There was a mini food fight :o in my house at lunch and I just realized that one of the burgers was floating in my tank. I'm in the middle of doing a good sized water change right now. What else should I do? I'm going to test the nitrates in a min at post those. I'm just worried about the...
I figured the used water, rubble from my sump, and LR would be enough bacteria. Also put a clump of cheto in there as well for good messure.
Thanks. :D
As far as loosing water I took mnat suggestion and put the glass cover(does that block any light?) on it to help with evaporation, but I...
Well I got the go ahead from the misses. So here it is.
The sand is new(rinsed for about 10 min), One rock is new, the other is LR from my tank, 75% of the water is from my Coral tank, and the HOB filter is full of rubble rock from my sump. Should this be good to go or will it go through a cycle?
Is the lighting t5HO or just regular T5's? Does a 10 gal need that type/much of lighting to have corals?
Figures. The prettier they are the harder they are to keep.
A gallon a week is less than I was thinking, but I guess thats about right for such a small tank. As far as corals I was going to put some mushrooms and a small kenya in there. For the bottom would it be better as a bare bottom or should I do a sand bed? Havent given fish a thought yet because...
Want to start up a 10 gal for my daughter so I can take my 40 pillar back. My only delema is my wife said I would have to use equiptment we have and can't buy anything new. So I'm wondering if I can get away with no skimmer if I do weekly water changes. Also will a 2 bulb 24watt t5ho fixture be...
I think if the 2 damsels and Goby Co-exist thats going to be the extent of her fish. She still has her 2 stars and a anemone. That should be good enough for her anyway. Maybe I'll get her another nem but thats about it. The only reason she got the goby was a kind of replacement for her eel...
well I went home for lunch and the new stripe doesn't look like its going to make it. I did separate it in a breeder box now. As for the domino it seems like it is being tolarated as it looks fine and the striped isn't chasing it at all. I guess if the striped makes it, it might be my sump...
The PO4 was high at 0.35 but thats still an improvement from the unreadable results that is in my tank. As far as the salinity I've been lowering it with water changes with lower salinity. As far as refractomerters go is...
Would it be okay in a sump? Its only about 4" deep. Out side of that I'd have to return them back to the store, but I have a feeling they would just continue to get beat up since they are in bad shape already.
Is there anyway to curve damsel aggression. I had a striped damsel for quite some time as the only fish in the tank(since the eel died) and desided to add more. I added another striped and a domino damsel to the tank yesterday(both larger than the original) and he whooped them soooo bad. Is...
Picked up a purple tip condy nem for the non coral tank. Looks pretty cool. The only wierd thing was the damsel didn't seem to thrilled because it kept smacking it with its tail, but then again it also attacks the magnetic glass cleaner any time it moves.

Well I think it was on either the attack or defencive because it was back to normal today and I moved it to give it a little more breathing room and rather than deflating like normal corals do when you touch them it swelled up again. This time it deflated after about an hour so I think all is...
