Did some tank maintenance, pump cleaning, etc with citric acid etc, and also tied in my 35 gallon frag tank yesterday which was also cleaned with muriatic acid. Anyway.
All corals were fine this morning but my ALK dropped from the usual 8.8 to 7.2 overnight. Sure it was the acid or baking soda...
What do people use as shroom baskets on the bottom of the tank?
Would something like this work, I have several loose shrooms too. Will they blow out? Thoughts....
When I had my coral banded shrimp, I occasionally would see a small one here or there, but this guy. Had to share.
Quart sized pitcher for reference.
Normal bristle also included.
After 6 hours of running in citric acid. Just a little brushing. But came off so easy. So clean and fresh. Sure 3 months from now, it will be a much quicker soak to clean em up.
Actually while discussing with Sump n Fish, he asked if I did the deep cleaning after we picked up the tank in November. I did not. So 14 months for me.
The prior owner was a major slacker when coming to going above and beyond, and he had it for 6 months from the original owner.
Mike can...
Soaking the circulation pumps overnight. If this all goes well, will do the return pump tomorrow with muriatic acid, which will take much less time.
I do have a back up if things go bad.
The silver lining to this Thunderstorm and Clouds is after the disappointment of not getting the replacement electronics, I took my drawer out to give it a cleaning and test all the outlets and connections. Initially 7 of the 14 outlets were not working properly.
I found a damaged wire and some...
Update.
I opened the eBay claim when the seller would not refund the $130 as requested.
Didn't wanna settle for the damaged item.
3days later, no contact from seller, so escalated the claim and eBay almost immediately closed the case and basically are forcing the return acceptance and refund...
Sooooo. Busy again playing with the tank.
As mentioned in another thread, I tried upgrading my red sea s500 power center, but it arrived damaged and only resolution was.to open a case and return it for a full refund.
Good news is after the disappointment of not getting the replacement...
