not when it takes days to digest something then dumps a load of poop in a small uncycled tank and spews out 1/2 digested remains bye bye the whole tank if you aren't there to clean it up and do a water change

can't see where anyone is angry good luck with your set up

they wander in the ocean, will not help in your cycling how big is your tank?

wandering sea anemone, better off in the ocean i thought you were going to set up properly before getting livestock

:rotf: this is from the last time it was a saltwater tank about 5 years ago

when are you sorting the tritonias out

don't quite understand that by any chance would u have some of those shrunken head warrior hanging? if that is correct then yes we do have a big collection of artifacts etc

nice i thought it was anthony :rotf:

not a lot of water to heat with all the rocks in there

old pic of tank before set up

green water will do it

can't have been a forget me not then :gigl:

will do, want to try get it as simple as possible

:slfg: i will take pics tomorrow

tank 1.5 x 1m x 65cm 2 corner overflows with 2 dursos in each sump 1.2 x 60cm x 60cm deltec skimmer may take this off and use algae scrubber as it will be an invert/anemone tank lighting x 4 90cm t8 lights

all tropicals in the 2.1m x 1m x 65cm had to drill 2 more overflow holes in tank to increase outflow have 3 overflows at one end of tank 4 x 12000lph sun sun flow pumps and 1 6000lph sump is 1.2 x 80cm x 60cm adding 90cm x 80cm x 60cm refugium skimmer is large Reef Octopus plumbed into 1 overflow taken out black clowns and 1 pair of bangai, peace at last lighting is odysea 2 x 250w halide and 2 t5 blue tubes and 2 x 150w halides courtesy of ryanjury livestock pair maroon clowns pair ocellaris clowns pair bangai cardinals copperband purple tang lavender tang alleni damsel 5 x RBTAnemones finger, toadstool, cabbage leathers palythoas a few different zoas 9 types of mushrooms

only when you get deeper into it then you are using anaerobic to set your tank up not ideal

have you an actual count on the amount of live bacteria in the live sand? low bio load and water changes are more productive

a popular misconception

the best thing if you are going to try marine is slow down, develop patience and look at getting a cycled system before adding livestock temperate (cold) marine take longer to cycle and won't enjoy temps over 20 degrees for too long patience grasshopper

been there done that still got the video

real pirates don't be diving they just takes them off the divers

do a 50% water change ensuring not to disturb the substrate with water flow

never dive for my jewels
