I am thinking it could be zoos from reading about them before. My brother had just started a tank and some of his corals were not doing well so we moved them to my tank. I would assume they were stressed out and giving toxins. I take it you just kept taking benadryl or something of that sort...
The other day I was putting some new frags in my tank and had a great idea. Why not put my hand in my tank with a small cut. Well regardless the last two days I have been getting allergic reactions, hives all down my arms and legs. I have a feeling it might have something to do with my reef...
Do you need more than one zoanthid on a rock for more to grow? What number works best for growth. I want to start fraging so I can get a few small rocks to trade for different frags.
The temperature is now down to 80 degrees. I take it I can buy some type of additive and I will have to keep adding that in order for my corraline to remain. As far as my soft corals I would assume they would be fine without adding some sort of buffer?
I have a 72 gallon bow front tank with 2 250watt 20k DE MH bulbs which I run for 8-10 hours per day. I am new to reefing(November) and have not had any problems since I returned from this weekend. I have been keeping easy soft corals such as zoanthids, kenya trees, and xenias so far. Anyway I...
I am new to having a reef tank and I have been getting green algae on the sides of my tank and sand. It seems like it has started since I added my MH lighting. I have 2 20k 250 watt bulbs over my 72 gallon. Any ideas? I use RODI water also.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to an external pump than I can run for my 72 gallon? I would like something with enough flow, quiet, and can handle the head pressure to pump water up to the display tank.
I am about to start up my 72 gallon reef tank. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for powerheads. So far I like maxi jets. Just wondering if someone had a model number and number of powerheads to add. I am running it with 2 250w mh bulbs and a remora skimmer. Any suggestions...
Looking to buy a MH setup. I am thinking of two 250W bulbs for my 72 gallon. I was wondering if anyone knew of any particularly good deals or suggestions on how to go about getting a good deal on the setup. I plan on doing a DIY project.
What are my options for livesand. I have had southdown for a year and don't really like it. It is too fine. I also don't want to pay $30 for a tiny bag. Is there a coarse dead sand or anything out there that is affordable?
I am buying an icecap 660 with 4 endcaps and 2 bulbs this weekend. Are there any fixtures that you can buy to put the lighting in or do you basically need to make a hood and attatch the lighting to the hood.
Thanks
I want to set up a sump/fuge for my new 72 gallon. Can anyone help me out with knowing how much of a GPH rating I would need on a return pump. How many return holes I should drill in the tank. Diamater and locations of all the holes?
Does anyone know of a write up online on exactly how to...
What are the things that seem to be adjustable that are for water return from a sump. They are normally black, seem to be attatched to the bulkhead, if I am using the right word, and they shoot the water out.
How much do they cost?
Thanks,
Joe
