It certainly isn’t a bad smell, but acroporas deffinitly give off an odor. I love doing waterchanges and smelling the acros, makes me believe they are strong and healthy.
Certainly my corals give off a smell during my waterchange, and I can easily tell the difference between my two tanks when completely filled. The new tank smells like a fresh saltwater bucket that you can easily smell the salt. Where as the old biocube doesn’t smell like crap but it smells like...
Did you happen to ask why they did during thier 30 day quarantine? I would like to get fish from them especially some of the riskier ones so they don’t die from random infections like you get from other stores that don’t qt.
In my biocube I had one of my cc space cakes favia got completely stung to death by mushrooms since that tank is now a mushroom heaven. I took the skeliton of what was left of my favorite favia to the new tank and it seems to really love not getting stung. It started to sprout tissue out of some...
Mike you got the healthiest sand bed I have ever seen tho. I threw some of your sand in the tank in a corner and the starfish went straight over to it!! Thanks again for it!!!
No I’m not adding t-5 but I have the newer versions of the xr30 which my little cube just had an xr15. So I also need to find out what percentage I need to run the new ones at to match my 70 percent xr15
I am setting up a waterbox130.4 so it’s a 4 foot long tank and pritty deep as well. And I’m not sure yet since the state of the market and the current price of some fish are wack.
If you have the option, I would do a waterchange and save that waterchange water in a bucket with a air pump. Put the bucket infront of one of your vents to the house that pumps out heat if you don’t want to run a heater. Atleast you can then let the bacteria from the tank somewhat culture the...
If you ever go towards the coast I’m in brick and can cut you a frag of the fragfarmers Red Robin stag horn, this really bushy blue green tabling coral (I forgot the name) .
To be honest I do dislike having to use clip on filters for my phone to take pictures during actinics with leds, but my phone simply cannot register all the blue light like a larger camera does with plenty of editing. However getting the g5 blues over the big tank makes me regret not putting the...
Without the acros, the all for reef will be fine maybe just try 4 mls a day and then test and see where your levels fall. If your alkalinity is way lower or higher then your calcium then you will have to adjust using a two part to get it bumped back to the even range of you catch my drift. Then...
