    125 Predator Build

    I'm not trying to be a party crasher it just seems the tank was rushed through the cycle and stocked before it was ready. It looks to me like it has zero live rock, perhaps a few pounds in the fuge.

    Re-starting a 'dead' tank

    What kind of filtration is currently being implemented? Also what skimmer are you using? If your looking for a new skimmer, a hang on look at the aqua-c remora. It has great reviews... I personally use a sump/refuge to filter my 55gal and 40gal. They are both tied in to the one sump. It works...

    Re-starting a 'dead' tank

    I think it will be okay like it is however, you need to place some powerheads near the bottom flowing in/around/behind your rock work to keep the detritus suspended in the water column so it can get picked up my the skimmer and filter. Or/and you might want to get a gravel vacuum. If you have...

    To Tang or Not To TANG?

    But we all know you need to find the source of the alge. The blenny will only aid in removing the alge. Their is other things to consider. phosphates, silicates, over feeding, and of course nitrates. Using untreated tap water usually introduces phosphates and silicates. I use tap water myself...

    To Tang or Not To TANG?

    Alge problem aye? Get a lawnmower blenny. He will decimate the alge population in no time and he will be your most prized and loved fish. My lawnmower knows who I am, greets me and sometimes does a little dance in the front of the tank for me. My blenny was about 1.2'' when purchased and...

    Has anyone actually been in a major hurricane?

    I grew up in Mobile, Al. It's on the gulf coast. I was in my others belly during frederick. I stayed in my parents home through every hurricaine since I was born. Hurricaines are mostly a cake walk. I live in a tornado area now and they scare me much worse than any hurricaine. With a hurriciane...

    I had a spotted sweetlips too. LFS assholes talked me in to buying it when I was still a noob. Sweetlips did well for about 3 months, ate brine, mysis, flake, and ghost shrimp. He spent most of his time right beside my percula clown. A few days ago I noticed his behavior change, he wasn't as...

    Gold coral banded skrimp.

    Wow, I don't need anything else eating crabs or snails, my pixi hawk now lives in my sump for eating snails/crabs. No worries though, he will be in my 40 gallon as soon as I tie in the pipe work to my sump intake and return pump.

    Gold coral banded skrimp.

    I just purchased a new coral banded shrimp. He molted 3 hours after acclimation and placement into tank. I was planning on getting 6 peppermints, 6 camelback, and a few skunks. I've heard the cbs may or may not attack/eat other shrimps? I don't like to see my critters die because I didn't do my...

    Iodine level in fowlr?

    I do have a sebea anemone which I do not like because of its constant wondering. I think I read somewhere that it needs iodine? The sebea has a large anemone crab that takes care of-I am willing to trade these animals if anyone is interested.

    Sump with no baffles?

    my sump is diy. I didnt put baffles in, but now I realize I should have... So go ahead and put them in.... At best it will have a minimal extra cost and add a few more minutes to the construction time.
