    Seachem Ammonia Alert

    Short answer it can't hurt. Not useless like api test kits. Yet nothing I would totally count on at the risk of my fish. I bought 2 at same time in tanks next to each other. One seems to work as expected the other one didn't work at all for first week now it seems to be working. So if...

    Wow I actually already have a good bit of new rodi line in garage hoard. I didn't know it would work for dosing lines as well..

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    Do you think there is a safer tube to use so I don't have to worry about that in future? Or is this something unavoidable like with any dosing tube and we should be changing them out at x intervals?

    How much to feed fish? Do we tend to overfeed our pets? Easy to feed a lot, difficult to feed the right amount

    Does what your fish eat in two minutes not apply? I also saw something about their stomach being the size of their eyeballs to estimate how much to feed? You mentioned weight and body %based feeding prob has potential just seems a little impractical long term like i don't see myself weighing...

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    Don't take it as me fact checking you. That wasn't the case. With my main sps tank I pretty much research anything before I make a change. I'm very hesitant to do new things to the sps tank. I was more or less asking Google for more detailed prospective to learn how effective it would be...

    Google says gfo will not remove tin. It does say carbon will.

    How much to feed fish? Do we tend to overfeed our pets? Easy to feed a lot, difficult to feed the right amount

    I typically feed once a day. No auto feeders . I mostly feed frozen variety of mysis and Roe eggs+ krill. For the herbs they are feed mostly half a sheet of nori or some seaweed pellets, all the fish will eat the seaweed pellets except the puffer. When I'm rushed or wanna swap it up I'll feed...

    L/F leads on a possible frag swap location?

    I'm in on going communication with her at present. In addtion to following up with other options as well. The entire Bod typically has a say on what venue is ultimately selected. It often comes down to a combination of location, price, availability, effort involved in setting up and tearing...

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    Added a bag of high-quality activated carbon underneath the gfo reactor return line to the tank. I honestly don't have anywhere else to place one that would get water flowing through it. This will likely be slower but hopefully over time it will help some. I was unable to place it under the...

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    It was done like next day after a water change. I didn't know dosing tube can release tin? They were cheap colored ones from Amazon that came in a multipack with 4/5 colors.

    A Macro Cube

    What test kits are you using to do the test with? Afr doesn't instantly raise alk calc or mag. Unlike esv raises it all within a few minutes. Afr can take 2-3 days to completely take effect. To my understanding. I use esv for adjustments only. Afr I been dosing daily for at least two...

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    I don't have any of the lyngbya in this tank. Only the 210gallon and nem tank. I run a gfo reactor on this tank that I have the flow constricted to where it's just about where you could see drops so. Imagine a very slim stream. I do 10 gallon water changes once a week, rsk 300 skimmer, and a...

    Polo Reef by Andrew Sandler's nightmare

    No doubt, lmao I wouldn't dare say I wouldn't if I had it like that not just wealthy, but rich to the point he has money he doesn't know what to do with. The Guy basically built the house around the tanks lol.

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    March 9th 9am, I mailed the tropic to ensure it was picked up that same day. March 19th I was updated they received the icp test at their lab. March 23rd I was informed results were ready. 15 total. Days from dropping it in mail to getting the results. Not sure if it's helpful information...
