That looks like a young stomatella to me. I have a bunch and when they're little they're white/almost translucent

Ten day check-in - algae is growing great so far. I think this could be a great help to those of us who don't have space for a fuge and still want some solid nutrient export. So far no leaks, no compliants, 10/10 product.

Thanks guys - I'm going through all the humane options before I start exploring the others, but ultimately it may be me wearing three hoodies and a couple covid masks climbing up the house with some borax and dish soap.

So a swarm of bees (that I suspect, but can't prove) came from my neighbor's neglected hive descended on my house two days ago and immediately popped into my wood siding, about 25' up the side of my house. I'm trying to do the responsible thing, called the local beekeeper society and they said...

Recently I bought a brand new "hang on sump" algae scrubber from an ebay seller based on a handful of random reviews online. I'd heard he had a great return policy so I figured why not. Well was I ever surprised. It's SO well made and well designed. It doesn't feel like someone's garage DIY...

@newfly I assume you have an apex or some kind of controller... I don't, but would still like the data points, but trying to figure out the best time to test - approximately what time do you see the steepest drop at night? @Darkxerox - You mind clarifying what you mean that he can replace all...

IMO fishless is the humane way to do it, subjecting fish to wild ammonia swings is probably not great for them. But honestly unless you have active pest problems in your other tank, you're probably good to add matured rock from there and it'll speed up the cycle a good bit. Right now you're...

Hmm yeah that's definitely be one problem. If you're doing fishless you need a source of ammonia to feed the bacteria for the nitrogen cycle to actually occur. So the tank is likely not cycling at all. Dr. Tim's has ammonia you can buy. https://www.drtimsaquatics.com/products/ammonium-chloride/

Have you been adding ammonia to the tank at all? That looks like a bacterial imbalance of some kind.

I am literally looking into this same thing right now. I definitely think it's my Marine Pure. I'm going to slowly remove them and combine that with water changes to try and bring it back down.

Their captcha :D

I will be there! I've got a beach bum monti I'd love help fragging.

Following this as well - I don't care about apps or any of the weird controls, I want something rock solid and quiet. Leaning Vectra at this point, but still doing homework.

Ugh I'm not gonna make it tonight guys. Power went out and it's getting pretty rough out here. Should probably stay and keep an eye on the fish and the family. With y'all in spirit!

January update: So back in September, I picked up this really cool Candy Cane pistol shrimp and orange spotted goby pair. QT'd them and introduced them to the tank in October sometime. pistol shrimp immediately made a home in my rockwork. The goby swam around a bit the first day, and perched...

FYI this Brute/bulkhead is exactly what I built and it works great. I even have that same exact bulkhead I think, just in 1".

I have the redsea and it's been nice and it's accurate to 0.1mL (I've tested this), with plenty of cool features. There is a whisper mode which is pretty quiet, it just doses slower. Idk if it's worth the extra $ over some other dosers, but I just get tired of having a different app for every...

@Srt4eric - bringing smoked queso dip

I’ll be there with a frag and dessert!
