I water change first then test then add because if my chemicals are at the right level after the water change then why add. Plus why would i add stuff to the water then do a water change right after. I am just pouring it down the drain. But i only ever add about 10 to 15 ml each time. If i...

I Have been using the red sea formula for about 6-8 months now, but i keep my perimiters at average to whate the books recomend. alk and cal slightly higher. I dose at about 1/4 to what red sea wants and i use the posphate remover at about 1/2 once a week. I am finding good growth on my corals...

probably, if you put the zoas where they want to be. i have both in my tank. i have a colony with both zoas and buttons growing on it. buttons are crowding out the zoas though

you can also try hanging him over a container of water. If the anemone didn't get too damaged and you suspend him one or 2 inches over a over a container of tank water he will let go so as to get back into the water. I have had the same thing happen and it worked for me. Watch though, you don't...

yup/ like i said- walmart . nice little 400 0r 600 watt will run your powerheads nicely and leave enough for the tv and run you couple hundred buckd

why do you want to "boil" the rocks. whats wrong with them? if you are already using them why aren't you just puting them in a container and keeping them damp. then just cycle them again

i put my generator and two 5 gallon cans of gas in the garage in the fall. anyone touches them and they are DEAD. a generator is pretty cheap insurance consideri.ng how much money we spend on our tanks. go to walmart, you can get them real cheap there

i have a generator just for my tank. come fall it goes in the garage with two 5 gallon cans of gas. anyone touches them and they are DEAD. my husband plugs in the curculation pumps and the heat in the tank, the tv and the furnuce. wouldn't wank to be without tv. 300 bucks for a generator is...

i agree, longer is better, but i dont use anything unless i have too. but do use a qt. in my case my tank is to big and i have too much money invested in it to take a chance of knowingly putting something i there that is going to wipe it out. i have 5 yrs of collecting corals and fish in...

i dont know about that, i dont use copper, i do the hyposalinity thing with a ultraviolet sterilizer, buti do. .nt do any thing until i see signs of illness. 2 wks is not long enough. quarantine at least a month. if you havent seen anything by then you should be ok. i personally do 6 wks to 2...

dont us it then, let your ac do the job. cheaper on the hydro

thats a nice little softy. watch though. some of them spread by dropping branches. just like dropping leaves. if you have one of them, they can spread all over your tank. if its not one of the ones that sheds you usually get a nice big coral pretty quick.

yes you can do it pretty basic. i run a 265 gal with an aquaclear 110 hang on, an aquamedic hang on rated for 300 gal a hang on refugium that 24 in long, a good bubblestone and assorted powerheads and heaters. lost of rock lots of coral, soft and hard, a clam, mushrooms,zoas etc. i do use an ro...

i run a 265 gal reef tank with a aquaclear 110 hang on, a aquamedic hang on skimmer rated for 300 gal, a 24 inch long hang on refugium and asorted powerheads and heaters. also a bubblestone. i dont have a place for a sump or a refuge under the tank. my tank is probably overstocked with fish...

i dont think you can have wall mounted shelves of any kind. thats way too much weight. like big k says. its not going to end well. i see a metal wall unit with a space big enough for your desk to fit into and your tanks sitting above

i would use at least 4 by 4 studs for the whole thing and bolt it together instead of nailing it . it will be stronger

where i live i cant always get the same brand of salt. when i have to change brands i mix it half and half, old and new once or twice. right now i have top fin, instant ocean and instant ocean reef. these are the brands i can usually get. i use a little of each. so far so good

if your tanks are 4 ft long they are going to be 55 gal or better, that would be 450 to 500 lbs each when full of water. i dont think you can mount anything on the wall that would take that kind of weight. if you actually want them on the wall as if sitting on a book shelf with your desk under...

i would still leave him in the qt for 2 or 3 wks after treatment is finished just to be sure. if you are like me you are getting a nice collection in your show tank and it would cost big bucks to restock. niger triggers get BIG. how big is your system

i would still leave him in the qt for a couple wks after treatment just to be sure
