i know it would be fine without a skimmer but would require more accurate water changes. i know it's not a mandatory but it's nice to know all the extra organics are being removed.
thanks looking into the picos
thanks for the info, mnat. long time fan of your builds! yeah, i haven't seen one post on the oceanic skimmers made for the cubes so i didn't even put that on a list of things i would even buy.
for the remora. are you going with the nano or urchin? any big difference in performance or just the...
-first getting all required mods complete
-need to buy: skimmer/koralia#1PH/refractometer/thermometer/additional fan for heat (chillers are too damn expensive and won't be getting anything into the tank until sept-october)
-going with nature's ocean bioactiv sand 20# to the addition of the dry...
;D back in the hobby.
this time went more realistic and mapping out exactly how I want it setup and time frames on when everything should be done.
thanks to oscar for a GREAT DEAL. practically brand new never used BioCube 29
doing research on mods:
-remove chamber 1/2 blockage
-remove...
rfd4 i believe it's called diatom. red slime. i siphoned it out. make sure you get as much as possible. siphon it out again a few days later. if you see it come back siphon as good as possible again but end result after 2/3 times it was gone. i got it early on though.
how did the flame angel hold up in the 20? thought min tank requirement was 30?
i'm looking forward to a flame angel as teh primary resident for a tank so i'd like to see how it does in a smaller tank. hard to find a used big cube.
just put dumped in my water and FLOATED LIKE NO TOMORROW. crap! i'll have to take as much out as possible while still looking decent. i have no clue how i'll be doing this.
it's been curing for well over a week. i haven't even thought of when i'm going to actually start up my system again. i think all my corals are almost dead ;x might end up selling my system ;x
i've gone through all those threads and found a lot of users not coating it with no problems and having it up for YEARS. the foam should get covered in coraline like anything else in the tank. i don't see why it can't. after the foam cures it is said not too leak any chemicals into the water...
outcome. i know it's not the greatest but i like it! i didn't use the resin and sand cause I'm LAZY! and it'll be covered in coraline. i love watching things GROW.
ha definitely next paycheck i'll make an appointment. not everyone has an exact reason to be a member.
love the forums but ALL (benefits) the sponsors are FURTHER South and chances of going to those areas are VERY slim. i don't think i would participate much in the group buys. i like new things...
recently got my 75RR and removed all my previous water from my 55. i personally did not buy a ro/di due the fact i had enough water for my 55 from my 30 and was only 3$per 5gal
75 + sump 10-15gal
90gallons of ro/di / 5 = 18 * 3 = 54
average ro/di used = 100
but i am ready to atleast get mine...
i see how people figure 6 or 7 but looking at hatton and his fights, creating a different style that will last until rounds 6 or 7 then after he will resort to one-dimensional due to getting pounded and notice the actual speed difference. his want for getting p4p is good enough to get him past 6...
I haven't seen much OUT OF THE WATER questions so here is a straight curve ball!
who do you see winning and why! i hate biased opinions without reason. ;)
pac = fast with an extreme amount of heart
hatton = strength especially fighting at his weight class
pac has shown become absolutely...
hey tommy, the design of a sump is all the same really. i havent really seen anything unique.
regular sump configuration: drain > refugium > return drain to both drain and refugium > return in the center.
i think i'll end up going with sump configuration #2 with my new tank. i'll take a...
i was wondering if you used a host server or did you create your own page for it? i like that idea. seen it used as a security feature but not for fish watching (besides absolutely fish website and you)
