    Does an established tank have ich?

    Hi Lee, Thanks. I was told the tank was established 2 years ago but I have no idea how long it has been since something was added. I do have some smaller tanks I can use for hospital tanks and some filters with bacteria already on them so if I need to treat them I can. I'll observe them for...

    That's a thought. :)

    Does an established tank have ich?

    Hi All, How can you tell if an established tank as ich or not? I just got a 125 FOWLR on 2 days noticed (home foreclosure on a friend's parent's home) and want to make sure it doesn't have ich before I add some fish. The fish were in sad shape and looks like they hadn't eaten in a while. The...

    Thanks. Well, if all goes well, the bio pellets will remove the excess nutrients and I won't have to harvest the gha. If the gha keeps degrading at the rate it is now, I shouldn't have any in the tank in an other month or so. :)

    Here are the 2 new corals I forgot. Mummy Eye Sunset monti (left of the Seasons Greeting monti) I thought I would add these pictures of a reddish monti and an Idaho grape monti starting to intertwine with each other. Kind of cool looking.

    Hi Krish, That thought crossed my mind for sure LOL. I'm seeing a good change in the gha so that's good. I would really hate for it to take over. The BRS pellets are 100 % natural Polyhydroxyalkanoates. Not sure what that means and one day I'll sit down and research it but its supposed to...

    My wife gave me a nice little present the other week for the aquarium stand. It's a nice little mermaid that sits on the ledge. Its rather cute so I put her front and center. :)

    Here are the newer additions to my corals. A friend gave me a gift certificate to a lfs and these are what I brought home. :) Cynarina (button coral). Neon green torch coral. I also picked up a nice mummy eye chalice and a Tyree sunset monti frag from a local reefer but I forgot to...

    Here is a couple of pictures of my green acro and frag. They are both under the same MH light (the first MH not the new one) and I think I'm getting better polyp extension. It also looks like the polyps maybe becoming a darker green. I think I can attribute this to the bio pellets. Frag.

    I had to make another box for the 2nd MH because the other box got tossed :(. Anyway, its only temporary until I can get a canopy made. Same ballast, same bulb, different pendent. There is an obvious difference in intensity in light. I had to move the frogspawn, hammer head and...

    Here is the green hair algae at 2 weeks after I started the bio pellet reactor. Sorry, no before pictures (wasn't proud of the gha). Here is the gha 3 weeks after starting the bio pellets. I meant to take pictures of the gha after I did the wc yesterday but forgot.

    Effluent being directed to the skimmer in take. Here is the reactor running. The pellets clumped a bit at first and some floated to the top in the beginning but over time the clumps broke up and most of the pellets that floated to the top sank to the bottom.

    Ok, I've changed some things around at home and at work so I've hadn't had much time to be on line. Its been a while since I updated my build so here we go. :) To start with I got a Reef Octopus BR 140 bio pellet reactor from Bulk Reef Supply and set it up about 4 weeks ago now and it seems...

    Finally! Gina's (NanoReefer411's) 180+tank upgrade! =)

    SWEET!!! Nice pics and great corals. Thanks for the up date. Now I think I will go wipe up the drool of my desk. Wish we had an active club like your's here. :(

    Ok, I guess ppm = mg/L. Need to pump the mg up to 1200-1350. I have some Reef advantage magnesium so I'll follow the directions and use that.

    Ok, mg tested 875 ppm. Time to figure out mg/L.
