Looking good! What mixture of carbon and phosguard did you end up using? The mixture you are making is essentially the same thing as a product...
If the paly is doing fine, then just keep an eye out on it. You don't want any nudibranch infesting it or laying eggs near it. Kind of an odd ball...
Also keep in mind that these nudibranchs are going to be more active at night, so it might be best to hunt for these guys after your lights are off....
dacinab.. that is interesting about the UV lights. I have never heard of this before in relation to the nudibranch eggs. You're talking about the UV...
Very true! My studies in coral reef physiology have always brought me back to that worried state.... what am I doing to these poor coral at the...
Are you using Lugol's iodine solution in addition to your freshwater dips? The nudibranchs are a tough bunch. A Lugol's solution can be very potent...
I am not so sure it is the lithium is what is the magic ingredient. Many have had success with using continuum magnesium as well and it does not...
I made the mistake in my previous post about palys. I just corrected it (my apologies). I just contacted my good friend who loves this method, but...
I seen several people use freshwater dips at a time length of 10 minutes. Yes, I do agree with you swisswiss that is a long time. Most would say...
It very well could be. Unfortunately, I have not seen any definitive evidence for lithium or any of the other trace metals that are incorporated...
Well, I would give it a few more days so they can fully acclimate. Do you have them in a lowish flow area on your sand bed? On a side note, they...
Bryopsis algae can be a bugger and half to combat. I am currently treating my fathers tanks to rid this algae from his main display. Like you...
1) I am assuming tank parameters are all checked out and OK? 2) Did you happen to dip them before adding the zoas to your tank? 3) Do you see any...
VA Reef, that is a great point. If you can manage an already existing infestation of red/black bugs with natural predators like the pipefish then...
VA Reef, I have found this insecticide to be very effective against anything in the phylum arthropoda (and I would assume toxic to fish). In all...
Wherever we buy our coral from, most of us are concerned about the pests that may be introduced into our precious reef tanks. From red bugs to...
how are the zoas doing now that they have been in your tank a few days? Normally, softies can take a few days to a week before they open. Most LFS...
Your DIY internal canister should work perfectly for pushing water through your carbon, phosguard and whatever other media you choose to use. I...
If you are planning to use the phosguard in a bag, I would suggest placing it in a high flow area of the sump. Where does the water come down from...
how does the tank look after using phosguard for some time now?
