I added an uncooked shrimp and a full dose of StartSmart to my tank a week ago. I was at 0 ppm NH3, 1 ppm NO2, and 10 ppm NO3 within two days, and I...
Very nice corals. Congrats! Just curious... What's your total circulation? Thanks.
Thank you. That's a challenge with this set-up. Each ballast powers two T5's, and unfortunately, the ballasts won't power only one lamp. It...
This was a cichlid tank before the conversion. After 6 years of constant chasing and nipping each other, a relatively inactive fish will ironically...
Finally completed the T5 retrofits. Had to splice into the leads and make them a little longer so the ballasts can be underneath the tank in the...
Really nice tank. Congrats!
Thank you and it does help. I did not know that about Cardinals... That might change things. :) I'll have to think about the Anthias a bit. I...
Thanks for the feedback. I was looking at the Anthias. I'm not sure how far to go with fish though. I used the 3reef calculator and it gave a...
Thanks! Yeah, they packed in there pretty good. I'm going to get the T5's hooked up tomorrow if all goes well. I used some StartSmart on...
Stocking plan I'm working on a stocking plan and would like any input you have. Here's what I have so far, and they're in the order I would stock...
Beautiful shots. I'm in the market for a new camera too. What did you get her?
Thanks for the comments. Hoping the scape works out. I had to use a little epoxy here and there to keep it stable. Not sure what I'll do if I have...
I'm new to saltwater so any and all critiques are welcome and appreciated. I have a 150 gallon corner pentagon (back corner overflow) that I'm...
I used a small piece of underwater epoxy in between each rock. This stuff sets fairly hard, but not unbreakable. I didn't glue the entire surface...
I'd start with the Hofer Gurgle Buster if you haven't come up with anything for this yet. Cheap and easy to adjust. Hofer Gurgle Buster...
Are the Occelaris and Percula not aggressive or just "less" aggressive? So better off getting the corals in and established before adding the...
Thanks for the input. I'll show her a few of those as well and let her decide.
Sounds like we have a winner. Clownfish it is, and you're right, "Nemo" will be a hit at the science fair. ;) Thanks for the responses.
I was thinking about a clown but wasn't sure if it was a good candidate for early entry into a tank. I know some fish are aggressive and should go...
My daughter is going to do a school science fair project on the ammonia cycle. In a nut shell, feed the fish and watch nitrates increase. I have...
