interceptor is a drug that kills crustaceans. you would have to buy it from a vet because its for dogs also. it doesnt affect anything else but crustaceans. so hermit crabs, shrimps, etc will die if theyre not taken out. but i wouldnt jump to that option right away. give them 2-3 days and see...

if theres both an amphipod and a small worm, that would indicate that they are only cleaning up something dying. if it was just amphipods causing it to die, then you have a species of predatory amphipods. at this point the only option would be to interceptor the whole tank, but im pretty sure...

The problem with seachem is their control. Even the new test kits that were sent to us were inaccurate. Just as salt gets bad batches, test kits get more variation from batch to batch. The nitrate test was measured to be +/- 20% difference. All tests were tested against lab grade measurements...

do yourself a favor and ditch the seachem tests. highly unaccurate. the API test kit is very good for alk tests. the new hanna meter is also good as long as you do it following lab procedures

no need for the chiller. you can put a fan over your sump and itll cool your tank down pretty well.

the rastas look great! do they grow fast for you?

yours has 5 3w Cree LEDs. they're not using 1w leds like some other par38's

some underrated LED's are eco-lamps. another great led fixture

which par38 bulb did you get. some par38's use 3w led's

theres tons of LED fixtures. AI evolution SWC ecoxotic orphek list goes on and on.

i had one for demo, pretty neat tank. chambers are a little tight

check out a TEK fixture. it'll provide more PAR to the bottom of the tank than a aquaticlife by roughly 20%.

i envy you! wish i had a tank large enough to carry all the wrasses i want

beautiful wrasses!

whats the price range gonna be? im about 8 months away from my next build and my total for my lights alone is estimating to be 3k already for a 50 x 30 x 20 SPS dominated tank
