x2 on black worms

this is great, i normally start dosing my tanks with a chart and every amount high, and then add less and less until i reach the perfect balance, but your idea of testing then adding what you need sounds way more efficient. what are your ideal balances of each

try seagrest, not the best source but they have them

yes mine do to, you can scrap them off easily. im not sure if nerites are A sexual. can some one chime in?

ok first, if you know you want live plants then we need to gear your tank to that, what kind of lights do you plan to use? what about substrate? will you add ferts? for a "cleaning crew" i would say ottos, they stay small and a light bio load, and look awesome, as for schooling fish i prefer...

wow this is a hard one, i have both sunsuns and fluvals running, if your tight on money get the sunsun, they do what they are said to do, the down fall is no bell or whistles, the fluval has better media, better pipes, and a more solid and tough construction. the sunsun works but if your not...

for the money I like the no fuss Aqueon Pro heaters, plug em in, set the temp and forget. For one i never trust a heater, i have had a marineland pro fail, ehimes fail, and the cobalts fail, bottom line any maniacal or electrical device can and will fail at some point, just my 2 cents BG

mario75, your tanks are amazing, i love how you can go from a realistic underwater scape showing the true beauty of nature, and then to a scape that reminds me of dry land like theme tanks. just curious what is you fert chart in terms of ML, like daily N,P,K,CO2, trace, and comprehensive mix, i...

so a fast update, i lost my trumpet coral, after the emeralds hurt it, the shrimp moved in and finished the job, the 6 line is a bully and has been removed, i have a royal gramma on the way, and was looking for one other fish to add with the jaw, fire fish, and royal gramma, any ideas. today 25%...

what type of gravel is that? it looks like round pellets, not something im use to handling

the one was pretty big, about the size of a 50 cent piece. no sign of it doing better, but no more flesh has been removed. now the shrimp are picking at it. i think because its damaged

yes, i noticed also this evening that all of my trumpet is gone and eaten, i have removed my emeralds, i lost a 60$ coral today, very mad i must say.

so i had some troubles, i noticed that my favia was showing skeleton, so i did a water change and all prams were in check, then the next day it looked fine, and my trumpet was all shriveled and showing skeleton, today i noticed that one polyp had no flesh left, and the others looked bad, so im...

i have learned that now. it seams to be looking better only 24 hours after

i have used cooking oil before, in fact almost all of my tanks use this method or just spray paint. what i do is get to much background, put it on the tank, and use a razor blade to cut it to the right size, then add just a small amount of oil to the tank and then smooth it all over the glass...

i would say its your lighting. hair grass can be picky some times, i dont think the introduction of DIY CO2 alone will help, try new lights, then CO2 and maybe adding some N. its difficult, dosing in small tanks can get out of whack very fast. how long ago did you put the hair grass in, they may...

im not sure, but when every i start a new tank, it seem to be centered around them. i like the dark look in areas, it makes me feel like im free diving in a river

if the plants dont use it, then the algae will, good luck. as far as BPS, i never really figured it out, yeast is alive so they could make 3 bps today, or .5 bps tomorrow

4 coats, man you have your work cut out for you, i would take a palm or hand belt sander to remove all the poly, if you go to far you will need to re apply stain. you should be able to get marine grade poly at a boat shop, i just use regular spray rustolium. or an all in one stain.

what i did was use a 1oz syringe with about 8" of air line tubing on it, fill with blood worms or what over they will eat, then train them to eat off the tube, soon they will learn that the tube means food, then there is no mess. to get them to eat new foods, what i would do is mix small amounts...
