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.
There are a couple online sponsors Tom and Faith have an online biz...listed at the bottom of our sponsor list. Their prices are pretty good. Premiumaquatics.com does group buys for us too so check them out the prices standard are good.
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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.
When you get 25 posts you can PM...designed to keep the sales guys from just swooping in and posting crap for sale. As you are aware we are a non profit organization so try to cut out that stuff as much as possible. Welcome to the board.
