Want to trade a almost brand new hanna nitrates checker. I’ve only used it about five times. There is plenty of regent left in this. It cost me $50 a month ago
Want to trade an unopened brand new 60 gram jar of reef roids and a 90% full jar or reef roids polyp...
Ive had a three headed ricordea on a disc for the last couple months in my tank. When I came home from work today one piece has removed itself from the disc and moved onto a piece of live rock next to it. Has anyone ever experienced this before? See pic below...
Looking for some advice. My tank is 9 months old and I have approximately 80 gallons of water. It’s a 65 gallon tank with a 29 gallon sump. In my sump I have 10lbs of miracle mud, some rubble rock and chaeto. I run carbon in my filter sock and rowa phos in between the baffles in my sump. I...
I’m looking to buy myself a booster pump for my ro/di unit. My water pressure is low and it takes me about three hours to make 5 gallons of clean water. So here is my question: should I buy the aquatec 6800 with or without a pressure switch. Its only a $20 difference but I’m not sure if I...
About six weeks ago I converted my sump into a refugium. I added ten pounds of miracle mud, A few pounds of some dry rubble rock, some chaeto and I have an 18 watt rose colored led bulb.
At first I ran the light 24 hours a day and found that I was growing more green hair algae than anything...
About a month ago I converted my 29 gallon sump into a refugium. In the center chamber of the sump I put 10 lbs of miracle mud, 3 lbs of dry rubble rock and a fist full of chaeto. My light is an 18 watt rose colored led light that are supposed to be great for growing algae. I run my light 24...
I have a liquigen 75 GPD rodi unit. I just bought and installed all new replacement filters from liquigen for the whole unit. After letting the system flush itself out for a few hours I tested the water with my TDS pen and it was reading zero. So I made 20 gallons of water for a water change...
I just got my TDS pen and took some readings on my water. Water straight from the tap is reading 300 PPM and water through my rodi unit is 230 PPM. This seems high to me and is probably because I had the hoses incorrectly hooked up for the first five months. I’m thinking that I need to change...
So, I have found it tough to keep my tank cool on these very hot days. It has been hovering around 80 at any given time. My tank is located upstairs and the AC is always set on 74. My heater is unplugged, my led lights are about 10 inches above the water and are only on for eights hours a day...
So I’ve been stuggling with hard water and I’m looking for suggestions. My alkalinity about a month ago was 14. I had it tested by TSM aquatics. Following the guidance of TSM Aquatics I started doing 15 gallon water changes once a week to try and lower it slowly. My tank and sump hold roughly...
Looking to buy a protein skimmer that will handle about 80 gallons of water. If you have one laying around and don’t use it please let me know. FYI, I do not want a octo protein skimmer I’m getting rid of mine and want something different.
As I have written many times I have had nothing but problems with my Octo 110 protein skimmer and am looking to buy a new one. I’ve fussed with this one for two months now and it’s time for a change. I’ve owned many protein skimmers and never had a problem like I did with this one
So what is a...
I’ve been having a problem with Cyanobacteria for a couple weeks now. At first I bought a better cleanup crew: sally light foot crab, Hermit crabs and a star fish hoping they would help with the problem. After a week with now improvements I turned my lights off for three days and stopped...
I have a 65 gallon tank with a 29 gallon sump that’s about two months old. When I first got the tank put together I let the skimmer run and overflow for the first month. Than right around the four week point; the skimmer settled down and worked as it should.
About a week later, when the...
Quick question for everyone... What do you feed your LPS corals? I remember about 10 years ago I use to feed mine phytoplankton.
i have my first shipment of corals coming in the mail today and I want to begin feeding them this week. I have a nice lobo brain, acans, zoas, hammer coral and a...
My tank is two months old and is doing fairly well. It is a 65 gallon gallon reef tank with a 29 gallon sump. I have 40 lbs of live rock and 60 lbs of live sand. In my tank I have 5 small fish, a flower anemone, small leather coral, a coral banded shrimp and a few snails.
When my tank was...
My tank has been running for about 2.5 weeks now and it’s pretty much dialed in. The only problem that I’m having: is I do get a small amount of bubbles in my display tank. The bubbles appear to be coming from the siphon hole in my return nozzle. I’ve noticed that when I cover the hole with...
After an 8 year hiatus I have gotten back
into the hobby. I just bought a new 65 gallon aqueon tank with a 29 gallon sump. I want to start with fish only and in time I may get some soft corals. Just the easy stuff though. I quit the hobby years ago because I got tired of watching things die...
