Should work. I find drawing off an ATO is a bit erratic in terms of how much kalk you are putting in. I run a separate kalk stirrer (home made) and ATO. I use a dosing pump to draw from the kalk stirrer; that way, I know exactly how much calcium hydroxide i'm putting in. You can match this...

Sounds exciting my friend! This is the absolutely the BEST part of fish keeping - stocking a new tank. Achilles are very difficult (even more than most tangs) - if you get one make sure you fully research it. I don't ever see any juvenile Achilles being offered - usually they are adults and...

yeah, it was a close up of this colony.

thanks sakura My dendros spawn regularly now - captured this last night

+1 Sakura Probably snuck up on them at night while they were sleeping. Sitting ducks in a small tank. Nothing to do with the crabs - they just eat fish.

nice shot!

nice mix of tangs. You should get some shots of the sohal. very nice setup!

I was doing a bit of an overhaul as I replaced my return pump, cleaned out my sump/skimmer and all the different reactors. I noticed my biopellets turned black and had to drive to my LFS to pick some up. So while i'm there I noticed this little guy. He was the last one left in a shipment and...

I have a setup where I mix water from the basement and use a mag 9 (900 gph) pump to pump it up to the tank. Don't put a valve on the pump this will ruin the pump. I use a remote switch but you can just turn it off. I pump the water into the sump first and have the return pump put it into the...

I agree with Sarah/Brian - get a good test kit but don't get one that focuses on low levels (like Seachem). API is the one everyone starts with - there is a good saltwater packet they sell. I would suggest that you stop using prime for nitrates, its not a practical long term (or even a short...

They are slow grower in my experience. I don't know if a direct flow is the best for it. It just takes time. Take your time light acclimating it - a lot of frags come green and take time to color up. If your water chemistry is good (nitrates/phosphates/calcium/alk) you will start getting...

Ok, this thread inspired me to get some berghia nudibranchs. I found a guy locally who was ordering them so I got three. I wanted to get more but he only had three left. Here's what I learned so far. 1) They come in bigger sizes than I thought - I have one that is 3/4 inch big! 2)...
