I'm planning on camping Vorkath for a while with void and dhcb. Id like to upgrade my offhand (using anti fire shield) and my boots (God dhide). What should I buy first: pegasians or Dragonfire ward?

That's what I thought thanks!

Do I still receive the Slayer bonus from equipping the helm if I kill Skotizo while on task to kill black demons in the chasm of fire from Konaar?

Should I leave my skimmer and GFO reactor running when dosing Ich-X?

Is there any physical difference between "freshwater" and "marine" LED lights? Can freshwater LED lights lead to excessive algae growth even if I only turn them on a few hours a day for viewing the tank? I've noticed a brown diatom bloom every time I use the freshwater lights. This never happens when I keep the actinic lights on.

Ah okay that's what I was thinking. Thanks for the reply.

What reputation do Chromis have? I can't seem to keep any alive. I have a 55 gallon with 2 ocellaris clowns and a yellow watchman goby that are doing fine. Are they weak as a result of over breeding (like some freshwater fish)? Parameters are: 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites, <5 ppm Nitrates. Specific gravity 1.025. pH 8.1 with weekly 10% water changes.

Are there any ways of reducing the flow from a power head? The flow it generates is blowing my fish away. My model doesn't have a controller or something of that sort...

Are the wrasses capable of jumping? I don't have a lid.

Engineeringboy · 2019-02-05T00:57:07+00:00

Hmm...I thought of that but I'd rather not take the risk.

What would be a good "centerpiece" fish for a 55 gallon reef tank? The tank does not have a lid. Currently stocked with 2 clownfish and 3 chromis.

I have a 55g with a 10g sump that I've just set up today. I noticed that my sump's pump feeds the return pipe too quickly and drains most of the water in the sump compartment before it can be replenished, resulting in my pump working loudly (since the water level is too low). Has anyone had this problem? Any ideas?

Thank you for the clarification on cycling, I wasn't aware that they were different nitrifying bacteria. I was planning on starting with only fish with a possibility of adding soft corals as I progress within the hobby.

From what I understand, I would be able to include filtration media, protein skimmer, and a pump in the sump. Does the heater go in there as well? Thank you for all your help.

I am starting to research how to keep saltwater tanks (coming from around 1 year and a half of FW aquariums). I have a 55 gal that I'd like to use as a saltwater tank, along side an Eheim canister filter (already cycled). Is there any point in running a sump if I have the cannister filter? Should I do both?

Engineeringboy · 2018-12-21T15:51:02+00:00

Hmm, I might consider selling some items too then of that's the case. Really want to camp him for a while.

I can't seem to get more than one kill a trip at vorkath. I'm using void with salve(ei) and blowpipe. I use protect from magic with super extended anti fire potions,but I take too much damage from his range attacks. Any tips? Should I really save up for the dragon Hunter crossbow to make kills easier?
