are in the tank? zoos etc aren't big on requiring calcium. Do you have monitpora caps or sps and are they growing? Good read: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/11/chemistry
