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.
This was sold to me as a rose Mille but as it has grown I think it’s a “spath”, a much rare species in the aquarium. They normally come in as wild colonies with names like “devils finger”, “dragon scale”. Hard to keep I was told but mine is an exception. Most will not realize their true color...
The clam is doing well. It probably reached it's max size, about 3/4". I do not use filter socks so my water has more particles in it than usually. Good idea to get a bottle of phyto for the tank it should be good for the clam and the tank also.
Tank has been doing good. Slow growth but the colors are pretty spot on.
Been testing ALK every couple of days. Running at 6.6 dKH now and the tank is consuming .4 dkh/day. These Hanna ALK checkers are as painless as it can be.
Tested PO4 today and have not done so for quite a well. Partly...
Ecotech battery is 18ah lead acid. It will run for a few hours depending what you have it hooked up to. So extended power outage you better off with a generator.
Ecotech battery pack is a joke for the amount of power it provides and super expensive. Lead acid batteries have maybe a 3 year life so the battery probably already dead.
I had a Honda 2000 watts it worked great and sips gas. Should be enough to power your tank forever. For emergency power a...
Not an engineer and I am sure the floor won't collapse right away. But still I would not do it. I would get a frag tank with similar footprint but less weight.
Heaters and small power head, all work. $5 each.
Marineland reef light $30
Radion hanging kit 30”. $60
AI prime hd with gooseneck, used 6 months, $160.
pick up Aberdeen or Livingston.
If it does work I would do a follow up dose. I think once it's gone it will stay gone for at least a while allowing the eco system to re-balance itself. Once the GHA is gone in my tank I see the regular green algae to grow a lot fast on the glass and even diatoms. and the nutrient no longer...
I had green hair algae in my current tank (about 15 months old) so I feel your pain. Only thing worked for me long term is flux rx. I have used it twice. The first time it was good for six months then GHA slowly came back but a second dose wiped them out. Flux RX can work slowly, up to 2 to 3...
