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.
The only one written in stone is a Long Nose Yellow Butterfly. I didn't even know I had an aptasia problem until this guy died. Never say one because he'd eat them. I now have maybe 50 or more. So the new guy will be fed well for some time.
I'd also like a dwarf angel.....I had a Coral...
I'm in the process of setting up this RKL on my Quarantine Tank and must admit, the Basic ReefKeeper Lite is the ideal controller for a QT tank. It has four outlets, just enough for the lights, powerhead, filter and heater.
And the simplicity of setting it up can be beat!
So it sounds like you've already removed any varnish or lacquer. The following came from a steampunk website:
Using heat with vinegar gives a rapid result.
To get a "natural" aged brown brass finish with vinegar and heat:
1, Pour some vinegar into a plastic container and add a tablespoon...
Jon, if you're going to Sunny's sometime soon, please swing by here and take two lights over to him.....and pick up some stuff from Sunny for me too. Thanks.
I see you have a lion fish and eel on your wish list. Note lions don't do well in copper, and eels are as good as dead in copper.
I would highly suggest that you set up a QT tank for any future additions. Lions and eels can be treated for ick using CP.
Please slow down.
Where are you located?
Sump directly below tank or in a basement?
Internal or External pump?
I have two external pumps that might work:
Gen-X PCX 40 $110
Pan World NH-50PX-X $125
Thanks all for the responses! I too am thinking it doesn't need to be kept wet. When I picked this RKL up the probe not only was totally dry.....and that way for months, but also totally encrusted with dead coralline....including up over the top, onto the wire. This told me that it was...
Thanks everyone for the kind words.....but everything turned out well.
So the reason for that hole was so that I could get my hand into the left side of the back side of my tank. With the cabinet on the left, I can't access the left back side of my tank.
So the hole now allows me to put...
If everything is looking good, I wouldn't do a large water change. Just continue doing normal water changes and let it come down slowly. No more dosing calcium until it is needed.
I just had a great DOH! moment with my tank. I was drilling a 3 1/2 inch hole in the back wall of my canopy and trying to keep both hands on the drill, while I held the vacuum to catch the sawdust. I've used this bit a bunch of times and knew I'd get a kick once the teeth hit the wood...
So let's move forward......
What is going to be critical now is maintaining therapeutic levels of copper. You'll need to test frequently to make sure you're maintaining these levels. Dependent on the type of copper, you'll need to have a test kit to measure that type of copper. Seachem...
