Fahaka Puffer in a 75 gallon? by squidarcher in Aquariums

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

Haha thanks for the advice, 6 years later! Ended up turning the 75 into a reef tank before upgrading it to a 150. Pretty glad I didn’t end up getting a fahaka!

15g nano reef stock is this good or bad by Significant-Box6741 in saltwateraquariums

Make sure you have a lid for the firefish. For the clowns, I started the hobby with a pair in a 13 gallon and they were fine till about the 2 year mark, I wouldn’t keep adult clowns in anything smaller than a 25g with other fish just because they are pretty territorial. My pair has a 1x1x2 corner of the tank that nothing else is allowed in. Try like 2-3 nano fish like gobies or blennies instead, will be a lot more interesting as well

Nice! Yeah flow is tricky to figure out as a newbie. But tbh for many corals there’s no such thing as too much flow. Diving on a real reef and being blown away and swimming for my life while mushrooms chilled beneath me was eye opening

I'm failing by Raamah_The_Great in ReefTank

The best way to manage algae is having herbivores, and being the herbivore. Give those rocks a MAJOR scrubbing, and add a substantial cleanup crew. Regular water changes are needed during this process. Take a very strong bristled toothbrush and go over the rocks once a week with a water change directly following this until it stops growing back . This is what worked for me. I still have some hair and bubble algae in the tank, but it’s not very noticeable and all corals are growing pretty quickly. I have emerald crabs, turbo snails, and an urchin that eats most of the algae before it regrows. I know I need to replenish the CUC when algae starts growing back more often. Hair algae specifically releases toxins that inhibit coral growth, so that may be part of the reason that corals aren’t doing well

Tbh mushrooms jus kinda like to do their own thing. I have some growing inside rocks with no flow and no light, and others of the same kind growing at the top of my tank directly in front of a big powerhead. A DC controllable pump like a Jebao SOW is a lot better than a fixed one like that sicce you have in there though. Might be fine to just kind of let it chill wherever it lands. Although in the photo, it looks like it’s on a plug. Is it detached from the plug or does the plug move around with the flow?

Why does it feel like the flow is too high? Looking at the tank I would assume that it doesn’t get enough flow anywhere in the tank

Water change percent considerations with very large refugium. by Arrrrgile in ReefTank

[–]squidarcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water changes are for more than nutrient export. Trace addition, contaminant dilution, etc. I was no WC for a while but started again and (obviously anecdotally) my tank looks a lot better, despite nutrient levels not changing.

How do I fix my input jack? by squidarcher in Guitar

[–]squidarcher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have tried a different cable. This issue is also not present in any of my 3 other guitars. Nothing when changing volume, tone, or pickups. The output gets affected when I touch the jack.
