I want to get cabinentry done around my tank but the look im going for is always outside my budget or skill level. I want a wirebrushed white oak stand and canopy with a 4" butcher block of marble(porceilin slab)
Removed UV for 2 weeks and too my suprise the fish didnt get any ich. I decided the jebao UV had worked for 4 years and when i smelled burning didnt want to take the chance
I have to make some plumbing modifications and 1.5" unions are pricy now.
Anyone have a good trick to remove and reuse all these fittings? I have a rotary bit and wondering if i could cut them out or boil them. I never used primer on these joints
Tanks seems to be getting better but lost alot of expensive frags including all of those 4 higher end acros. They just bleached and stn on me.
I know i transfered the problem to my QT by using main display water to add nutrients to the frag tank. Noticed issues soon after
Finally got around...
I stopped feeding garlic as of yesterday. Par range is 100 on the bottom and 200 around top of aquascape.
Good point on the camera, it could just be the Uchin stabbing everyone, which is common but shouldnt be an issue since the corals are experiencing some sensitivity to getting light. I did...
Yeah I did the same thing as you. I can't believe no one is selling clean aquacultured LR yet. in the past i never had hair algae issues, dinos, bacterias blooms, uglies, etc because I always seeded with at least 10 LB of good Liverock that was taken from the ocean and it spread to the dry rock...
So I checked the one zoa that I moved back into QT yesterday and its doing much better. Its not struggling to open up.
This is my theory:
I've observed some sandy like substrate in my tangs poop, I figured it was just sand but i have barebottom and noticed more white particles on the bottom...
I thought about the icp test but gonna wait probably few weeks out to rule this garlic thing. I'm almost certain it's that bc my corals are used to high phosphates. I am hoping it's no some metals creeping out of this dense Marshall Island rock
So I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out whats causing mostly all my corals lack of PE. I get it acros do that but never seen it on Zoas, LPS, and stylos, (the acans, encrusting montis dont seem to mind). I decided to put some new corals from QT in the display to see how they would...
So no updates really besides I am having a lot of New tank problems. I thought adding LR to the sump would save me sometime but it didnt.
First few weeks of adding LPS and zoas all was good, and then i skrewed up by pushing the T5 lights on time to get acros in the tank. Anyways, the zoas and...
something like this would work but it would look goofy. Even a simple piece of plastic on either side of the seaswirl nozzel may solve the problem. The nozzels can support their weight but its when they are sleeping near the nozzels path that it gets loose and falls. I have about 1400gph coming...
