I have been looking a few different reef octopus reactors and they seem to be of high quality. Not sure if this is extrapolated to their skimmers...
I have recently had the same problem. I just had to frag off the dying head, coral dip them, and hope for the best. So far the other two are still...
Might want to chuck a peice of shrimp or something in there though to really get it going. + some beneficial bacteria supplements.
Definately keep topping the tank off as usual. Depends on what you used to start the cycle the ammonia spike can happen between a few days and a few...
I actually saw something similar to this in a LFS display tank. Absolutely took over, the guy I usually deal with said he took all the coral out and...
I have no algae in my tank, but run GFO etc. I dont think it contributes to phosphate. I think it is purely a mix of substrate and waste.
I think I know what you are talking about. A similar thing happens in my sump. I think its because in my sump it goes Skimmer -> Refugium -> Return...
I am not sure also. The red stuff looks like cyanobacteria so thats not beneficial, but there also looks like some pockets of beneficial bacteria....
Kenya tree that is not yet acclimated? Or some sort of leather?
Thanks I will have a really long read and tomorrow or the next day (because its 10.30 in Australia) I will post a detailed little video on my build...
Changed threads not to high jack the OP's!. I have had a few SPS frags over the last few months and they all die in 2-4 weeks and I only ever see...
Taken off your training wheels :P. (Mine are still on haha)
Get the biggest you can fit! However it really does come down to get the biggest your woman will let you!
Its usually recommended to get a skimmer that is double the tank size. So an 80g skimmer isn't really going to cut it at all, even with the addition...
Maybe it is/Maybe it isn't. The fish has ample swimming room and ample food to eat. Your nudibranchs on the other hand are condemned to death after...
I did find that if I left a window slightly ajar I didn't get the nasty condensation that commonly occurs. Not sure if this increased or decreased...
Beautiful mate. I dream of having a tank like that one day. Well done.
+1 I always scoop my fish out of the bag and put them in the tank after acclimation etc. Never let any LFS water into my tank. Just asking for...
I think the red sea test kits go quite good. Definately way better than API. But I would like to get some hanna checkers. They seem to be the most...
Not sure mate. Might have to send it back for warranty/repairs. But a bump for you anyway.
