Marine Depot & Algae Barn.
I would like to share my experience with those 2 sites.
I've ordered a Cleaner shrimp and Pincushion from Marine Depot. Few days latter received notification that my package was shipped. 5 days!!!!!! later my package arrived with both animals dead. I've contacted...
I introduced 2 clowns to my new tank yesterday. I've asked a sales person "what do you feed to them?" Mysis shrimp he said. I've bought the package of frozen mysis. Tried to feed clowns this morning and see them taking food in their mouse and spit it out. What to do?
My tank is 120gal. 40lb of live rock, 40 lb of dry rock and 80 lb of dry sand. I've started cycling with Dr. Tim's on 2/11. on 2/18 ammonia spiked to 0.25 and on 2/23 went down to 0. Nitrite spiked on 2/18 and went down to 0 on 2/27. Nitrate spiked to 50 on 2/20 next day down to 10. Now
Salt...
I have a 425xl and planning to start a refugium. The place for refugium will be just after filter socks and before the skimmer.After the skimmer the water flows to the return chamber via sponge. My question: How will the pods enter the tank if there is a sponge on the way?
One week of cycling with live and dry rock, dry sand.

I have syncra sdc 7.0 wifi controllable pump. Every time I try to connect to this pump's network, message "Internet not available".
My home network has no problems. I've contacted Sicce and so far no reply. Please help.
I'm in a process of setting up Red Sea REEFER XL 425 112-Gallons and thinking of purchasing EcoTech Marine VorTech MP 10 propeller pump 1500 gph. Will 2 pumps will enough for this size pump or should I go up MP40? Or go with 2 Maxspect XF230 Gyre Flow Generator Pump 2300gph
I installed 6 stage RO?DI system, flushed it and ran for a while. TDS meter registering 4 ppm. The water supposed to be 0. Should I trust it or calibrate it or buy some other means of testing? What do you use for calibrating yours?
Thank you.
I'm full of questions. But, if I don't ask I'll never learn. And I like learning from somebody else mistakes.
Next question. Power. Will I need a dedicated 20Amp outlet for 100gal tank?
Thank you guys for your help. The reason I asked a about gravity feed because I read an article that said that gravity feed is asking to flood your house. That float valves fail. Is it possible to introduce some redundancy like second float valve?
Does anyone using a drip system for top up? My RO/DI storage tank is in the garage, and I'm thinking of running tubing from storage tank through the wall to top up reservoir with some kind of a needle valve to drip DI.
Thank you for your reply. I already settled on a Red Sea REEFER Deluxe 350 91-Gallon Saltwater Aquarium (did not buy it yet).
When I've had my 55 I was successful in raising and trading LPS. And that what I'm planning to start with, and add SPS along the road. For now I'm just comparison...
