how long do these live for at normal reef temps?

what a steal for that price

httm is simple enough, but it's gonna be more work if you have less stuff like i have 5 10g tanks sitting around. a bunch of small heaters, a bunch of powerheads, lots of pvc pipes, and i keep a bunch of little biomedias in my dt sump so basically i just fill tanks with water and httm them...

tbh i think a nice lazy way to qt would be: h2o2 bath, put fish in a 10g tank. dose GC/prazi. let simmer for 3 days swap fish out into a different tank. let simmer for 2-3 days, dose GC again 24 hours prior to moving the fish. then h2o2 bath en route to your DT this won't eliminate ich, but it...

2 tunze 6095s and 2 ai nero 5s. i've also used jebaos and other tunzes and reef octopus octopulse pumps and they're all pretty fine tbh. the tunzes are tanks, they'll probably never die. the neros get dirty and need cleaning, but they're really easy to clean. the octopulse pumps were great, but...

scape looks pretty cool tbh, maybe a bit high but i think it makes the tank look bigger than it is. i thought you had the IM 100g for a minute

mine was just down for a few hours for the same thing i plugged a fan and a tunze powerhead into a portable battery and never got below 65% on it

idk if i can even describe my issues. sometimes some stn starts in from below. sometimes it's fairly rapid. sometimes i give up on a piece, cut it off, and the encrustment is fine. and sometimes the entire thing just dies within a couple days i sent off an ICP test when the issues started and...

i guess? i haven't really followed the whole bacterial issue stuff lately. the guy i asked about it i told him i had cipro and he advised to just get the oxolinic acid. the only other option i can see is just sit back, order an aquabiomics test, test it, then wait like 3 months for the results...

i'm having similar issues in my tank. not sure if it's the ever popular bacterial issue or just general neglect which is also true on my part. i think i'm gonna give oxolinic acid a whirl whenever it gets here and see if that helps

if you haven't heard of him, i highly recommend therman over on r2r. dude has a plethora of awesome smoothskins available. his prices seem kinda high individually, but do a pack and he hooks it up and his pieces are very large...

we just had to squeeze in an earthquake

hit up garretts acropolis, he has a ton of seriatopora varieties

i've been neglecting the tank lately and it has gone downhill a bit. i basically started a new job which is pretty time consuming. coincide that with picking up a box of reef crystals because i thought i'd give high alk a whirl for awhile. well, the tank did not like it and i didn't really...

does he ship with sand in the bag?
