This past sunday my niger trigg just made a snack out of my SFE. Leaving for church sunday morning I seen the 2 scuffling in the back of the tank kicking up sand. I didnt think anything about it. By the time I returned, 2 hours, the eel was nearly ripped in half as with skin all peeled away...

We'll Ive hijacked this thread and apologize. They are red slimy things that attach to glass but have been there for weeks without multipying. Ive never questioned them but will look into, and I greatly appreciate the responses. maybe I can get a photo later and start a new thread.

Shyfish, You stated they are good unless they are red. In my caulerpa copepods are everywhere but I am also seeing reddish things in there. What is bad about them and should I be doing something about it?

Thanks florida joe So with my FOWLR setup I should be alright by just removing water and leaving the precipitate behind?

Instant Ocean Sea Salt

Tryed making salt water for the first time and outcome does not appear correct. I put 13 g of RO/Di water in a 32 gal container and mixed in 6 cups of instant ocean salt. While using a maxi-jet with venturi and a heater the salt seemed to mix and dissolve fairly fast. After walking past...

Fats71 Im in Il right across st louis. Seems odd water temp would go down from Mo to Fl.. LOL Its 42 deg here right now and I know that water line runs straight up the basement wall. with the earth and concrete wall that line must be pretty chilled.

I measured waste to product and have 3.75 gal to 1. Also took a temp in the product that was 57deg. When I recieved unit it was preassembled; I just had to connect the dispensing tubing, drain tubing and the feed valve & tube. Did double check and the restrictor is in waste line. So maybe the...

yes the water is pretty cold going through. No I have not measured amount waste water per gallon of product. The stream outta the waste looks pretty hard from the 1/4 tubing as the product tube is just dribbling. Getting late for me so tomorrow I'll get a measurement. Thanks for any help and...

I just got an WaterGeneral 6-stage 110 gal/day Reverse Osmosis Water System+2DI filters system and it is only producing about 5 gals in 3 hrs time. I connected it through my utility room with garden hose attachment and the gauge is reading 50 psi. Im pretty dissapointed and wondering if anyone...

The PH's are new. I'm really at a loss about how the damsels reacted. After installing the PH's, damsels burried in and would not move, thought one was going to die. I unplugged 2 new PH's and they gradually started moving around again. Now running the PH's again they do still move around...

yesterday I added 2 koralia 1's (put on back facing front). Damsels seemed to freak out. have not come out of hiding all day. 1 actually appeared today laying down gasping. Did a search for help and seen this thread. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/331085/help reading question about stray...

saltn00b, you stated "you want to be at at least 10x tank volume in in-tank water turnover (gallons per hour)." I hope this is not too stupid of a ? but does that only pertain to power heads? I have a Supreme magnetic Drive pump that states 950 GPH and my water is pushing hard on top from right...

I edited last post to fish we would would liked to have so I guess I'll have to rethink my fish inv. Our 90g is the 4ft model.

Ideally I would like to have something of the following a lion, porcupine puffer, niger trigger, blue hippo, powder blue, and naso tang. Which of these fish would not be compatible together? Thanks for all you advice.

Thanks for all the fast responses helps alot. We will definately purchase more powerheads and get our water change done. We originally were planning a reef, but decided to do a FOWLR set up instead. We are wanting more aggressive fish like lion, tangs, and a niger trigger, just making sure...
