Hello guys, I have a problem here, I bough a Blue Haliclona sponge at my LFS 2 days ago. I spotted it 1 week ago at the LFS and the sponge was always doing fine. So I finally deceied too buy it and did a rapid aclimatation and putted the Sponge in my 30g tank... I knew (and the LFS knew too)...

1.025 here too! More foam production, I saw the differance!

Ya I know but I dont have any fish or invert that would it the phyto or shrimps.... And I dont have any refugium, so bringing the brine shrimp directly in the main tank would be easier no?? Would brine shrimp be able to reproduce in the main tank? The only problem that I see (except if someone...

^ hmm, the possibility of having green water isnt too much of a conscern: just have to start a filter to eliminate all the phyto... I could try this, but it wont cause a pic in ammonia or nutriment for bad algae?? And that means that if I can have a high concentration of phyto in the tank that I...

Hello guys, I am developping my Filter-Feeder-Only-tank :p And I really need to feed them ALOT since I whant them to grow! BUT I already had a BIG problem with algae and I am REALLY scared of algea!! So I really want that the water quality stays perfect without nutritive element for algae...

Is it possible to frag Sun corals?? I have the project of ordering a big "colony" of them and frag it at the same rythm it grows.... Would it be possible? Does this type of coral grows rapidly when frenquently target feeded?? How do I split the polyps?? Also what is the biggest size I could...

Hello everyone! I want to start a bit of coral farming in my 30G, but I need your advice for Ideas to see what can increase the growth of corals. I am specificaly interested in filter feeders corals (sea rods, Chili Coral, fans...etc). For exemple, the calcium has to be between 400-440. But...

grrrrr..... That "Nemo" abreviation is sooooooooo damn enoying! Last summer I whent to a little LFS and I asked them for the price of there Oscellaris Clown, a women working there said to me: "What???" and his work partner said back "Oh the "Nemo fish"..." Grrrrr! :evil:

Thats awsome! What is the size of your tank? Do Oscellaris need alot of space to breed??

Cool! Interesting post! I think that 30gallons and more is a good choice of tank. Light is depending of what you are farming (see below, I only have PC and its way enough). I have a little seaclone skimer and alot of LR. Dont forget that you have to have I pretty good water quality for your...

Cool too see some other fans of the Seaclone! I'll just tell you guys what I did and what are the setting, meaby it will help you, It took me a will to find the good settings... I also have about 1 cup per week, not bad! :) Here is the mods: -The grey plastic valve has too go to garbage! No...

ehhh, when you say cuttin the tube your are really talking about the iner fiberglass tube hey? (the mode is for that) 'cause in your post you seem being talking about the air intake tube... :?

:lol: , putting fish in a NEW tank? lol, whe seem to hear this often these days. Those guys at your LFS really wanted to make money of you! :evil: Thats no good... Sorry but its too late, if there is still some fish alive meaby you could bring them back to the LFS? 7 days for cycle is...

Here is why youre skimmer isnt working for know: - Too low salinity, you should pump it up to 1.024, no salt=no skim. I use to run my salinity to 1.026 to have my skimmer more efficient -Since youre tank is new, than there is no organic compound to eliminate so no skim again. When the cycle...

I have my tank for now about 4 years, I do Rarely some water change... About 1 each 3 month. My tank was going fine. The water that I add 3 times/week to compensate the evaporation is Way enough to bring enough of important nutriment in the tank I woud say.

Interesting... So that means that it could be a toxic substance released by a coral in certain periods? Do you guys have a common coral?

Is it that usefull? I also have a 30gl for 4 years and I only have about 1" of sand... I also NEVER saw any nitrate...

If those Mantis arent wanted, why dont you guys just flush them down instead of taking the time to return them to the LFS?? They would probably flush it anyway no?

Thanks! I really wasnt sure about the alkalinity. For the calcium I need a refill bottle for the tester... :oops: I think I'm around 370... I will have to test before adding more... What is the ideal? I heard between 400-450... Is it better to be in the higher range? 450?

In my case I got only 12 TurboSnails (and no hermit) and its perfect, they even it all the hair algae!

So is that too high or normal? That means that I have to divide by 17.9 to have the degree? That gives 10?

ok, the carbonated hardness is 180mg/L
