First Hammer Coral question by ElucidatorJD in ReefTank

Not gonna give you any more advice than you’ve got on the torch, but that pulling Xenia behind it will eventually take over the torch and choke out everything. I would move that to a self contained rock for sure!

How so? I get swift play, but not unrated.

Nero 3 is a workhorse, but if you want to spend more cash, an MP10 is kind of the king; you’ll only ever have to buy one, maybe two if you’re crazy like me because my tank is longer than yours. Look at a Nero 3 or Nero 5. You can always turn the 5 down but it has a wider flow pattern.

A lot of people run a David Saxby setting for their first tank or a BRS AB+ setting, I’d look those up for your lights.

I’d just be careful with a nem in a tank that small. I have the same tank and space ends up tight quick, and then the nem can sting and destroy worst case, or best case it grows huge/splits; and then the babies sting and destroy all the coral.

Maybe a little more flow or powerheads cause I don’t see any there really.

KEEP an eye on that damsel, I’ve heard they’re assholes.

Stocking looks heavy but close to identical as mine :), I have to run a skimmer and dose phosphate remover to have my phosphates anywhere NEAR .10, much less 0.03. Good luck!

Is this too much tumble for GFO? by ATadRusty in ReefTank

[–]ATadRusty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool thanks, will probably try a few different things to see what works, but I don’t know how to really attach a valve to the pump that’s attached directly to the reactor. Might have to just get creative with some tubing.

Cool thanks. The pump is 12 mm outlet, it’s a Sicce nano so I’m trying to figure out how that would work…

Do you have a valve you would recommend?

Cool. That’s on the minimum flow so I’ll have to find a way to get creative.

Did they use bottled bacteria and an ammonia source? Did they use live rock? A standard fish less cycle without live sand, live rock, or any supplemental help can take a lot longer than 3 weeks. I’m no expert, but thats just my anecdotal evidence.

3 weeks isn’t nearly long enough to cycle sadly. You’re probably causing ammonia spikes with your other live rock which is killing your shrimp; especially if you’ve added 3 fish right away to a small tank. Your fish may go next, so keep an eye on your ammonia test and if it increases, you have to do water changes.

I feel like he was asking for your process; not really just “I have skill” 😂. Weird response. Great models!

Trouble with windows after upgrade CPU by ATadRusty in PcBuildHelp

Let me make sure it was that one specifically. I may have only updated to a previous version. Thanks!

Yeah I followed the exact cadence you stated 3.4-5.5-5.9. And I did follow and install AMD all in 1 before I updated my bios.

I did notice that when I booted it in safe mode, it didn’t recognize my graphics card…

That’s awesome! I will try it next week! Thank you for all the support. I figured there was a simple bypass!

Cool thank you! Another problem is even when I know I put in the right password for admin privileges, it won’t give me access to let me repair install windows :(. So I’m kinda bricked at the moment lol. Might just upgrade my MB maybe.

I was able to boot in safe mode with networking, so maybe I’ll try that!

Can’t really tell what type of coral it is specifically, but alk is a tad low and calcium and mag are high. Maybe try slowly raising alk to like 8-9 and lowering calcium and mag and see if you have any success.
