here's a picture of my chiller- [IMG]
i recently had a power outtage for 14 hours, and i ended up losing 90% of my fish and inverts. the corals were fine. i now have a generator(strong...
the cyanobacteria is an excess nutrient issue. i disagree with using chemicals. all you are doing is temporarily removing the symptom of the problem....
do not use flatworm exit. bad advice. a mass die-off of these flatworms and you chance a nuclear episode. they release toxins in the event of their...
does anyone have any experience with one of these? so far i know it's a filter feeder, and should be placed in a high flow area. any info would be...
i don't dose anything, and i don't recommend dosing anything without making absolutely sure your system is lacking of it.
i am wondering if duncans are vulnerable to brown jelly disease, like torches/frogspawn/hammers get. if so, the best thing you can do is keep it in...

another note- i had three 400 watt magnetic ballasts over the display, and then went to 250's. i think the 250's are plenty for me. meanwhile, i used...
sorry...been busy with work. paoli is near king of prussia, pa. this particular setup has been running for about 7 months. i poured into it a year...
