Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Finally got my frag system hooked up to my sump. Finally have a area for frags, not too many but since I have lost lbs if corals I need to start trading or selling before purchasing new thing.
I am looking to get rid if this blue vat so need the remaining livestock gone. I have one yellow tang. He is healthy but has scars from being bullied. I also have maybe 5 or so large to medium size turbo and top crown snails. Does anyone know anyone that would trade the fish for high end...
Removed the socks since after vodka dosing the socks are clogging fast and not really getting cleaned by hand. This floss last barely 2 days before overflowing so not a good solution long term. Eventually I want to just get a fleece roller but that depends on how long I can get out of then roll.
I used old bottle of absolute and recently purchased the cheapest vodka I could find. Aslong as it 80 proof 40% your good.
MY phosphates bottomed out a few times so I stopped dosing lanthum chloride. I made a 50% waterchange and caused a bacteria bloom so had to dial back the vodka and add a...
I am going hard no creating a company and following my dreams, from my basement. I want to start selling corals from my house and eventually get into aquarium installations.
I figured a good tool would be Youtube to build some credibility. I am working on some more detailed videos but my first...
I havent posted in a while but here goes. Since last year I have gotten my Phosphates under control dosing Lanthaum cloride contiuously into my skimmer. However, I didnt realize but by June 2023 my Nitrates had climbed to 100+ PPM. I started using filter socks, upgraded my return pump to...
I have some dreams of very nice cabinetry. Not the basic stuff but kind of like RH style. Ive not seen any cabinetry online for aquariums that i actually liked. I feel this should look high end kitchen with flush inset cabinets with long low profile hinge. I like wirebrushed and light stain.
When i turned on my return pump i decided to time how much it filled 2" of water. I am only getting about 450gallons from my return pump in 1 hour. Thats barely 1.2x turnover. When i calculated head i thought id get 3x but reducinga 2" outlet to 1" is taking away alot. I think this is a big...
Yikes. Phosphates out of control.
I am considering liquid phosban. Never used GFO and prefer not to have too. I know my rock is for leaching PO bc It was high before adding fish. I have been overfeeding and my fish are happy and less aggressive. Gonna have to cutt back. I have 2 days of high...
I cant bad mouth the ecotech battery back up since in 5 years Its probably saved me on 3 different times. I tested it after I got power back and of course the battery backup is working now - Maybe lose wire or something?
If i get a stand alone generated I would probably need an electrician to...
Woke up to lost power. And my ecotech battery back ups not working
The area i am in seems to always have power outages and it creates a great deal of panic for me. I think a generac is only thing that would make my animals safe
Tanks completely free of algae. Now i have another problem - making sure my inverts dont starve to death. I bumped up the lighting spectrum and intensity. These big snails and urchins need a good amount of algae so may have to move them to the sump where i can easily feed them algae sheets
So its been 1 month since i stopped feeding garlic. I have not done any water changes. I did clean the return pump, skimmer, removed locline on my return that increased sump turnover, added a large bag of chemipure blue, added 2nd MP60, removed seasweep, added a new UV (icecap 40w), increased...
