I really like that sump. Who built it and how much if you don't mind me asking? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Running biopellets and dosing nopox... they can cause your skimmer to go nutz. But I think its from most of my diatoms dying off

My skimmate is rediculous right now. This is after one day. Its so black.

Man aiptasia is crazy. I just found a head of it about a foot away from either of the frags I got. Im assuming it came from the frags. I had good luck a few years ago with a couple peppermint shrimp knocking out a bad infestation. Hope it works again. I was hoping to get some pods, well that...

Do duncan heads sometimes split or do they just sprout new ones? A couple of heads on mine are becoming really oval shaped and kinda look like their going to split.

I would use the float valve. Eventually you will forget about it and have some water on the floor

Nice. I just got a really cheap one right now. I add a water conditioner too to be safe. The next one I get I'm going to spend the extra money and get all the bells and whistles like automated flushes, pressure guages, and tds meters.

What kind are you going to get?

Well the biopellets seem to working pretty darn good. I started dosing nopox last saturday and wasn't really seeing any drop, if anything it was slowly raising for the next week. Im thinking it wasn't all that effective on its own because I only have about 40lbs barely live rock because it was...

Yea im gonna try to get a vortech next month too. But I also really need a controller, because im somtimes gone for days at a time, so that will probably be first.

They r good. The spots were gone the next day but they will still be treated. Im going to use a hang on filter on the qt, so im running it on the display now to help the cycle.

Hey dimdim. Did you ever use them bulbs on the light you got off ebay, or did you switch them out right away?

So my reactor with the rox carbon completely clogged within a week. So I got a filter bag to run the carbon, and started running biopellets in the reactor. I know there's a lot of mixed reviews on biopellets so wish me luck.

Probably just hyposalinity, so I dont have to worry about trace copper if I qt inverts in the same system later. **edit** when I qt future inverts. Im gonna get a few for now. But after I start treatment everything from then on will be qt'd.

All I have is the two fish so they will both be getting treated.

Well this totally sux. Looks like my tanks gonna be on hold a couple months. The smaller of the two clowns has ich. Oh well better now than later I guess. So ill be setting up a qt within the next few days. I might go ahead and get a few more corals so I have something to look at in the display...

Got my first fish last night, two onyx clowns. Oh and a small frag.

Ita alright to vacuum the top layer. If you got enough flow down there to keep it clean then its just gonna blow all over the place. It becomes a real pain in the ***.

Oh yea I ditched the deep sand bed. I like them but the oolitic is too hard to vacuum. Right now its bare bottom but ill probably add some fiji pink or some thing that dont easily vacuum up.

Man I just used that stuff the other day. Hope it works out:/ actually that stuff says it dispenses white and dries clear mine didnt. But it looked the same, except mine was the small tube.

Took a year, but Im back. I think im done cycling, but I dont have ammonia test kit. I got two new eheim 75 watt heaters (they're pretty nice), a small reef octopus media reactor with vertex rox .8 carbon (that stuff is rediculously small and barely works in the reactor), 12 oz. chemi pure elite...

which reef octopus do you have carey?

Lmfao.... That is a funny story. Disappointing, but funny.

I suggested that last week. Apparently she don't like them either. They are probably my favorite reef safe ones.
