So I'd mix five gallons and if I got the 2.5 gallon dripper I could use this essentially as an "ATO" and doser at the same time? I get what your saying about it probably not being necessary to dose, but my change water comes low on Calcium and magnesium. I use Ocean water instead of premix and...

OK.... they came out just after I scrapped all the algea off the front and sides and after a water change and a dose of DT's. I just wasn't sure if they were mad or glad about everthing I was doing. John and Dawn says don't worry about feeding as their is already enough food in the water for...

OK... I'm confused about the IV drip with the top off water. are you saying to use that as my top off water. I go through about a gallon a day and I don't know if they have IV bags that big. Or are you saying drip that into my top off water? Is this assuming that I have an ATO? I like...

Yeah that is what someone on reefcentral just said. Does the shell shrivel up and go away as well? Will taking it off harm the shell of the clam? If I'm going to kill it then I'd like to take it off so it isn't so much of an eye soar. Will Joes Juice work? I don't have any Kalk. I almost...

Yeah no worries Jesse. I'll do as troggy reccomends and see if anyone over there can help figure out what it is. How long has it been there that you can remember? What are you doing this Sat? My wife has a continuing education class going all day so I'll be home with Little Mac all day. If...

I haven't heard of anything that you knowingly have in your tank munching on polyps. you should try a dip. John and Dawn gave me a recipe that he dips every coral he purchases in but I forget off hand. I'll try to find it. A lot of people use dips like this in a very small amount of iodine...

I'm new to Candy canes. Are the strings coming out of these polyps how they eat? If not what are they for. They were all out like crazy last night and I thought maybe it was croaking on me and then this morning all is back to normal. I figured they were just feeding but not sure.

it doesn't seem to be hurting the Clam but becuase of the move to my tank It excruting long string slimmy strands and when the current blows them into the mantle it withdraws from that area. you can see in the pics above what I'm talking about. Other than that I don't notice any other issues...

Anyone know what this worm thingy on the side of this clam is? I bought it from Jesse and didn't notice this thing until I got it home. It appears to be bothering the clam so I'm not sure if I should try to remove it or if it's the clams friend or what. Advice would be appreciated.

My Tomato Clown use to do that.

just hope for the best. and cross your fingers. my wife swears by that one.

how hard was it adding that corner overflow after you already had the tank going for a while? Looks really good.

Here's a pic of my first sps. considering this is my first I really don't know too much about them... let me know if it looks healthy and open enough. I'm hoping it will grow over that middle section that doesn't look to good.

I couldn't agree with this more.

the ammonia spike varies. I think average is about 2 weeks... some are much longer. the cycle on my first nano took 4 weeks. i wouldn't add anything... Let nature take it's course and try to be patient. I don't really know anything about biospira though.

i'd say leave the top open put a big zip lock bag with ice in it in one of the back chambers and set up a fan to blow across the top of it. also make sure there isn't anything blocking the flow in or out of the pumps causing them to heat up.

That is the question that there really is no answer to. I think the answer should be when the cycle is complete. Which means ammonia =0 nitrites=0 and nitrates=0. however zoos will do fine before that is complete. I'd say wait another week or so do a water change and then add some stuff...

you just post the image code instead like this. It looks like that is Chaeto... and a little something else. Chaeto is usually just stringy... That leafy stuff is something else.. I think. I've started two tank and got algae on the glass within the first two weeks of the set up..... my...
