Inline or drop in?

If that falls through, id take it this weekend

I ran 4 Yellow Tangs and a Clown Tang in my 180. It worked out ok. The aggression was spread out a lot. But in the end I didn't get the school effect just lots of yellow in the tank. Each tang had its own territory. I hope it works out better for you.

Round tanks are a must. There's also special pump requirements for the returns. I've seen specific jellyfish tanks for sale before but they were 5 grand for something like 25 gals. Would make an awesome bedroom tank though.

Got the shipment this morning. Everything looks great. Thanks again.

My father had the same issue. His skimmer was pulling in the CO2 from the stale air in his stand. He wasnt willing to open windows so he bought a CO2 scruber. He's ph was back up and stable after that.

I've got several acans and was trying to get some more info on them as too light levels. Some say it doesn't matter others say low light. I'm target feeding but still looking for optimal growth rate. I'm running 3 150w HQIs and 4 96w actinics with the acans at a depth of 14-20 inches.

Any of these packs left?

What a missed chanced!

My ATO is a different pump/switch combo. Right now its tied to a ph probe then waits an hour before rechecking ph and dosing again. At least I hope that's what I programed. But I premixed the kalk in a bucket and only put the middle water in the reactor. My PM reactor doses from the top.

Ok so I'm guessing I add some flex in it to since it may take abit for things to equal out. But it dosed for 30 secs last night without an issue. I'm just worried about the ph swing from over dosing.

Do I use the ph or time or whatever to pump kalkwasser? Its all on a controller.

I use it as weed control as well. Haven't had a weed since I started.

I should be there along with the wife.

LOL my point. The tub says to mix, settle, then skim. So I'm putting the skimmed section into the reactor to be further mixed and pushed into the tank. I hope that's correct.

So do the settle thing then put into the reactor? I would think its just mix and go with a reactor

I'm hooking up the kalkwasser reactor tonight. The mix says I have to let it settle out and skim out only the middle water. Does the reactor and the stirring make this a wasted task?

Ill be up for something next month. I've spent my "tank budget" this month.

Is that 10 3/4" frags for 150?

I have Aquaroche. It takes abit to get going but I would easily do it again. Just dont forget to rinse off the pieces before you put them in.

Did the other guy come buy it from you?

I do admit that I have "liberated" afew fish from petco now and again in the recent years. ( A rough looking Naso being the latest whos now doing very well) While I havent had any huge issues Im sure its different from store to store.

Its really a roll of the dice imo

I'd love that black sun coral! But I'm away from the house until end of the month. If its still around Ill buy it.

I did the 2L bottle trick. It took five minutes for the fish to swim in. I baited it of course. Search youtube for fish trap.

If you really wanted to get into it, youd have to trade out half of the genetic line. Only keep some and pair them with a outside source that you rotate by region.( this month its island chain D) I hope this is all the stuff that major saltwater breeders are doing for these fish that are now "tank-bred". Not to mention that captive programs are already showing effects on their products. I read an article somewhere that some of the captive bred clowns lack the gene need to find anemones. The gene they little fish use in the wild to find host anemones out of the reef.

If I end up with a clown that has a lazy eye, 3 pectoral fins, and swims in circles at the bottom, Ill know who to blame.
