Bump.

Hello, I'm still working on an aquarium project and one way I want to add more detail and accuracy to it is by using calcite, not aragonite, sand. I've looked online and all I can find is calcite media used for water and plumbing and while I'm wondering whether that will suffice, I also want to...

Pictures Here's the light when it's not on and here's the light when it's turned on, along with another ambient light source illuminating everything else and here's the light with no other lights turned on. As you can see it's extremely bright and my anems really like it! I can go with...

bump. also posting pictures later

My friend gave me one of his old actinic lights and despite appearing rugged it still works really well. My anemones love it and I'm sure any other anthozoans will as well. I'm trying to trade it in for an aquaclear 30 or higher, but it doesn't matter if it's used as long as it still works...

Since I'm having a hard time getting microalgae right now, does anyone know how fast chaeto can uptake nutrients? Is it substantial enough to starve out the dinoflagellates? I've torn the softball sized wad in my refugium and now have something about half the size of a golf ball, and so I'm...

I'm also considering just adding a different, actually edible species of microalgae to the main tank (spirulina again? or maybe green hair algae) to out compete the dinoflags, only to be eaten by the snail, giving any other nutrients back to the chaeto and bacteria.

They look so much happier right after I feed them. :D The only thing that sucks is that I see dinoflagellates starting to creep in, but since they're in powdery form right now, I'm hoping my UV sterilizer (50 bucks, pretty good investment) can suck the dust up and clear them out for the most...

I'm gonna have to feed them everyday then lol.

Here are the little lovelies. First one was taken earlier this week to show to one of my friends that also found my project interesting, last 4 I just took. I collected 8 from the pools. What happened actually was the tank underwent a series of snafus involving aiptasia and dinoflags so I...

Tank's cycled, added chaeto, bumped salinity to 1.026-1.029 ish, mostly got rid of dinoflagellate problem, have some anemones and turban snails but will add other species later as I continue my paleontological research, etc etc.

Thanks, guys. The thread's views are waaaay more than the posts, lol. The duct tape isn't touching the water at all, which is very good. A problem I'm starting to have is slime algae growing on the bare bottom and it's starting to cover the macroalgae!!! What'd be the most cost effective method...

Bump because I don't think anyone's checking out this thread anymore and because I added this really great looking macroalgae from the tidepools (Scinaia Confusia or Ahnfeltiopsis Linearis I think?) to the refugium. The aquarium gets good light (not too intense, the tank still stays in the...

Lol I'm just kidding about needing the silicone, because today I got rather creative with building a makeshift sump out of very simple stuff and so what I did was get some soft plastic mesh (I used this for growing java moss) and somewhat "rolled" it into the little chamber for the sump. To give...

Although the tank's currently cycling with the Aquaclear unmodded, I checked out this link and it looked pretty interesting. Only problem is I don't have aquarium silicone. I'm wondering if I can hold the grids using clips or something, and I'm also wondering where I would put the Aquaclear...

Alright, I'll probably stick with the unmodded filter for a while then, lol. Stocking plans include limpets, chitons, anthopleura spp., sea squirts, and other anemones/sessile inverts in general near my area. I'll start off with anemones though.

Interesting. Another concern for transportation I have is if the low pressure diff could harm any animals. I've heard of a story that someone brought a hamster on plane and it died from exactly that. Aside from that, I started the tank yesterday, but in a simpler manner. I did a lot of...

I'll def look into it. At this point all I'm wondering is if the aquaclear is fine as it is or if it requires any extra modding to be made into a sump/refugium? I'm also curious about include if it'd ever be possible to put clear sheets on the sides of the aquarium, like cellulose acetate or...

Yup, I've seen it firsthand lol. The ones I had in my 10g would multiply and some would detach and float around to a diff spot or slide somewhere else.
