Are the lights new to the tank? It is my understanding that a diatom bloom is caused by high levels of silica. Have you added sand or rock recently? Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

You just have to play with it. If you had two tall islands you could point your 1200 across the tank at the top of the farthest rock pile. This way it defuses some up the power and doesnt move a ton of sand. My small 420 just keeps the detritus from building up behind the rocks where i cannot...

My lights are off right now but here a pic. Im in the process of buying more coral and a few more rocks. You can see from the second picture even where the rock is touching the glass its not too dirty Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Its all good. This thread is a good place for everyone to post pics and ask questions. My tank is tall and narrow or i would have split my rock. I love the island scape look. I would recommend you getting some more bry rock. These nanos need all the filtration they can get. Im currently at...

In some places my lr is touching the glass. Its really just a preference. If you want your tank to be easy to clean with nothing in your way of curbing the glass then that probably the way to go. I personally don't mind the glass a little algae where the rock is on my glass. Ive found that a few...

IM BACK. The tank and most of the inhabitants survived. I lost a fish a few days after being here. My frog spawn and my rastas died as well. Since my last post over a year ago I've been battling this tank. Three different types of algae and a terrible maintenance schedule with my new job and NOW...

Im looking through the forum and can't find a spot to ask my questions about packing and shipping/transporting livestock. There would you suggest I do this? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

The move is on. I've been in GA since my last post. We closed on a house Dec, 19th and we move in the fourth. Can't wait. Well I can't wait to be there. But the packing is killing me. I will be taking the tank down the third and packing it for the 12 hour drive. Should be interesting. My wife...

I hope that means this winter will be less polar than last year Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

We are moving to Canton GA. Thyssenkrupp made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Should be fun. Im not sure about the weather. Im a true Floridian, sun surf and sand is all I know. I guess I'll have to get use to mountains lakes and streams Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Just an update. It has been so freaking busy around here. My 14 month old is cutting teeth. The company I work for is promoting me and we have to pack up are house and move 10 hours away in 2 weeks. I don't think I'll be on here very much the next month or so but I will return. Glad you see...

That is a beautiful piece. Your tank is stunning as always Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Aren't you an engineer? What size wire would you run from the transfer to the box. Do you have to figure out total amps for the entire house. Or do you just go with # 5 , 6 wire Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Until you've actually got the ng generator I think you're wasting money. Just use the main breaker in the panel so you don't backfeed and kill the lineman restoring your power Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I do the same thing. Works great. That usually how we keep the hurricane parties going Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
