    Tank Size Upgrade and Transfers.

    Ok did some web reading and I have a rough plan. The tanks will be near one another and no transport done. Put baserock in tank... sand...fill with 20% new fresh saltwater ...put Power head in for flow and heater ...when temp is just right... Start siphoning original tank water from old into...

    Tank Size Upgrade and Transfers.

    This topic is about moving from one tank to a larger tank. For instance I plan on moving from a 55 gallon to 72 bowfront. I don't have a plan of action yet. I am going to move all the live rock and livestock ...and skimmer to the new one. What's different from a new tank vs new tank having...

    Blackout in Tanks.

    Holy Cow! That is exactly what happened to me when I first set up the 55 gallon. I Saw actual sheets on my sandbed... by morning it was nearly gone...by the time I came home its like my sand had blankets on it...I was :mad: This kept going on for a few days ...though I sucked off the blanket...

    Good corals for starting out

    I think that you could get away with the 30g and the things you want...but here is something to consider. Water chemistry will be sensitive balance to maintain.. You will spend more trying to maintain that 30g with the stock load. Like mentioned earlier you will find awsome deals from members...

    Blackout in Tanks.

    Thanks for the feedback on the blackouts. I only did a 24 hour black out...and then I am putting lights on half the normal time 4 hours... Just to see what happens. It seems its disappeared entirely on my two rocks... and thanks to the link above. I can see that Diatoms and Cyano are very...

    Blackout in Tanks.

    Do you guys know of or have any clear good pictures of Diatoms and Cyano in early stages to help me ID the differences? One time I thought I had redslime and treated the water... it didnt die...it just grew...then suddenly just disappeared over time as I did weekly water changes... i suspect it...

    Blackout in Tanks.

    Cool I didnt know that about the photosynthesis cycle differences. I bit off topic... Diatoms vs Cyano descriptions on the web and small pics have me baffled. They look so similar. How can one tell if you have Diatoms or Cyano on a Rock for instance?

    Blackout in Tanks.

    So the only benefit is really towards algae and specifically Diatom. I just wondered what other benefits there could be. Knowing the sea isnt always sunny ...storms roll in and things like that..cloudy days. I just wondered what benefits does it have to imitate those off days.

    Blackout in Tanks.

    I've been reading about doing blackouts in tanks. Mostly related to Cyano and Algae problems. I was wondering from those who have done blackouts for those purposes. How were your results with the symptoms? I wanted to try this method out if i get another cyano problem in my future. 1. 25%...

    WHOOT WHOOT! I did "SOMETHING" right!!

    On the topic of trapping. How do I capture a Watchman Goby ? I need to get that A-hole out of my tank. Too much rock in the way.

    how to start overflow???

    LFS told me you can drill a hole in the U-Tube and add a nipple on it...and use that pump the CPR's use to start and maintain the siphon. They said this modification is a good idea because if you lose your siphon for what ever reason... you will have an overflow of the tank and a mess. This...

    Who out there are mmorpg addicts? I am currently playing Warhammer online. I started with Dark Age of Camelot.. My first taste of the addiction to this genre. Since then I have played many of the mmo's if not all at some point. I've even had the pleasure of doing core testing (alpha to beta)...

    hare alge

    I dont know your system. I know I had a lot of hair algae and i mean a lot. Soon as I introduced Phosban it died.... I had to literally pick off by hand the chunks though...the remaining algae was too short to grab.... it soon went lime green and died... as I water changed I used a tooth...

    Live Rock and Quanity

    I figured that much. I just didn't think it would have such a impact just adding that amount. Am I wrong to think that having not enough live rock can have a chain of events that are bad?
