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.
I had this problem with my 45g recently. I took the rocks out and scrubbed the algae off, rinsed clean and replaced. Did a water change, added phosban media to HOB filter and started dosing magnesium. I have a small bit but its manageable for now. You will need to do water changes as you see the...
A brain would be nice. Picked up a heater for my tank and set it for 77 degrees. I must have hit the dial during install because last night the temp was 93. I lost about 2 dozen snails and hermits, mushrooms melted and small rock of zoas are questionable. Also, lost a dottyback and seahare.
I have had fresh water fish since I was a kid and started a salt tank 15 years ago, fish only. I didn't have a tank all the time as life gets in the way. I am back in the hobby as of this summer after a 3 year hiatus. Its a much smaller tank but easier to manage for me.
What really stinks for me is my phone broke so picked up a Windows phone cheap as I was in a pinch. The thing is horrible cannot download any apps cause they are for Android or Apple. I need Santa to bring me a new phone for XMAS.
I still have the Coralife 125 super skimmer. Needs a very good cleaning and pump.
Also, 55g tank with metal stand. The top brace is broken on the tank.
I use to have a sump and reactor for GFO. Now my tank is much smaller and all I have is a skimmer and HOB with a phosphate sponge in nylon bag. My question is since I have left over GFO can I use it in a nylon bag inside the HOB filter?
Thanks
