Hey guys, posting in relation to my 2.5 month old 55 gallon reef tank. Just to give an idea of stability regarding water params, the tank is faring well, and so far Heliofungia and some other sensitive LPS corals are doing well, signifying to me a constant, stable ecosystem.. My fish seem quite...
So, I bought pukani rock from BRS and put it in a large brute trashcan in saltwater for 1 month with a power head and heater. i did 100% water change on the trash can with my "old" water change water from my frag system once per week after the first month of just circulating the water & i did...
I have a 32G Coral Life Biocube it has been up and running for about 2 months. I used 35lbs of Life Rock instead of liverock to limit the introduction of hitch hikers. I have 3 fish, 10 hermit crabs, and 10 Astrea snails currently. I want to add some pods to the tank to get a population...
As the title ask; I'm wondering if these larger Amphipods and or Isopods will eat the Tisbes or Tiggers that I'm planning on putting in my sump. I'm trying to repopulate my tank for a Mandarin in case the one I have now starves. He's currently starving and I'm trying to save him. Don't want to...
This is my first saltwater fish tank I'm making after many freshwater tanks I have through out the years. I decide to go with a 40g breeder and a 30 gallons sump. I start a thread on another page but this is the right page to keep the progress of my new adventure. I would like to thanks many of...
Head on over to @pdisner and get your hands on some great quality and priced pods and Rotifers! This is a big thank you to him and how he handled my ordering process- It was smooth and went very well. If anyone needs and pods and/or rotifers, head on over to his thread and PM him! Thanks again...
Now that I've caught your attention with the title that everyone screams "Not true!", I'll get to my question.
I started my tank entirely with dry rock, bagged sand, quarantined fish, and dipped corals. As such, I don't have any large (i.e. noticeable) hitchhikers, but I'm sure I have some sort...
When doing maintenance (water change/clean sandbed) I always notice tons of pods in the dirty water. I always have fished out the amphipods before ditching the water, but I'd like to be able to save the copepods as well.
Anyone have any tips/strategies for accomplishing this?
