Re: Need advice: upgrading GSP tank's size.

well its definitely better to go more than 30g. Id imagine theyd grow to full size and faster. If you plan on taking him to full marine levels Id definetly go bigger than a 39g so I could add a few tankmates. Me personally I just need some action going on and one gsp wouldnt be enough for me....

Re: Protein skimmer removing IP meds?

Including melafix, stress coat, etc. I just tune it to not skim as much or turn it off for the day and run fresh carbon after a big WC and then the skimmer goes back to normal. malafix is the worst thou its makes your s...

Re: please help, just tried

I would definitely keep an eye on your WP bc most FW/Tap water is below 1.000 so say for instance you tap water is 0.988 then adding .004- or more can definetly cause a mini cycle. I kno this bc the SG raise I did the same thing causing a mini cycle. To be safe Id watch the ammonia and nitrite readi...

Re: Pics of a few things 45g and 10g

welp I just tried the Aptasia x stuff and was pretty impressed with how it was liquid in its container and then once i started injecting the aptasia it gelled up so it wasnt that messy and it was easy to form a nice covering over the mouth of the glass nem. So hopefully it works before I have 100s o...
