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.
Found these two books I no longer want. Mainly FW but one also has marine. The third is about chameleons. If any wants them LMK. Pickup or can bring Sat.
Hoping someone can answer.
1) Why does the RO/DI faucet connection leak by the hose and lock, see pic?
2) Dorso was making noise and cleared out salt creep from air vent. The skimmer is overflowing and sump level is high. I adjusted return pump flow it no good and was strong so dialed it...
That's funny as I noticed today that much of the back wall algae is flaking off floating around the tank.
Sand bed still a bit dirty but not like before. All I did was add a bag of carbon 2 or 3 days ago.
Thanks Edwin, I did a 3 day blackout with a dark sheet but no carbon. May consider longer and carbon if no improvement.
Did you feed fish / coral during the blackout?
I did use Chemiclean and it helped but still have them. I used Vibrant and not much help, same with peroxide dosing. Keeps it at bay but never kills it and if I stop dosing it gets worse.
I dropped a water sample off at ACC and waiting a reply back.
Nikki, I tried several blackouts and no luck. Also, read it was from low nutrients stated to not perform water changes as it feeds the dinos. I just started running carbon again as I read it can help. Will see what happens.
Well that stinks. I lost mime too and believe it was because of the dino problem I have. I read dinos are toxic and any cleanup crew that eats it can die.
I bring water to ACC to be tested and waiting should be early next week. See what they suggest. My black is entire tank. Dark sheet over tank n lights. No other light can get through.
I have a Gyre on one side and an original single Koriala on other side. yesterday I swapped the single for a double Koriala I had.
Still water movement was fine all through the tank.
The sand bed is very low, jsut enough to cover the glass, as I never did believe in deep ones even when I did FW. I recently picked up 2 sand sifting stars to cleanup the sand as it was horrible and they helped a little. I have been having this issue for months so I can't blame the starfish.
Parameters are all in check. Only Nitrate a bit high .25
I believe the cause is low nutrients which for me is a joke. All my other thanks I had high phosphate but reading zero now.
I was dosing peroxide weekly but doesn't seem to be effective so stopped.
Just went to feed the fish and low and behold I have red slime on some sand and rocks. My yellow Watchman Goby is dead, upside down behind a rock in back. Can see it but cannot get to it to take out. I just added Chemiclean and started a 3 day blackout. I have no idea why I having this algae...
If the tank was built for reptiles its not good as the glass is very thin. If it was an actual fish tank used for reptiles check the silicone is missing sections and clean with bleach or vinegar, rinse and dry.
