So I have a female 3-Stripe Damsel (Dascyllus aruanus) who is about 5 years old. She shares a tank with a clownfish, mandarin goby, harlequin...
looks like an odd sort of sponge
Posting pics would help. You said he is brown and hairy, I am guessing a teddy bear crab. Teddies become irritating when they get bigger-steal corals...
Sponge. If you frag it you can have more!Awsome little filter feeders.
go buy a small syringe from a medical supply store-the type used by diabetics for insuling. suck up a smaLL amount of kalk paste and inject it into...
Well after reading Vinny's thread I believe I am going to try a DIY 4 way ATS scrubber. This way I have redundant (4) verticle screens to grow algae...
My next question that may arise some debate is which is a better system to employ- horizontal ATS or a vertical (waterfall) ATS? I was planning on...
Ok, im planning on using two redundant ATS... and scraping at different intervals as to maintain filtration. Then just relying on LR, and DSB for...
That was my way long way of theorizing...if I could match the nitrate/phosphate removal with DOC induction, using a DSB/Live rock (for Nitrifying...
So with that information in hand-DOCs which are one of the initial sources of ammonia (that and animal waste), DOC instigates the Nitrogen Cycle. The...
dont see the advantage of it in this respect as suspended food is desired here. Any thoughts on this?
Ive been researching azoox.org, and algaescrubber.net alot for this project. Im getting the impression from successful NPS keepers that smaller tanks...
Hmmm. Ok. Well I am planning a heavy live rock content for this tank as well as a DSB for the biofilter. And then the ATS of course. I am still not...
............bump
water changes will help it but the tank just has to resettle out and sort of mini-cycle
You can try more aggressive water changes, dont stock as many fish, build a algae turf scrubber, try feeding less, more live rock. Theres plenty of...
Please correct me if I am wrong...but the point of continuious palegic feeding is for the corals to filter the food from the water. Skimming would...
Ok! Awsome thanks for the ideas. I dont mind the extra workload. I live in a dry cabin in alaska (meaning no running water of any type) and i still...
I was wondering if anyone has tried keeping a NPS tank using ONLY an algae turf scrubber as filtration. This means no skimmer, biopellets, refugium...
