Yes the sauce container will work, so will the netting. I also used the netting trick when I frag mushrooms.

peppermint shrimp do work.(see my thread in the tips and techniques section) https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/vb/s...shrimp-do-work

Sooner or later I believe everyone in this hobby will have to deal with Apstasia. Ive tried everything from Joes juice to lemon juice and even peppermint shrimp. None of them worked, until now. My tank was over run with 100 plus apstasias, they were also in my sump/refugium. About 3 months ago I...

When drilling the holes, use a Forstner bit, it is used for drilling wood. It will drill a cleaner hole and it has a starting point which will dig into your work and not wobble off center when you start drilling.

I dont use bridal veils, I use hair nets.

I never doubted it. lol

I used to have sand but then I fell for all of the hype over miracle mud and switched to it. I wished I hadnt. I dont see any benefits to it and a big negative is that it is easily disturbed.Every time that I harvest my macro, I get a big cloud of muddy water that overflows into my return area...

Wouldnt the powerhead have kept the water oxygenated?

About 6-8 months ago I made a batch of water. it is RODI water. I mix it up in a dedicated 20 gallon trashcan. My tank is a 45 gal with another 10 gals in a 20 gal sump. Now usually I would change about 15 gals a month but during the winter month I change about 5 gals a week because its too cold...

You have to be patient, it hasnt been a week yet. Dont disturb it, let it do its thing. It was doing good peeking out through the netting wasnt it? Give it time. Thats the most important thing to have in this hobby, patience.

I was looking at my tank today watching my Occellaris swimming against the current as she normally does. Then I dropped some food in and when she swam to the top I could see that the one eye has become a milky gray. The other eye is black as normal. Does anyone have any idea what this is and how...

Your tank isnt old enough to support a mandarin, it needs plenty of copepods to eat. I would wait at least a year for your live rock to be populated with enough pods.

Yes either way will work, just make sure all wires are color coded correctly.

Old bulbs, dirty water and slow movement are all recipes for aipstasia. Try doing water changes more often and increase the water flow in your tank. How old are the bulbs you are using? It may be time to replace them.

If you live in town, Im assuming you live in a larger city which has a water filtration system. That is your problem. The chemicals used in cleaning the water are putting phosphates in it. Soap or most cleaners contain phosphates. That is one of the drawbacks of using DI water, you have to...

Phosphates are the main cause for hair algae so I would check that again. Are you using tap water? Cant really suggest how much to cut back on your lights since you didnt say how much you run them although cutting back lighting can always help to rid algae.

It would be a lot easier to explain if we saw pics of exactly what you have.

Way overstocked. With that many fish, you would need a 55 or a 75 gal tank.

I bought a new 20K bulb today and now it looks better. The original bulb was a 10K which I found out will give off a yellowish hue. I figured that the blue from my VHOs mixed with the yellow from the 10K MHs is problably what made the water appear green. Who knows but all is well know.

Yes, that shows that it is fine. Youre on your way to fragging other Corals.
