I have an Eshopps RS-1 sump, so not much room. The middle chamber houses my skimmer so no space there.
However, there is a section where you place black sponges, bubble trap I assume, just before return chamber.
Can I remove the sponge and use the plastic screen as an algae scrubber? Would get a...
No fish. They actually seem okay just some corals look horrible. Waiting for tank to stabilize a bit before moving corals. Temp seems to low so increased it a bit.
I agree maybe add power head to dissolve then remove. Hopefully at noon I can start the transfer.
Temp is at 77 degrees this morning.
It looks like the salt from the prepackaged SW did not completely dissolve. The tank s bare bottom and I see white.
Don't have a small power head to circulate. My Koriala would be way to big for it.
Any suggestions?
10g all setup.
Small HOB filter, empty at the moment. Just to circulate water.
Heater set at 80.
Cheap led light overhead.
Will check temp and Salinity tomorrow before tranferring.
Going thru my paper trail I can only assume I messed up on calcium dosing. I tested at one point and tank was absorbing 5ml every 2 weeks, so I dosing that. Guess at some point absorption slowed down. I drop dose alk with baking soda method. I have stopped all dosing obviously.
Thanks Mark. More concerned about the birds best and nem. The acro i don't think I can get up off the rock.
I have a 10g that I could use. Just need to mix up water. Not sure all would fit.
Still no clue how this happened.
Finally tested and seems I have a big issue.
Test results below in ppm, API and Tetra kits.
Salinity 1.025
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0.05
Nitrate 0
PH 8.3
Calcium 800+, Tested 3xx
Alk 17dkh, Tested 2x
In the past water changes didn't lower calcium. I waited 2months for it to stabilize. I have not...
Well, asking here and web surfing seems pretty easy. Pull it out and cut with very sharp scissors or razor blade. Some people dip afterwards and then mount to frag plug/rubble.
All my frags were accodental like most in this hobby. :)
Not yet.
I don't have rocks to attach the frags to pus tank is diving fast.
If I do frag will bring to a meeting and then people will have to mount it themselves.
