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.
Aquatic Obsessions should be pretty close to you and I know they carry the ATI t5 bulbs. There are plenty of online places that carry them as well and I am sure some other sponsors. I just know AO because i was there yesterday and they have the 36 inch bulbs.
I would look at 3 blue plus, 1...
The watts per gallon rule kind of fell by the wayside a few years ago. The new number everyone uses is PAR. Under t5s you should have no problem with the LPS, in fact they will probably thrive under it. Plates should be on your sand bed anyways so it should be fine, you can shade it under...
I live less than 5 minutes from Paul and as of now I am registered for the meeting. If anything that can fit into an audi a4 convertible needs to go, I can bring it (this is of course barring any great thing that would prevent me from going to the meeting).
We moved some things around and our helfrichi pair out of nowhere decided to start fighting. We dont' know if we shifted their bolt hole or what but the aggression started. We had some old shot glasses laying around so we through a couple in there to give some extra hiding places. I don't...
Unfortunately the april event got wiped with the site crash but I will give a refresher to how we ran the frag lotto then. I fully intend on having the same thing this year but if we want to tweak it then so be it.
Rules of the frag lotto (I am pulling these from memory so if I am a bit off...
Looks like cyano, we got it when we got some direct sunlight and temp issues. Having no flow there will always make it a problem algae spot as detritus will settle there. If you can't fix it with a powerhead, blast it with a turkey baster to clean it up. Siphon as much out as you can and keep...
1.03 isn't great but it is not terrible. When we were running HOB everything and were topping off by hand, our salinty could hover there for a few days. I usually just corrected it when I did the weekly water change.
When we moved we were setting up two brand new tanks that had never had water in them. We called Ethan at AO and he came down to do the plumbing and what not to setup the new tanks. I would highly recommend him for doing this. However, it sounds like if you are just moving your tank and...
Is it possible at all to take your refugium off line? Just throw a power head and heater in there and let it run while you are treating the rest of the tank? This would give you a safe haven for all your inverts and would not affect your pod population during the treatments. The basic dosing...
