    Pump quality going down hill?

    in General Discussion

    Your water change station shouldn't have to run too much. Maybe a few minutes a day to give it a stir and whenever you make new salt water. Are those reasonable assumptions? If so, you really don't need something power efficient. It's much better to have something reliable that can tolerate all the power cycling it'll see. In that case, I'd lean toward something like a Panworld or Iwaki.

    Ok so I will have to put it on a timer. I don’t really like Saltwater sitting. So I was thinking it would run continuously.

    Using Black Sand

    in General Discussion

    I have black sand in my biocube. the pros are it looks great when its clean. the cons are that certain grains do stick to magnets, the shiny parts, and it does have to be kept clean. the white sands can hide the detritus and poo and stuff. the black sand can't. on a side note, i just upgraded to an epoxied black sand. this got rid of the magnet issues along with the high flow issues i was having. and since every grain is encased in epoxy, not nitrate/phosphate issues.

    I've also heard the try at dark, acclimation box, and mirrors as well.

     

    I'd love to see more of your tank, it's beautiful, how about a dedicated build?

     

    I think I have decided to put all my current tangs in the sump 80'gal and let the new fish have the DT to himself until he is eating then introduce the others back all at once .

     

    And thank you for the compliment it is a nice set up I am enjoying it very much just to lazy to do a build thread! Lol

    Advice on introducing my last Tang

    in General Discussion

    I want to add my last tang to my tank and that will be an Achilles tang. I have a purple a yellow a blonde naso and a hippo and last and they all get along and have been in there a year, any advice on introducing and Achilles should I buy a larger one or smaller then the other tangs. Fatten him up in the sump or not? Pretty sure the hippo has ich but never flares up on any of them.

     

    Any advise will be appreciated.upepu7er.jpg
