    Brandie's 210 Upgrade

    Alrighty Erin! (@Kensington Reefer) Stay on standby to catch that Achilles! Once my purple and blue look better, I'm going to be transferring them over! I'll keep you posted ^.^ The rest of the fish went over in the 210 today with the exception of the female mandarin. I stressed out my tangs...

    aqua-nut's 120 - getting back to salt!

    Looks like asternia stars to me. My 90 is covered with them. I've heard mixed stuff on whether they are good or bad. If corals start to look bad, and you see them, take them out?

    biopellets and bacteria problems in sand bed

    Skimmer probably gets most of it though :) next best thing, haha ^.^ Marc also recommends that the gph be between 300-500 gph to keep pellets from clumping, for the larger tanks. 200-300gph for smaller tanks, but he mentioned you want a nice vertex of pellets going so they work to their max...

    biopellets and bacteria problems in sand bed

    Marc Levenson of Melevs reef suggests that you plumb in your effluent directly into your skimmer pump so that any dead or dying bacteria isn't released into the tank and settled in the sand bed for that reason. Here is the link he sent me on FB http://www.melevsreef.biz/node/196 and that's...

    KPAquatics and Saltwaterfish.com Orders

    Thank you for the offer but the shells I'm getting from SWF are covered in coralline. That's why the shipping is expensive >.< the shells are not only homes for my hermits but will be my coralline seeds for the 210. :) And darnit! I should have posted sooner Jim! :( Merp. Oh well. If I have to...

    KPAquatics and Saltwaterfish.com Orders

    Hey all, I'd like to place an order with both these places sometime next month possibly. I need shells from SWF and my jawfish from KPA. I'm not too worried about KPA shipping but with SWF, the shells are like, $15 and the shipping $40. Please, if you want to order anything when I do, PM me! I...

    Brandie's 210 Upgrade

    Haha thank you :) I swear by autofeeders ;) I have two eheims right now, but may look into the apex ones later on down the line. I keep ocean nutrition formulas one and two in my autofeeders and I have healthy, happy fish. I supplement with frozen every few days or so, depending on what I plan...

    Kessils and Coraline growth

    Hey all, As I am sitting here going back and forth between lighting options, I was wondering if there was anyone who had kessils on their display tanks and what they thought of their coraline growth. I have a Kessil on my big tank right now, just so there is some kind of light on it for the...

    I have to say that I'm in love with my two spot bristletooth tang! I finally have up on a white tailed bristletooth tang and grabbed the two spot Matt has had in his fish system for almost a month. Since he was so tiny I out him in the 210; hoping that he'll put on some growth before I add my...

    Brandie's 210 Upgrade

    So a quick little update: added a handful of fish yesterday and another dose of Macrobacter7. Fish batch list has been followed but not to a tee; that's OK, it's more like a guidline anyways. I now have to save up for my jawfish and neon gobies then I can finally start taking out fish from the...

    Brandie's 210 Upgrade

    Perhaps. I know what the idea is but have no idea how to incorporate. Would need to do more research first. Unless I understand it 110% I'll be confused and probably screw something up LOL!! But I have heard great things about them :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Brandie's 210 Upgrade

    You're right, I won't get the full benefits, but my sump wasn't set up without some thought process. Both Matt F. and Gresh have had a hand at setting up sumps/fuges for stores with heavy bioload and decent nutrient export in mind. They seem to work well for the heavy bioloads that Matt M keeps...

    Brandie's 210 Upgrade

    Sorry, meant macro and not Marco. I was hoping to have some ochtodes and dragons tongue for macro algae in the DT. Blennies and tangs are pretty good with algae, but everyone keeps telling me about fix faces and rabbit fish. Thinking of trying a mag fox face myself. Sent from my iPhone...
