That lawn mower blenny did not look happy to be on camera lol

Didnt think about that but its not a bad idea. I will give that a shot next weekend when I repeat process of this weekend lol. I would not call it a bad batch as I will be fine with those numbers. Besides I am almost half way through it anyway. Seeing the numbers you are getting I might try the...

Its what I would do. Have a net or something to catch him as he hits the sump. I have had many fish take the ride to the sump and all have been fine. Kind of why I have never used a filter sock on any of my old tanks. So if a fish took a ride we would be ok. However as a warning you will have to...

I got the bucket when petsmart had them on clearance for half off. Probably about 2 months ago. My SG was also 1.025 actually a tad higher but not by much. The numbers you posted are more of what I was expecting to see which is not what I got. Still I can live with them. Just wanted to able to...

Check mag levels if you get mag in check in will prevent the calcium ions and carbonate ions (ALK) from binding and precipitating out of the water.

whats your magnesium levels? I think Imforbis is on the correct path with precipitation. What it sounds like to me. Do you see any buildup on your skimmer line and such?

Well now I have in interesting issue. On all my other tanks I have had I have always used instant ocean salt as it was the cheapest salt locally and with big tanks cost of salt was always high. Now I have a small nano I decided to go with reef crystals and now I see a potential issue down the...

Thanks pegasus I do think your right about the one being a trumpet. Its seem to be putting a little meat on its bones and is starting to resemble a trumpet. Only time will tell but it has some feeder tentacles out at night so thats a good sign. Now if I could just get the dang hermits from...

Got a new hammer over the weekend from a fellow reefer that found it behind some rock work. Was a little unhappy but seems to be doing well in my tank. I broke it in 2 pieces. Also did a little rescaping I think I like it now. More room for more coral to grow.

Personally if it were me I would keep the skimmer in the first chamber. No need for a bubble trap between the first and second chamber. You only need a bubble trap before the return. Other than that all sounds good.

It all depends on how much you ship. I used to work in logistics for a while. The more you shipthe less you get charged. Now if they dont ask where they are shipping to before they add on shipping then yes your are probably being ripped but typically not in most cases. You also got to figure in...

Best way to order from places like this is to get a few local reefers and combine orders. I have ordered a couple times from here when I had my 180 and my 55. Never any issues but at the same time they had free shipping in Florida now I think its free with 100 dollar purchase. Hard to buy 100...

Most dont come here any more as there is no sales allowed which I remember created a mass exit also not being able to link to other sites or ebay is a major turn off for most especially if SWF dont even carry the product in question. I dont know if the site is still that strict but I am going to...

Went over the weekend and picked up some live rock rubble from a local reefer who was cleaning out his refugium and lookie what I found hitch hiking along. Didnt plan on adding coral yet but that cant happen when getting live rock. He is opening up well so I think he will be just fine. The other...

Personally I have never run heaters after a heater in my 180 exploded in the tank. The temp of you house is usually about right for the tank. Especially after considering all the heat from the pumps and such already.

In the center of the shell looking thing I think I see a little apstasia

What I was asking is if you are running a sump with a skimmer. I like to run my return pump at about the same GPH as my skimmer pump then the rest in power heads.

Stuck a couple pieces of live rock in last week along with filling my back chambers with live rock rubble. Been feeding the tanks flakes. Tested my water today and I have ammonia 0, nitrite is present but to low to read on the color chart nitrate 10. Not sure what to do now as I just cant...

geridoc has a good point about having it sent to your local facility for pick up. Also after you have been in the hobby for a while things will and do happen. Just buy from reputable souces here for example if the fish does not make it they are good about setting things right.

would not be a bad idea. I would wait till the tank is done cycling first though and run carbon through your filter for now.
