I don't really QT fish unless there's other fish in the tank. The QT process is very stressful for a fish and can make a disease they are already fighting take hold. I would have a hospital tank going so that if a disease does present, they can be moved over for treatment, since you don't want...

General rule is 2-3 weeks. Are there fish already in your main tank?

It's up to you. A lot of people do it.

Tunze 9002. Love mine.

Looks more like a clove polyp that the aiptasia I had. But can't tell for sure.

Brad, Would it be possible to post pictures of what you are talking about? With custom systems it is very hard to go by a description. If you were talking a bio-cube, we'd all know what you were talking about. Harder in a custom.

A little overkill but with those options and the want for a clam... 70 prolly wouldn't be enough. Watch out though... a 150 will likely bleach some softies. So, I would recommend starting everything on the floor of the tank and then moving it up.

It will take at least 2 weeks to fully cycle. If you don't start seeing something soon. Get a shrimp from the grocery store fish counter... Just one. And toss it in to rot.

You don't NEED a PS, though I'm liking mine now. However, 2 fully grown clowns get a bit crowded in a 10 gal. Also, a BTA (or any anemone for that matter) isn't generally recommended for either a new tank or a small tank. A new tank isn't stable enough, and a small tank has issues with, if...

I dose trace element if I skip my weekly WC (LAZINESS) and I dose Tech-M weekly. For some reason it's almost ALWAYS a bit lower than I like it.

and we soooooo thread jacked. i had a pair of clowns and a ywg in a 10g. from babies but they got 20L digs recently and are swimming like michael phelps.

i did one better. my new 20L setup is on a highboy dresser with only a few inches of ledge on each side and 4 feet off the ground. of course i have to get my stepladder to work in the tank, but the cat cant get fish and im replacing my clown goby and neon goby soon.

I have a tally going at the moment in my aquarium log.

not one that she can't remove. She's got skills. Her fish death count is 7, though one she just startled till it jumped out.

I ignore my cichlids and they thrive, breed even... I ignore my saltwater, the hair algae and bryopsis overthrow the coral.

I think my turbos would yell "bring it" and eat my hermits. But my hermits are the no-violent sort... the cortez ones or whatever and my turbos are HUGE. I think ur snail is dying.

Clown gobies are one of my faves. Unfortunately, my cat kept catching them... however, they're on my future short list.

I will agree to disagree. Fewer larger wcs actually are more effective in nitrate reduction as ur removing them faster than they can rebuilt. However, if u don't know how to PERFECTLY match water stick with more smaller changes. I do 9 gal. Weekly on my 20L and my nitrates don't break 10ppm...

From what I've experienced, the glass/ alcohol seem to be the most accurate over the long term. If u read them right. But really, in reefing, exact temp isn't as important as stability.

Anyone have one? Do they like it? I'm doing my 20L build and bc it's sitting on an antique dresser, I can't overflow and drill. So, I'm wondering if anyone has one. Also, do they use the protein skimmer you can buy with it? Or should I go with the Tunze Nano? I've been skimmerless in the...
