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.
Back in the day I had a basement system and a dedicated tank growing cheato. It worked really well. But I would not grow cheato in the sump. Too messy because of the lighting. I like a clean sump.
When dosing carbon cyano is part of the game. This happens when the phosphate is dropped to zero...
You can order from KPAquatics. They collect fish in Florida. When I dove in the Carribeans Neon gobies are everywhere. They have a mated pair now for $40. Singles are $16.
I found the eheim feeder just feed too much for a small tank. Depending on the fish you most likely don't need to feed for a week. When I am not home I try to keep the tank equipment as simple as possible to avoid any failures.
You can't get natural tonga branches anymore. So you will need to wait for people to break down tanks that has tonga's in them. It's difficult to aquascape tonga too.
I plan to keep easy corals. If it's SPS then it would be caps, birdnests and digis. Both are designed with SPS in the back and LPS in front. The first one has more space to mount corals but the second one has more room for growth. For example some monti cap can grow into the open space...
Haha I am taking orders :)
Now that I know what can be done I will do another one and see which one I like. I have enough materials to do at least one more. I am perusing the web for inspirations and this time it will be one piece.
Yes the corals are free. I can take the blenny and some dragon breath as well. I no longer have Tangs so should be able to keep some macros in the display.
Did some research. this fish is better suited with bigger and more aggressive tanks. will pass.
Did you want some corals from me? I have some GSP and Zoas. Can meet you @livingston free of charge.
