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.
I tend to agree you shouldn't have bubbles. Try putting some foam around the intake. Try turning off the skimmer for a bit to see if that is it. Finnally probably it is what George is saying and you have a tiny leak in the return somewhere pulling the air in.
If you can set a return pump up...
Cute little tang...guy is smaller then the firefish.:encouragement:
Don't worry about him being a problem at the moment, you have a while before he is too big.
On another note the ceramic rings need to go...that is probably the source of your nitrates and ammonia. Do water changes till you get...
Even if you don't change fixtures buy couple better bulbs.
Go with 2 ATI blue plus, one Aquasun, and one actinic bulb.
The Aquasun and ATI blue pluses have great par and actinic is just for color more than anything...but get a good quality bulb in any case like ATI, UVL or Geissman that will...
A lot of aggression depends on how territorial the fish is...I had a bicolor pseudocromis from a 10G-24G-120G the bigger the tank the less annoying he was. By the time he got to the 120 he was a reasonable fish. I use the term loosely but he was better. So fish size isn't the only thing...
PS I assume you don't see any issues with the fish in QT. I have used tank water to move my salinity up with no issues. Your tank water is very light bio load and you can save a few bucks that way. I would in the past do my 10 % water changes with water from my tank...it moves the salinity at...
I would say it looks pretty darn good to be honest. Think you did the right thing taking it off the PH. And it isn't bleached so that is good. Great job with everything!!!!:applause:
Hey welcome aboard.
I am going to say some things that may be opposite of what you are suggesting.
I started with a 24G Aquapod an AIO tank.
I wish I had gone with a non all in one tank either a 45G cube(mnat suggested) or a 30G ...that was reef ready...
I pay 190 for my fios. 3 boxes with whole house DVR all movies channels 35/up and download speeds. Plus international plan that allows my wife like 300 minutes to Italy for 5bucks. I have had great experience with customer service. Recently I called with question about service/pricing and...
Can you flip the two fixtures. The way you have it now the LEDs hit the top rocks and that is it. If you moved them to the front they would be over the deeper corals and the back could be the T5. Wouldn't be a problem for the T5 to be higher because you won't loose that much par in the air ...
