They had this nem at my local Petco labeled as a Condy. I'm pretty confident that's incorrect. Mini Carpet Nem?

I can't help you on the sex of the fish, but welcome. Lots of helpful people in this forum. On the algae eaters, I think your safest bet will be Siamese Algae Eaters. Also, u always can do a Pleco. They are pretty rough on live plants though, if your going that route. I accidentally bought 2...

Yeah I considered that. I'd be interested to see how long a tank lasts. If they last awhile I'd go that route

Ok guys, it's been awhile!! I ventured into marine aquaria and my planted tank has been neglected. Iv still been keeping the tank up but not like I had been. Anyways, my DIY citric acid/baking soda has failed and my tank is suffering the consequences. I'm Dosing with Excell but things are not...

Iv never had or looked at the aqueous kits, but I would say the lights will be worthless if your wanting corals. Also, based on what iv seen with nitrate in my saltwater aquarium compared to my freshwater, which contains canister filtration, I would never consider a reef aquarium without a sump...

Tank is progressing nicely!!

Yeah, I talked to the guy today that sold it to me. Said petco calls them long tentacle but they are the mini carpet nems. Lol like that's not a varying common name, but totally different in about every way possible in species classification than a LTA. Ohhh well, just a good reason to buy...

I purchased this anemone about a month ago at Petco. I was told it was a long tentacle, but I don't believe that is the case. It doesn't appear to be happy right now, as it detached and I randomly find it in multiple areas of the tank. I think it's a rock flower, but it has little to zero...

I done a 20 gallon water change about an hour ago. I just tested some parameters: Ca = 340 pH = 8.1 PO4 = 0 dKH = 8 = 143.2 ppm Nitrate = 10 My nitrate test before, I realized I was comparing it to the freshwater card lol. So I was around 20 before. The macroalgae has been in the fug about a...

That makes perfect sense. I was def going to take your advice. Haha I don't know much with saltwater, just learning along the way. I was just looking at ideal parameters for the specimens I have in my tank and it is currently not in them. My pH, the carbonate hardness are off. Also, the calcium...

Yeah, I know when I dose things are going to be crazy for awhile. Hopefully I can so it slow so organisms can acclimate. I just don't want my setup to limit what corals I want, if I fill I can have them. Iv got adequate lighting and skimmer is working great and the fug is full of chaeto, deep...

Just tested my KH. Reading 7 dKH that's a little low. PH yesterday midday was 8.

10-4. I will do that tomorrow and see what happens. Was planning a 25 gallon change

Hummmmm, crap I just bought them. I will look into those others.

API. It a new test kit, so should be ok. I will recheck it again. That reading was first time iv used it, so I might have done something wrong or counted dropped wrong.

That's what I thought as well. I'm using instant ocean salt. Not the reef crystals, but the regular. My calcium was 340 a few days ago. Phosphates 0, nitrate 5ppm. Haven't got my Mag test kit yet, as I'm not planning on dosing anything right now, just wanting to be prepared.

Ok guys, I am planning ahead and wanting to get squared away with dosing regarding my 100 Gallon mixed reef tank. This tank will be a mixed softie, LPS and maybe some SPS if I want them and feel my setup can support them. For now, my tank is freshly stocked with an assortment of softie frags...

What intensities u running?

Thanks Sniper Hawk. The more in increase my intensity on actinic the more sharp orange the "green corals" appear. I do like the lights, but I also want my corals to look different under actinic as that's one of the things that makes the hobby so fun. Im.going to play with them some. I have some...

Also, got a big piece of radioactive dragons eye zoe, prob 70 polys. They open but under actinic are orange?????

They seem to be great at the price point from what iv read online. Thing that's concerning to me is the colors of some corals in my tank are totally different under actinic than other tanks with different lights. For example, I have some GSP a friend gave me recently. With whites it's green...

I have had my 100 gallon 6' tank running for several months now. I am running 3 of the 165 Watt Chinese LED lights on the system. The lights were purchased under the name of Wellspar on Ebay. They are the ones with the built in timer. Two channels. White, red, and green and actinic on the second...

I decided I wanted to house some pods in my refugium, as I'm looking into a mandarin in the future. Also, I wanted to do a deep sand bed in the fug to help with denitrification. However, bc I had my first baffle of bubbke trap raised off the bottom I could do it. I ended up apply a small...

Finally got it cycled. Added a sailfin tang and royal gamma yesterday. So far they are happy. I'm looking for a light to add inside the stand for my refugium. I'm wanting to do some Cheato algae in my refugium. Everything iv read is saying I need something around 5k for best growth. Anyone have...

Turned lights on for pic. The one spot the sand is blew out from the powerhead. Iv got to get a second one and adjust them as needed.
