BUMMER... but how on EARTH can he be starving if I feed the tank twice a day- once with either a "coral mix" or mysis, and once with either phyto...
WOW... I've not had this happen before! My little red sea star is disintegrating, LITERALLY, leg by leg. It started with two of its legs, at the...
Thanks for the reply! It is in a high-flow area, and the intake from the sump is directional, pointed directly at the fan. According to seahorse...
Hi fellow reefers... OK, so I broke my own rule... I bought a critter without FIRST researching the heck out of it. The red sea fan is...
Oh, AWESOME! So I might not be too far off, just a few adjustments. I was running the skimmer FULL BLAST with the pump. I'll turn it to half-on. The...
OK, that helps a lot! Thanks for the quick reply! :) I will do that and watch it for a few days.
Oh, jeez, I didn't know that... I just set it up the night before last, and it's not running now. Should I run it constantly even WITH the high water...
Ok, I'm TOTALLY new to this skimming thing. I have a Coralife 65, and I installed it in-sump (2-chamber 15g acrylic sump, skimmer placed in 2nd...
I'm thinking sea hares are hit or miss. Either they'll do great or curl up and die on you. I bought a brown, ugly thing a couple weeks ago. It did...
I'm honestly not sure... is that the test that turns the water brown? If so, this water was a lighter shade of brown than that of the lowest level....
The Nano Cube has a kind of "fuge" built into the back, where the pump is housed. It has 3 chambers, and I had removed the filter media to treat the...
OK, FIRST OF ALL, if you look at my avatar, you'll see that I'm a WOMAN, not a "young man". I recently bought a small skimmer, but it won't FIT in...
Can't tell you exactly what my perams are, they are written down at home. This was the first water test I'd done with my used kit, so some of the...
OK, I know that I haven't posted pics of my 12g Nano, and I've kept corals in this tank before with NO PROBLEMS whatsoever. This time, I have a 7...
Update We're doing great after the treatment! Xenia is back to almost 100% of its potential beauty and health, but I think I'm going to lose the...
Yep, I'm SURE it's easier with a larger tank... more dilution, less concentration, the sump running, skimmer running, etc. is all going to make it...
Update Well, I tested my tank, and all perameters are PERFECT. The water is just as healthy as can be. Salinity is currently at 1.022, and the Ph,...
That leather actually looks quite nice! That's how my last ones looked, but the one I have has never looked like that- and I can't figure out what...
Yes, I know that ONLY the water evaporates, not the salt. But top offs change the salinity quite a bit, (by dilution) so that's why I was confused....
I'm confused now... if what you're saying is the case, then what about fresh water top offs after evaporation? I use distilled (sterile) water for...
