I am still at a loss to understand the use of test kits. In all the years of building, cycling, and keeping tanks. I have never chemically(w/ number result) witnessed a tank cycle. By sight and smell I can tell with in a 80% certainty what stage the tank is in, describe the phase, and identify...

Originally Posted by TeresaQ not sure about the intank bbs hatchery, but I was thinking with such a big tank, that a feeding area with a light may be a must. hook a light to the side of the tank. turn on light, feed the bbs. The bbs will be drawn to the light. Have hitches all around the light...

Originally Posted by TeresaQ Wow, this will be interesting. How are you going to control hydroids?? Are you going to set up a feeding station?? thats a huge tank for such tiny horses. T Well, for starters, I broke my "piggy bank" open and got a real test kit, it includes every basic test...

The "maiden hair" stage is in full bloom now, so any body have hungry snails? I wish there was a market for the stringy stuff. The tank should be due for another spike soon, the pipe organs aren't looking very happy. They haven't fully opened in two days. I am guessing I'll be mixing saltwater...

Pray, hope you've done your homework on caring for seahorse fry, and continue praying.

Hi all. I've been out of the loop since the mycobacterium disaster in my 38g. I had to tear down the 38g and sterilize everything. I boiled all rocks with out corals for 45 minutes each and bleach the LS. I lost most of my coral due to stress; the most painful losses were my two favorites~ the...

I think this would be the basic output for this unit~ Power Compact 5-10k and actinic Low to Medium coral coverage Reef less than 24" deep;

Lighting is not my strong point, would this unit be sufficient for a 90g med to high corals? What corals would not thrive under this light? Fixture includes two 460nm Actinic Blue and two Daylight 10,000K SlimPaq high output T5 lamps. Thanks, Rykna

Originally Posted by TeresaQ but it cant go in the 90 with horses. If its that small, put it in the 5 gal for now. I dont think it would break it if its that tiny. T Ok, well then I will keep it the bare bottom 10g for now. Maybe by the time it is big enough to break the 10g I can tell what...

Originally Posted by Cranberry What size tank? I wouldn't put them in a thin plate glass tank, like a 10 hass. But any thicker/larger tank will be fine. Right now my 90g display tank is under quarantine due to myco bacterium. I just moved all my coral from a glass 5.5g to a glass 10g until...

Awesome! So if it is a baby mantis, how long until it becomes a lethal glass shattering beast?

I was doing some cleaning today when I scoped up a little green-blue shrimp. It looks like it has the front clubs, but it is hard to tell. It is a little over 1/4 inch long. I was wondering if any one had a pic of a baby mantis because our camera upload is not working. ~Rykna

The 90g won! Starting at 9am today, I tore down the 38, boiled all the rock~every rock was boiled for at least 45 minutes(Abby and Dan gave me this recommendation to kill the majority of the mycobacterium), washed all filters with bleach, and moved all the corals to a 5.5g. Then I brought in...
