    Crypt management

    It seems to be that easy. I'm just in the habit now of trimming the tallest leaf every now and again to keep it in line.

    It grew back just fine but only about half as tall which works for me

    Thrift shop equipment id

    So while walking through my local thrift shop I came across these. A us aquarium inc, and an Amiracle acrylic wet dry style filter. I've never used or seen these before but they have attachments for HOB use but I can't find any information about these. Mainly how is the water supposed to enter...

    Crypt management

    As it was dominating the front of the tank and I have more in the tank I just went all the way with it. The fish seem to like it better with an area to congregate. As it comes back ill keep it trimmed lower and less unmanaged than before.

    Crypt management

    It was an idea i wanted to try. I cut out a section from a 7gallon tall bucket and siliconed it in the corner. The actual filter on the tank is a fluval 307 with the intake and output hoses behind the overflow with the heater and the output is connected to the spray bar at the base. I made it...

    Crypt management

    Thank you all i guess I'll trim a section and see how it reacts. I can't place it in the back when I made the filtration for the tank the spray bar is along the back wall and made the hardscape around it.

    Crypt management

    I started a planted tank 8 months ago and everything has gone well. I've never had crypts before so I didn't really place them well in the beginning and I'd like to trim them but I'd also really like to not kill them. So how would I go about doing that? 40 breeder black sand over seachem...

    Betta fins turning white?

    Looks like fin rot. Continue with the melafix treatment but do a a 50% water change after the week instead of the 25% the bottle will ask for. Youll might need to do more than one round of treatment. Do you know the temperature of the tank? Lowering the temperature down to 75 can help slow the...

    What kind of snail is this?

    Black racer nerite snails are my go to. Their eggs aren't viable in freshwater and they do a pretty good job with algae. 1 for every 5 gallons of tank has been to be a good ratio for me.

    OCD clown fish.

    He seems to be alright if I move things at night once the lights are off and hes in his prepared sleeping area. If he sees me place something he goes to investigate and remove whatever change I made. If he wakes up to a change he doesn't seem to notice. My trumpet and zoas are open and growing...

    What kind of snail is this?

    Looks to me like pond snails. I would remove them quickly as the multiply very quickly and are difficult to combat once eggs have been laid in the tank.

    OCD clown fish.

    I have rescaped my 20 long aquarium and have begun to add corals to the rock work, some zoas, xenia, and a green trumpet. My 3 year old ocellaris is having none of it. He tail smacks the xenia he flips the xoa frag. I watched him grab the coral plug in his mouth and swim upward to dislodge the...

    Issues bleaching rockwork.

    Luckily I think enough of the bacteria survived and I even see pods in the substrate. No rise in ammonia and a slightly increase in nitrate since the large water change. I'm going to do a few more large changes i was just holding off to see if the nitrate would increase.

    Issues bleaching rockwork.

    Story time. I have a 20 long stocked with a clownfish cleaner shrimp and 3 nerite snails. The tank had long since battled bubble algae for over a year. I would remove rocks individually to get large clusters off the rockwork. I used a length of tubing and would siphon out bubble algae in the...

    Zoanthids cause of decline.

    I did mention light on the original 13.5 was a current orbit marine light I never used the stock lighting though I probably worded it strangely. My acan grew 6 new heads under that but then declined in step with the zoas. Its true the old rock work was just transported in buckets direct from the...

    Zoanthids cause of decline.

    June of 2019 i had to move and instead of moving the old 13.5 fluval nano tank i took the opportunity for a slight upgrade to a 20 long with a similar filtration style. The new tank had the same brand of crushed coral substrate and went from a current orbit marine to the same brand newer model...

    Cause for concern?

    This mass has been moving around the plug and frag of my Duncan. Put the endoscope up to in and discovered it was a stringy tubular mass that seems to be able to move bit by bit. Will this grow and reproduce into something more is it harmless do I need to chuck the coral entirely? Sent from my...

    Making an upgrade

    Thanks for the advise. I was thinking about putting some frag rack grid on the bottom of the tank so that the rock never made contact with the glass would that cause any issues of stagnation in the substrate or am I trying to prevent a problem I shouldn't worry about. Sent from my iPad using...

    Making an upgrade

    I currently have an Evo 13.5 that's been running for just over a year and I feel it's time to make an upgrade. I replaced the factory hood and light for an acrylic hood with cutouts for my current orbit marine led. Aragonite substrate and roughly 10lbs of live rock. Current stocking Black and...
