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.
So I went into my fridge to grab my phyto to dose and when I opened it up for the first time it smelled like rotten eggs unlike the other one that smelled like algae. So unfortunately the entire culture is no good. Can I still feed this culture or should I chuck it. I have 2 cultures of Mercer...
Gotcha, that’s a good idea. Last time I was in there the tanks were covered in every type of algae known to saltwater as well as dead fish. I hope they take better care of the new system.
My buddy just sent me a picture of Toms River Petco. Everything by the tanks is taken down. They look like they are doing demolition. Could they be remodeling like Brick or my guess is scrapping the saltwater section since it never looked any good
Question about clowns and their anemones? I have a small bubble tip that my clown hosts. Clown actually larger than anemone. My question is will they defend their host from coral encroachment. I put a forest fire digi near the anemone and my clown went nuts. She started to attack the digi. She...
So now I find out they denied my insurance claim for reimbursement that I paid extra for after they screwed up delivery! Go figure. Patiently waiting for the letter they are sending for their reason. Should be interesting.
Site has some nice fish but most are out of stock right now. Bummer. It’s so hard to find a Foxface right now. My buddy has an order with sea dwelling creatures for a Foxface and a flame angel for me but need a to wait until he needs more fish since shipping is so much.
How old is your tank? Hard to tell with algae. Does it have bubbles on the end and what color is it?
Best bet of identifying is through a microscope to be positive.
Worm no clue could be a baby bristleworm
Yes I am gonna see what it will do for me. Believe it or not I have been dosing phyto every night and scrubbing rocks, keeping phosphates amd nitrates up and today there wasn’t really any “snot” on my rocks this has been ongoing for a couple weeks. I know I did not win yet.
I see many plumb...
Yes you are right. That diagram needs some tweaking. I raised my pump
to see if my manifold can handle. I was able to get 248 gph which should be enough. I think I’m gonna dump it back into the return section instead. If I see a noticeable difference then I may plumb back into display. The way...
Forgive me for my poor artist rendering but I will try to explain. What I plan on doing is running a Uv off of my return pump. I am going to install on 1/2 pvc line on manifold that has a flow meter from there it will flow through the Uv light and back into a T on the main return line sending...
Will the sally lightfoot eat your corals or fight with my shrimp? I currently have a fighting conch with about 10-15 Trochus snails. Should I add an urchin to help? Mickey also sent me info on the Coral Vue 6x turbo twist Uv on sale at Chewys. Might pick that up also
Here’s the tank parameters as of right now
Lighting schedule as of right now is AP700 900-1800 ramps down at 2100 with no moonlight. Currently turned off both Hydras. I read water changes are a no with dinos. I feed live phyto almost every night to try and outcompete the Dinos. I’m sure a lot...
