Thanks. I don’t have any plans right now for a top mainly because building one to go around the filters would be kind of a nightmare but depending on what other fish I end up getting for it I might have to in the future. The seachem tidal filter I have has been awesome so far. I like the fact that it is made to put whatever media I want in it and not designed for crappy filter cartridges. The qq1 skimmer is just ok. I’m hoping once I get a bit more bioload in the tank that it’ll start running better but so far it really hasn’t done a whole lot and with the amount of fish I usually end up having I probably should’ve gotten the qq3 skimmer instead and will probably upgrade to that down the road if the qq1 starts running better. I like the style of the qq1 and qq3 skimmer because it doesn’t have a pump hanging in the tank but so far the qq1 doesn’t really produce much foam at all.
i have the same clowns and they are awesome. great looking fish.My orange storm clowns showed up today. Super pumped to have something in the tank other than snails, lol. I got these clowns from www.cultivatedreef.com. They had the best price around for these clowns hands down and I can’t recommend them enough.
i use a screen from innovative marine. it does not look pretty but i only put it on at night.
sorry to hear that.
Thanks. I have no idea if it jumped or my daughters cat plucked it out of the tank but either way I’m not happy that I lost it.
Yes. Right now the blues and uv are at 50%, whites are at 30%, reds are at 25%, and greens are at 10% and the par is 350-400 on top of the rocks and 200-250 on the sand bed
Sort of. I placed my par meter in the sand with all pumps off and adjusted everything while it was on the sand bed. That way I could get the color I liked and have the numbers I need too. Once I got it close to where I wanted it then I moved the par meter around the tank to check everywhere and also checked with the flow on to see how much the rippling of the flow would reduce the numbers
what app are you using to track your cycle?So I’m 1 week into the cycling process now and with a daily pinch flake food and a cap full of seachem stability this is where I’m at. I know my salinity is a hair high but while I was waiting for my refractometer calibration solution to show up (it came in last night) I calibrated to 0 with distilled water which is obviously not nearly as exact but close enough to start the cycling process.Looking forward to seeing what next weeks testing shows. Slow and steady wins the race...right? Lol
Aqua planner lite is the app I use. Not sure if it is on all platforms or just iOS but it’s on my iPhone
