    Bigfish's swim into the sea - a tank journal

    It's cheaper at Walmart than online.

    I can give you the file.

    My tank is using two synergy Shadow box version 3 for the overflows. Overall I'd say that they are pretty reasonably done. I have gotten them fairly quiet but I would get a bit of a gurgle from time to time going down the second standpipe. So last night I printed up a little bit of an insert to...

    Like a lot of you, I've been doing this a long time, and in that time I've sort of landed on the theory of doing the best I can with what I have available. That's worked out for me most of the time!

    If course. Here's the thing, I had. No fish loss for several years. Though it must have been existing in the tank. So it may be one of those things where I'll never truly know unless I get an aqua biomics test. And at this point I'm not planning on doing it. I mean it's interesting...

    Here's where I was pointed to that thread.

    Scrolling through humble fish. It's not necessarily a guarantee. But I'm hitting it pretty hard with hydrogen peroxide a couple times a day for a good solid month. You have to do more at first. https://humble.fish/community/threads/peroxide-h2o2-dosing-for-parasites-in-reef-tank.725/

    2 more weeks until the end of the fallow period. Things are seeming better, the 8 urchins and my electric toothbrush are holding the line. I did a chemi-clean treatment and left the lights off for 2 days. Which I always do when I use chemi-clean. The UV really breaks down the erythromycin. That...

    My clams. For those interested, Maxima clams do not like being plopped in the sand bed. They want to be firmly attached to the rock nestled in between your coral! Derasa are the opposite. They want to be in the sand and their byssal are barely attached. Maximas will stay put while Derasa will...

    I can try, I think I mentioned that the only local store in my area is closing down. Over the years. I have developed a pretty good rapport with the owner. All of these high-end chalices came from him, with the idea that when he sets up his personal tank in a few months, he's building a new...

    Here is a walkthrough of the shed. The music was a funny choice. I really don't like my own voice when played back

    I like chalice corals but always feel like they took up too much room. Even in the 320. But while I'm waiting for my fish to get back, I have grabbed a few and put them into this display. Here's some random pictures.

    I'm sure I had Cryptocaryon irritants and uronema existing in the tank for several years. I don't know why I didn't have an issue when everything went from the 320 to the holding tub. For some reason it decided to wait until it went into the 470 display. It's unfortunate because had it...

    Thanks, I took some screen material and looped it in the baffle about halfway down. So the polyfill won't keep pushing down to the bottom. I don't even bother rinsing it. I just squish it in there directly from the bag. And then once a week I pulled that out, throw it out and squish a new...

    Need a copperband that's eating prepared foods?

    Wow, what are the odds one can be added to my order that I will be making the first week of January?
