Tank philosophy: Keep it simple enough so it doesn't stress me out, keep it challenging enough to keep me interested. Start Date: 04/04/2018 Equipment: Tank: AIO tank - Nuvo 20g, with a black glossy stand Light: 1 Kessil A160WE with controller ATO: Innovative Marine Hydrofill Ti + Tom's...

Too crowded, IMO. I like to give those fish some swimming space. It's like living in a studio apartment with 4 kids. That said, some people can manage to pull it off with diligent maintenance and care. But I would find it stressful. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

@JVU Smart level security seems like a good and affordable redundancy. I think I'll give it a try. Since my ATO controller was still in warranty, in the meanwhile Innovative Marine sent me replacement probes for it. But after this experience I'll definitely add some redundancy to the ATO...

Few days ago, my IM Hydrofill TI ATO controller failed. Luckly I noticed this before any water spilled onto the floor from my IM 20g tank. Also the change in salinity wasn't too wild to cause harm to any livestock. However this has made me restless and I want to add a backup switch to prevent...

If its not taken yet, I'd love to have it!

Ah should've mentioned in the original post, located in Sunnyvale.

Some love Xenia, some hate it. I personally like the nice wavy and pulsating motion it brings in my tank. With Xenia comes the housekeeping it needs. Its that time again to trim it. I can make small (one or two stalks) or medium frags (baby fist size). PM if you need some. Edit: Location...

@sfsuphysics Thanks for the tip. The best part is, pagination works there! :)

I feel like I miss out on lot of cool threads because pagination doesn't seem to work on the main page of the website. How are others accessing content on the website?

Still trying to get back the original color on this Sunny D. They changed from pale white (post tank crash) to brown. But its been about 6 months, no new polyps. Color seems to be improving after dosing amino acids.

This thread brought my attention to something I had never thought about. Now I feel apprehensive about the container I am using (material: polyester). What containers are others using for Kalk dosing?

@rygh The material for the Jar is Polyester and the Lid is PET plastic, Synthetic rubber.

Good that the tank is safe! I've been using this container for storing my RO/DI water with Kalk. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20257495/ Even though it says dry food storage, I haven't encountered any problems so far.

I've been using Purigen for more than an year now on my 20 nano tank (previously a 8 gallon). I replace it every 4 months or so, generally when it gets really brown. I did have a tank crash when I tried to regenerate it after bleaching it. But it was probably carelessness on my end. Since the...

Thanks! I am now inclined to get a purple firefish. Will research it's care requirements. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I have a IM 20 gallon tank and it's been housing a clown pair for about 6 months now. The pair has been mated for about one and half year over all. Apart from that it has a fire shrimp, emerald crab and 5 snails. Planning to add one or two more small fish to this tank. Looking for suggestions...

I generally see diatoms as a good sign of my tank heading towards maturity. This is the phase when excess silicates in the sand and on the rock get consumed. As pointed out by earlier comments, it gets brown first, green then and eventually purple. Be patient, you are in this game for the long...

That's much better!
