Any idea why my western digital external hard drive won't show up when I plug it in? It shows up in devices but I can't open it like I can my c drive and can't find a way to format it. It was formatted to my Xbox last if that makes a difference
So my journey continues at this point, though things have not been going the way they should. I have not been active as of late, i apologize. The reason is that i found out i have a 5th kid on the way, and i've been working 12.5 hour days, and i no longer work from home. As to the tank, about a...
For fish it won't matter, coral it will, if they are selling coral they either got lucky or they aren't in the tank long enough to really effect the coral, mine declined over 3 months. A bottle of 35ppt solution from brs is like 8 bucks, it's cheap and can save you a headache
Don't use ro water, you want to use calibration solution as close to the salinity that you shooting for that you can get. I used to water on mine at first, couldn't figure out why my coral were slowly dying, come to find out my salinty was 1.023 after correcting with the proper calibrating...
Is it a hang on back or in sump? My hang on back one I had leak onto an outlet before, I moved it to the other side. In sump you should be able to control any overflow, mine has done it a few times in the past.
Just a shout out to @PacificEastAquaculture , just picked up 16 acros, 5 chalices, a wall hammer and a elegance coral, all arrived well, I'll get some picks up once everyone acclimated and comes out, just about filled the tank with that order. Tank is starting to chug along nicely, no more stn...
Your coral will slowly recede, even when they look happy with polyps out, I had an issue with my coral slowly dying off, it would take 3-5 months but they would slowly recede and die, found out my refractometer was off and my salinity was 1.022, upped the salinity and it took care of the issue
If I'm not mistaken it's some type of carbon blend for the tank like vodka dosing, the most I've ever dosed my 135 was 4-5ml, 30 ml right from the start will cause a bacterial bloom with the excess carbon
Got some new stuff from the coral swap in Delaware, the orange meat coral, rainbow torch, it's yellow and green with purple tips, really nice, a hammer that I'm hoping will color up into a yellow hammer, my ice fire echinata, red dragon colony and some unknow acro, I'll see what it turns out to...
