What's a good water to vinegar ratio?

Thanks. I'll try some vinegar first and see how it goes :)

Hi, The time has come for me to shut down my 100l soft coral and fish tank and live without an aquarium for a few years. I hope to make a comeback in a few years time, so I was wondering about how to best clean equipment for long-term storage. The stuff I am wondering about is: * Cooler *...

A little update: The big pink leather coral suffered a catastrophic meltdown, and fouled up the water in the emergency tank so bad that it looked like milk and smelled like rotten egg. It had grown twice as big compared to when I got it, so its a bit of a letdown. On the other hand, it had grown...

It seems that all my livestock is alive, and seemingly healthy (i.e. back to their old behavior), so I decided that instead of moving the livestock to the spare tank, I would instead move the LR with the obviously dying coral there. I also did a big PWC, and will continue to do that as long as...

Parameters are: Ammonia: 0 NO2: 0 NO3: 50 mg/l

I did fill up quite a lot of freshwater in one go to get the pump and skimmer going again. I figured that was the best way to get the system running at correct temperature again. Next time I leave for an extended stay I _will_ add an extra heater to the main tank, just in case. I'm out of water...

After running my 100l soft coral tank pretty much smoothly since its inception almost 5 years ago, disaster has now struck. I've been away from an extended vacation, and it seems that I overstimated the amount of time my automatic top-off system could run on its own. When I arrived a few hours...

Hmm, then how about usage as a refugium? What is the safest thing to stick in there that would help increase pod population. Chaeto?

Just to clarify: The tank is connected directly to the 100 l main tank, so in terms of water parameters, putting anything in the small tank should be the same as putting it in the main tank (which is not very heavily stocked). My idea was to put something really small in there that would...

Hi, I have just purchased a small hang-on tank (about 2 liters). I'm looking for stocking suggestions. I've been thinking of a shrimp and goby pair. If I do that, would it be possible to combine with a couple of other small crabs, or a hermit, or a small shrimp? The water flow is not very...

I was browsing my LFS today, and came across some interesting looking LED lights: ¡Ú³ÚÅ·»Ô¾ì¡Û¡ÚÁ÷ÎÁ̵ÎÁ¡Û¥«¥ß¥Ï¥¿¡¡LECOLT(¥ì¥³¥ë¥È)¡¡¥í¡¼¥¿¥¹¡§¥Ó¥ª¥È¥Ã¥×¥¸¥ã¥Ñ¥ó³ÚÅ·»Ô¾ìŹ (sorry, Japanese only) Says 280, 1300, 490 lumens for blue, white, red/blue respectively. What's the "state of the art" re...

No luck yet... in fact, I added a new conch about three weeks ago, and the other day I found his punctured shell as well. Oh well.

My tank has a violent clown as well... he shoots out from his little cave to bite my hand. Really annoying when I'm moving stuff around.

I have no idea which rock he is in... and since I only hear the clicks once every day or two, its going to take a while to find out... Has anyone tried this? X-Terminator Mantis Shrimp Trap | Mantis Shrimp | Traps | Aquarium - ThatPetPlace.com
