Have you worked out who would be your suppliers? Not only for livestock but also for dry goods? I think a better entry into the aquatics field is tank maintenance (at least I have seen that said). I could be wrong, but I think that is the better margin business. I think you should look at...
I have the fluval M90 and it was a great entry point into the hobby, but to be honest you did the right thing in my opinion. I am constantly not trusting the equipment and thinking about replacing it. Aka the light is annoying and manual. The protein skimmer is not producing already thinking...
If I had to guess over feeding as a newbie lead to a build up of nutrients. Plus the tank is maturing. I have cut back the feeding and might need to do more. Lighting and skimmer is a concern, because that is the hardest spot to get up to speed. The light and skimmer comes with the unit...
nice write up - thanks
somehow I dosed up my mg to 1600- so hopefully there is a positive effect. (moral of the story don't be lazy to test bc you think your usage is dialed in)
I am going to do a water change tonight (did one Sunday)
I am starting to get some type of sponge growing maybe...

I have two power heads - I think I have pretty good flow to most areas that said maybe I should direct them down a little more? I have definitely decreased nutrients and give the gravel a good vacuuming. I am wondering if it is worthwhile for me to do my water change today go lights out 3...
Thanks all- I don't have a very sophisticated setup - and only a few frags as I am new and just starting out. I think I can coach someone up. I do wonder how the big tanks do it. I am really looking for to the next meeting I think I can make it
I have a 36 gallon fluval M90 tank (AIO)
I am a newbie
I think was a big over feeder and I have cut that way back. I went lights out 3 days a week ago and it disappeared. Now it is back. I did my weekly 10 gallon water change and sucked most of it up, but it is getting its footing...
I am going to go away the end of May for 10 day vacation, and was wondering if you folks had any advice for vacation prep.
I wanted to see if anybody sees something I am missing
I will have some we visit every few days-
1. Check Top water make sure it is sufficient
2. Dump skimmer collection...
Kilz - great idea will definitely do it
I keep having this dream of a prefectly balance system with a great refugium. Anyone have success with refugium?
I am also toying with doing two 40s side by side with a share 55g sump under. lots of thoughts swimming around lol.
