experiment

Just wanted to share my newest reef experiment! Last week I bought a mangrove sapling from my LFS which sparked the idea to make a very small pico tank housing the mangrove and maybe some macroalgae and or zoas/palys. I ran down to homegoods and found a roughly 3/4gallon cookie jar and threw in...

Has anyone ever designed an aquarium dedicated to black and white *only* fish? Been toying with the notion, but curious if anyone has known of one or tried it themselves… Corals would bring the color to the tank. Some fish options (not saying they all go together of course): Black and white...

Hey ReefKeepers, Came across a giant ship built by UCLA in LA harbor which runs Olivine reactors. Their claims are its slow dissolving and helps with Alk and CA by removing co2 from water. If someone has already used it please share your experience . If not - Would like to run a spare reactor...

Hey guys and girls. Any experience on using/dosing food grade calcium carbonate capsules mixed in ro di to act as a flocculant, bind all the degraded stuff and then dose some bacteria product to remove them from the system. Any opinions? Do you believe it will have any adverse effects?

I want more than anything to have a Harlequin Shrimp.. BUT I also don't want to feed it chocolate chip starfish every other week, that could get expensive and my partner thinks chocolate chip starfish are cute, so that eliminates that option. I have been looking into other ways to feed the...

Hi all, After reading up on the results from @Lasse, and information from @Dana Riddle in regards to the importance of far red and infra red spectrums in lighting, I'm going to conduct an experiment. I have a 300 litre Acropora dominant reef aquarium with 2x Radion XR30 G3 Pros running at 74%...

Hi guys, I'm currently going to do an experiment with skimmers by lowering the salinity (as we know bubbles are smaller in saline water)then compare the difference in waste collected. It's going to be a report for a project so I am going to have a controlled environment where I add controlled...

I know in the world, at the ocean, there is no 24x7 sun. I'm not sure if this is true but I have 'accidentally' experienced this for 2 times, where if the corals are exposed to extended lighting time, seems like they are saying 'enough is enough'. For example today, I've decided to open up the...

They said it couldn't be done!!!! They might actually be right...... So it all started with a deal that was too good to pass up, two (2)... TWO 75 gallon tanks for $25!!! Picked em up from a local hobbyist/LFS worker after putting out an ad ISO: a 75g tank. He told me that they were in...
