Throwing this out there for advice. I am to the point that I think I might have room for one more fish. MIGHT. Plenty of room in the 48x24x16 and probably a total water volume (including sump of 85-90 gallons) My current stocking is as follows:
Fire Shrimp
Coral Banded Shrimp
Tiger Pistol...
Been a while. Figured I would post a picture and an update. Overall things are stabilized. Had to start dosing potassium Nitrate and Tridodium phosphates via ATO as i could not keep the Cheato and the Protein Skimmer from sucking out EVERYTHING. Still working on keeping it from giving wild...
They can be used for that...i see two problems. Nothing insurmountable but would be my considerations
1. You need a separate sensor
2. Volume. Many dosers would have problems keeping up with high volumes of evaporation.
Morning everyone. I have a Hygger dosing pump that is out of the box new but never have been used other than that to test calibrate it. Nothing wrong with it to the best of my knowledge as it has sat on my shelf for 4 months. I might have the hoses..i might not...but everything else is in...
I recently did a WWC live sale and bought a mystery sps frag box. Got a few that I am willing / want to trade. I am actually not perfectly sure of the name. I went through the live sale and tried to identify them based on what I have...but really tough to be perfect given coloration and...
Ok. Finally the slime has cleared up. Don’t know what it was but I kept having to siphon it out. Tank running pretty well
now for my next review: the trigger system emerald 34 sump. I got this as a slightly blemished from trigger directly so good deal and I can’t find what is wrong with it...
I got a reasonable deal on a pair of reefwave 45s as they were too big for his tank but outside return window. I only need one but figured I could spread the wealth if someone is interested. Selling reefwave 45 for 250 or 225 and some random euphullyia, Millie , montipora, or acropora frag...
Is it just me or is everyone else just as disappointed in the Memorial Day sales? Very few places were running sales on the in demand hardware. There were a couple of sales for non MAP items, but jeez. I guess the reef manufacturers are so in demand that sales aren’t necessary.
I use cheato and dose potassium nitrate. Keeps phosphates undetectable not to mention just enough nitrates to say I have some. Never made sense to me until I found out that cheating takes up nitrate faster than phosphate. As such, I dosed nitrate to cheato will take up both fast. Love it
Having a little set back. Some white slime goo keeps generating. I keep siphoning it out but it keeps coming back. I took out my sacrificial hammer frag wondering if it is just pumping out slime. I don’t know. Just slimming faster that I can clean it. Thoughts?
Man was I spoiled with my herbie on my nano. I have been futzing with this duroso drain for hours trying to get the flow just right. With the herbie, if too much flow it just hits the emergency drain. Here too much flow it over flows the tank. Too little flow is is obnoxiously loud. The...
