If I were you I would ditch the 55 and get a drilled tank instead, or one with a build-in overflow. Used tank is cheap and is a very small part of the expense when it comes to reefing. It will save you all kinds of trouble down the road. Just my two cents.
@diana a Thanks. I have gone through Minh's thread and but still thought I could get away with not treating. I guess I was wrong. It looked ok but still. I tried to order from two website when it comes to placing the order it would ask for prescription. I actually got a prescription two years...
Nem has died. I will not get another carpet until I have acquired the proper medicine to treat it. I believe it is CIPRO but I do not have the prescription to buy it.
More filter feeds are added. Not strictly NPS but these will do which I build up the collection. The red chili coral seems to...
You seem to have one of the easy ones. Yeah try to keep parameter close to NSW. Also reading your post chemiclean could piss off it a little as well. Seeing you don't have a lot of corals in the tank easy off on the water changes as well. Use a salt mix close to NSW.
What they're saying is that the cone-shaped ones are difficult and the flat fragged ones are easier. What is your look a like? Base on my experience these corals is they like gentle indirect flow on the sand bed. Don't feed. Also I think the alkanity level does have an effect. In my two tanks...
I assume you also have a male :)
I ordered 5 peppermint shrimps for my NPS tank. I read they breed too and some fry (shrimplet?) might survive in a non predatory tank.
@diana a yes the sand arrived. right now the tank has 1" of sand. there are plenty of time when the nem kind of attached to the rock or glass but it released itself. I tried to move the nem to the right spot, stop the pump etc to give it time but no of the measures has worked.
The cup itself is not blocking the water at all neither does the bath scrubber. I have not touched it forever. I don't normally use floss just let the mulm setting in the sump.
I use the red sea one in my waterbox aquarium, it works great. I normally put in a bath mesh scrubber but use filter floss occasionally. Use only a thin layer otherwise it blocks really quick.
I can measure the size if you're not sure if it will fit.
The yellow sponges are everywhere. The tank is small a challenge for everything.
The lollipop tunicate are very cool looking, but expensive. The sea apple is interesting and LA has it in stock. Not sure if it will play nice with the haddoni.
