    Tank automation ideas

    I am leaving Sunday so I feel your angst. :-X ATO I have taken care of and while last year I had someone do my top offs I don't think I want it have anyone do it and overall it is much easier, a great upgrade. I don't have a dolly but do have two brutes for water one salt one fresh that are...

    No the salinity works by interupting the life cycle of the parasite. It cannot live in one of its forms at that salinity so you need to keep it there until you are sure that you have completely eliminated it. I would suggest 3 weeks either after the last outbreak or 3 weeks after you start then...

    I would suggest picking up the seaweed with the garlic in it. I don't know which one it is Will just pointed it out to me the first time. Plus this will give your tang an additional food group. I mix the selcon with the mysis that I feed. I actually use it almost daily, ie when I am not in a...

    You should be good with that. Certainly I don't see any specific problem.

    Be prepared for the hippo to get ich, they all do I think. Look at lowering your salinity to deal with it 1.009-10(gradual from LFS water to there try no more then 3 points a day). Give the guy a boost for his immune system with garlic and selcon with his nori/mysis. Then 3 weeks minimum after...

    Sunny's 150 Gallon

    Looks great. I am one of those equipment junkies so if you would take some sump pictures for us that would be super. Like your collection of fish too. Don't know why it doesn't say you are a NJRC member, will get you some discounts so is to your benifit to get it up there.

    New nano now what to do with it??

    A 6x36W T5 is going to let you keep just about anything, it is over 5.5W/G lighting. I would go with that as the heat issues are going to be too great with MH...I agree it was overkill IMHO. It is fairly narrow so a Tek light might be little wide...just thought of something you might want to...

    Skimmer is electrocuting the tank

    If the skimmer is under warrentee just get a new one as you probably will void the warrentee using silicone on it. Sorry to hear your trouble. Hanging a bag of carbon will help even without a reactor, try to get some flow over/through it.

    My fish list

    I would skip the mandarin completely as your angel and jawfish are going to be major competition for food. Otherwise looks good.

    Peaceful, Non-jumpin and schooling fish that wont overrun a 40G

    Anything chased can jump. I have lost two fish in a year...firefish and a pygmy angel. One a known jumper one not. You can only minimize your losses by keeping the fish that are not known to jump or fish that are not terrorized by the fish you have. I am guessing that one of my tangs got upset...

    What up

    Small angels I agree become less agressive in larger tanks, also I think as someone suggested their picking is so widespread that they don't bother any one thing. I had a pygmy angel and once in a while you would see him pick some coral then move on to pick something from the rock 30 times.

    Blue or green chromis will do it. Maybe chalk bass.
