according to Aquatek they are still hard to feed because they are so small when they ship them to you.

All Hammer sold. I recommend doing business with Hydro.

+1 prof. Glass and acrylic don't bond together. And if its 1/4" it must be a turtle tank or something, because that would bust instantly with 220 gal in it.

Johnson Supply = winner. Thanks. Mini fridge repaired.

nice.

Even tanks up to 150 gal would be fine with a simple powerhead mounted at the surface so enough oxygen gets dissolved for the creatures. A deep cycle battery designed to be charged all the way down and up mounted to a controller circuit jacked off a cheap UPS would be ideal. If you really wanted to get the most life out of your battery you could use a DC power head(Tunze) to avoid the costly conversion from DC to AC from your batt via a inverter. A large deep cycle could probably power your power head for days. During the summer this would be more than enough as heat would not really be an issue as you could avoid running your lights and heavy pumps for days and the coral will be just fine. The tank would stay plenty cool just by the top being open to the air. Now in the winter you would need to heat, so for larger tanks you might need a generator, If I ever did a 200+ gal tank I would throw in a generator to the total cost.

those are oliva snails and they are snail predatory snails. E.G. they will kill your good snails then die. The common coastal hermits are great for fish only tanks but are too aggressive for reef tanks.

really? I called Grainger and they said they don't carry bare Schrader valves.

Hello, this question is for all the knowledgeable HVAC persons on the forum. Where does one go to buy HVAC supplies and parts? I am looking for a bare Schrader valve with a 1/4" stem.

thanks,

Nick

now you just need something to turn it on when you are not around and you are good to go.

cool concept.

I bet most of the stuff we buy is made in China anyway. Anything that is not made with standard parts is almost certainly manufactured in China.

oh its still nasty dapettit. Take out out and put it in a bucket and you shall get the above results. I have learned that yearly I just have to siphon out my whole bed, strain it, and put it back in.

What worked for me.

1) Took out old filthy sand bed and ran glass bottom

2) Elevated rocks off the bottom so flow can get under them.

3) Took out most infested rocks and cured them in a separate dark QT tank.

4) Replaced sand bed with thin fresh bed cooked in separate dark tank.

5) Used phosphate absorption media and phosphate binder.

6) Water changes.

7) Added macro to the display to compete for resources.

Phosphate kits are not sensitive enough to pick up the levels required by byropsis/hair to grow.

Fishtales, you have no idea what you are buying and where it came from. Collecting your own livestock is actually one of the most ethical and environmentally friendly things you can do.

I put it in my small 12g reef. There is lots of hard and soft coral in there so we shall C.

I am 99.9% they are this.

Looking for a patch of Maiden's Hair algae or other cool macros....

It WOULD be just like sea salt

That is a pretty good guess but I wouldn't bet all my chips on it being harmless. I am sure there are many species that look similar that behave in diff ways. Do you have a six line?

I have used "Blue Vet" red slime remover in the past. It worked really well but I went with 1/2 the recommended dose. It also seemed to have the long term effect of taking out some of my good filtering bacteria as well or killing off enough of something that it started to raise my N levels. It also caused irritation in SPS and total retraction of my yellow polyps for a week or so. I accelerated water changes to give the biological bed a chance to recover. And all was well.

nice, I don't like the stuff growing on the plug though.

I like the way you are defending the damsel! Stick with your boy!
