finished making the bench I wanted to hide my ato and awc tanks, Made a control board, hung my lights, painted and put a door on my stand and set up my ATO and auto water change station. Super happy with how it came out.

So first I added the chemiclean. Left it in for 48 hours and did a 50% water change. Then I added the turbo snails. They put in some insane amount of work. Then after waiting for Chaeto to become available on Algae barn for like 2 weeks, I finally got it. Did a 25% water change and added both...

However, on the positive side during this time, I've been working on my main tank. Tidying it up. I had a really bad hair algae outbreak along with cyano outbreak. Completely covering everything. I figured I finally got a sump, it's time to set up a refugium.

So a little update. I got the fish switched over to the new tank at the end of July. Unfortunately, I guess ich was in the system but not able to attack the fish due to whatever reason. But the stress from the move to the new tank might've been enough to stress them out. Tank has now been fallow...

Both api and the test strips are the worst for saltwater. However, while cycling, the api test kits will work well enough for you to cycle. After that, I recommend getting something like red Sea, salifert, hanna or nyos

Just tape a picture of your hand to the side of the glass. I heard it works

Put her in a time out lol. Throw her in the sump. Give your elegance time to get better

On Do you have a spare tank laying around? You could always just put them in a 40b for now. I'm pretty sure Petco is currently having their sale

What else do you think you have? TTM is only for about 14 days. The fish will be fine in a smaller tank for that amount of time (just think of the size of the tank when they're being sold). I'm not saying you need to do it exactly how I did. You can always go bigger or multiple containers at a...

You would want to make sure your water temp and salinity match so you just scoop the fish and drop. Minimal stress since the environments are basically identical between the 2. As one of your "systems" is running, you sanitize the previous one by cleaning everything with vinegar or bleach. And...

The thing with TTM is that you're switching tanks every 72 hours (it's vital that you do not pass 72 hours or else you have to reset) so ammonia doesn't have enough time to build up. And if you're worried about it, you can always add prime since there's no medication in the water to make it...

I bought: 2 of those clothes storage containers from target(they hold about 10g each). 2 air pumps Air Tubing A bunch of air stones 2 heaters. 2 thermometers That's all you need.

1 lawnmower blennie 1 longnose hawk Clownfish pair Yellow watchman goby Yellow coris and Royal flasher Wrasse

Ich won't harm any inverts. But they can be carriers of it. Leave them in the DT and don't add anything to the tank for the rest of the fallow period which is generally 72-80 days. (I'm going with 80 to be safe).

So I'm currently in the process of dealing with ich myself. I've done tons of research. I had 2 wrasses. Unfortunately they don't do well with copper treatment. I started out that way and lost one of my 2 wrasses. I would very highly suggest doing the tank transfer treatment. Absolutely no types...

I use to use the Viparspectra on my 20g. It was a good light. Was able to keep everything up to an anemone. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the size and color spectrum with the lack of being able to control it

Like I said, I have mine in a 40B which is 36 in long. It's a wide pattern. I recommend getting the 20s because with the 10s, you're gonna need to have them set way higher which, for obvious reasons, reduces the pumps life. (just like every other brand, it's better to have more available, dialed...

I have 2 on my 40B and it's plenty of wide flow. They're set to about 1/4 of the way rn to random, master and slave mode. I highly recommend. Can't beat them for the price

BRS I believe did an episode where they talked about UV and found that UV does not affect the good bacteria in our tanks. This is because the beneficial bacteria that we DO want in our tanks live on surfaces like our rock, sand, glass and equipment and are not free floating. Because of this, UV...

So while my tank is in its fallow period, I figured it would be a good time to add pods and allow them to multiply without predators. I was wondering, would filter socks cause them to get stuck when going down the overflow? The socks are the 200m ones. (I do also have red Sea filter cups...
