Aren't you on vacation? Which means no one is poisoning your house/tank with CO2? ;)

I meant co2 scrubber. Not specific to carx.

Aquatic Collection got some pitho crabs in today so I picked some up this morning to add more to the tanks. Here's one of them in QT already munching on some bubble algae covered rocks I threw in there.

I don't use kalk. I tried once, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference for me, but I don't have much evaporation, so I wasn't able to comfortably put more kalk-laced top off water in the tank. I think you can mitigate the pH decrease other ways. A secondary reactor will help. You can...

This is not metal halide as much as the marketing claims. Visibly it may produce a visible color like metal halide to our eyes, but it is missing quite a bit of UV-A compared to what metal halides produced. Does it matter? Maybe, maybe not. Photosynthesis can, in general, take advantage of UV-A...

I just ordered this to give it a try. https://a.co/d/1zJX8x1

I usually always have chaeto available. PM to arrange a pick up time.

I have a Vectra M2 pump...will that help? :p

There should be. Two people have requested and there are (were) five bags. I always have some extra chaeto though between all the tanks.

Castro Valley

I have five bags sitting outside. Two are claimed. Let me know if you want one.

Have a two gallon bucket of chaeto. If you want some, let me know by today, otherwise it's going to the compost.

Thanks. I think I'm good for now.

If I grow them to adults, I'll prolly feed and gut load them with spirulina powder. Plus I have this on hand from other fish "projects".

Oh and if you're close (Castro Valley) and want to pick some up, I have too much, feel free to bring a jar and grab some. Today would be the best day since they hatched yesterday and will be at their most nutritious state for another 24 hours (there still some yolk sac left from hatching).

I just started hatching brine shrimp for wrasses and copperband in QT. They are actually really easy to hatch. It's so easy to do, I'll probably started hatching them regularly and feeding to all the tanks. I'm heating the water to 82F and it looks they start hatching in 10-12 hours. I did have...

Yeah, I never bother heating water and haven't for years.

:D Strainer didn't even work...more reason to get rid of it. Need to make your weir width smaller it sounds like too.
