what supplements do u use and how often do you do wc's?

anything new lately?

Placing the refugium above the main tank allows for a free flow of the critters back into the main tank without going through a pump and also allows easy viewing. Locating the refugium in your sump or beneath your tank is fine as well. Some critters will get shredded in the pump on thier way to...

well i added some algae and lighting.

Thanks for the compliment. As far as the 2nd sump, well by definition a refugium is nothing more than a refuge from predation. Sessile inverts and other delicate species need a place to call their own and the advent of the refugium was just the ticket! Isolated, but connected to the main display...

In my opion I should first focus on what I have. I know when I eat a balance diet and plenty of water I feel and look better. Why shouldnt that be differnt for our pets. Upgrade food and vitamins is benefiticial,and least expensive in comaparsion. Next, IMO all my previous tanks suffer when...

or Maybe a 6line wrasse or 2 ocellis tank raised clowns. This pic is my refug

But Maybe a few piecs of coral could bring out the color of tank.

Or, 3. Focus on inhabitants feeding: I need to get better food. Frozen Mysis from San Fran bay has only 25% protein zooplanton. But Cyclop_freeze buffet has 60% protein. I soak that w/ Seachem Reef Plus. But what if I soak Cyclop w/Coral vite.

Ok we all have to agree the biggest quality we all have to have in this hobby has to be patience, the one thing I sometime lack. So what would you do if you had only a limited budget. Right now all I have in my tank is a beautiful recovering sun coral, bubble coral frag( I think) a watchman goby...

I've yet to set up QT but I also have a high loss rate. IMO acclimtion is very importnt and tranferng livestock should be as stressless as possible. They have already been through a lot, but the hardy the animal th better. Every animal is differnt and water paramters are diffrnt fo revery tank.

im only hour way from natti, anybody where a good store is there?

bout hour and half away from reef systems. we have 3 in our area. For emergency go to local pet store that have small selectons(srry Jack Aquarium patrons). Never been to reef sytems though. Heard there was another not far. Cant rember the name.

my wc will be this weekend. Next step is rplace light bulbs and start on coral collection. i figure after that need refug up and running, maybe add some pods.
