    Frederick MD pods needed

    Amphipods are probably right.  Good meals for mandarins and the like, so the populations will probably be in the sump.  Rock rubble could make a good habitat, as would a chunk of macroalgae.

    The salinity dropped and killed all of them. I have a no fish 75g sump loaded full of rock and algae.

    I need some pods to re seed my tank I want to borrow a rock from your tank for a few hours or 24hrs. Willing to drive if tank or refuge Is loaded. Those giant cockroach looking ones are what I need. My mandarin is 5 years old but losing a little weight. I let my tank go hypo,  lost the large ones but the small are still there. Thanks!

    Found a puddle behind the tank. Bulkhead leaking. Since I tightened everything up before the plumbing I can’t fit a big pipe wrench in there. I am going to buy a larger channel lock since this one is too small. Should just need tightened up. I was able to get it to slow down a lot with the small amount of tightening

    Thanks for inquiring. Rough summer. I got into bass fishing a lot and let things go. Luckily I only lost a few high end pieces that never really did much anyhow. Did lose both my JF home wreckers. I had always caught hot streaks with that coral where it would grow wildly then it would die off and I would have to trade for a new one. But anyhow bass fishing has slowed and the tank is close to being back in order. I have two ballasts to change out on the ATI then we should be back in it. 01b01c3ccf8c54d90c3f6c0a4bc4d981.jpg

    Hanna calcium accurate?

    in General Discussion

    Hanna Ca only works with distilled water not RO. I didn’t read the instructions and was getting bad numbers so I sold it!  I spoke w the Hanna reps at MACNA, they claim it is very accurate (when used correctly)

    PIA or easier than test kits

    For those of you that occasionally check the Hanna calcium readout with test kits.... find that Hanna calcium reader is fairly accurate? Fast or is it just as easy to do a test kit?

    Keeping stainless steel rust free?

    The large one is ecotech. The small is BRS. They are 4 years old or so. Occasionally I have to run hot water over them and work them hard and fast to loosen them up from all the rust. We put the stuff in a bad corrosive environment

    Chromis more vibrantly colored

    in General Discussion

    All my chromis are extremely healthy and 3+ years old in captivity. i have 6 and one is much more vibrantly blue than the others. Is it from a different part of the world or is it the dominant female/male? Just curious and couldn’t find anything on the internet c4cb745f081113685aa169ecf83a66e9.jpg
