  1. So today I was having a close look at my 4 1/2" Hawaiian Snoball (glorified domino) and I noticed 2 very small paracite/worm like things sticking off of him. They are white, and so small that my camera could not capture a picture of them. I would normally look up anything like this in my handy little aquarium book, but it is packed away and I can not seem to find it. I looked and my other fish do not have anything on them. Does anyone know what this might be, and how to treat it before it spreads to anything else? And if there is any medication (take note that this is not a fish only tank) has anyone had success with any certain one?

     

    Thanks for the help guys!

  2. I believe the water level would be the same on both levels, as in it would not be any higher in the bio-ball chamber than the water is on the other side, if that makes any sense. It could be converted to hold a sock very easily, and I think then it would be possible to fit a skimmer inside of it. Let me know if you want to come have a look at it. Thanks

     

     

    I NEED THIS STUFF GONE, MAKE ME OFFERS!!!

  3. You gotta look into more types of macro. Some are very unlikely to go sexual. JME

     

     

     

    I know, after getting scared to death when I found out what could happen, I then learned that it is very rare that it does, and even so most of the time there is little side effect. Either way it all died in the moving of my tank anyways, so I decided to get Chaeto as recommended. Looking good as of now though.

  4. Caulerpa is all dead and gone. Got some Chaeto and put it in my new setup (72 gal bow) and seems to be working fine. I am getting a bit of reddish looking algae in the sump, not in the tank. It is not long hair algae i dont think, any idea what it might be? Is it a problem? Will it eventually go away?

  5. Hey I could not get the first link to work. I ran my first tank (46 bow) with no skimmer and it was fine, had plenty of lr and livestock in it. I think my refugium is what kept it alive (which I no longer have, for fear of it going sexual and killing everything haha). A well established 'fuge can do wonders! I personally am too lazy to clean the thing multiple times daily so I gave in and got a skimmer. Nice to see some people that can make it successful without it!

  6. I am clearing out what I don't need/use, mostly because I do not have the room. Make me a reasonable offer on all the items, cash works best, but might be interested in a trade for some LR or possibly something else, who knows.

     

    First off, I have a bunch of LaMotte test kits. They are way over what I need for my tank, and I just do not use them.

     

    First (picture 2) LaMotte Salt Water pH Test Kit , Model AG-23

    Less than 1/4 use, still plenty of life left. All instructions, bottles, tubes, etc included.

     

    Second (picture 3) LaMotte Phosphate Test Kit Model PAL

    Over half full, all instructions, bottles, tubes, etc included.

     

    Third (picture 4) LaMotte Calcium Hardness Test Kit for Fresh and Salt Water

    3/4 Full, (the missing bottle I believe was just another Sodium Hydroxide Reagent, of which one is already included)

     

    Fourth (picture 5) LaMotte Alkalinity Test Kit Model WAT-DR

    Bottle of alkalinity titration reagent B is almost all the way full. BCG-MR tablets are almost full also.

     

    Fifth (picture 6) LaMotte Salt Water Aquaculture Test Kit Model AQ.5

    Everything is over 3/4 full, and all instructions and everything included. Tests Ammonia Nitrogen, Nitrite Nitrogen, Nitrate Nitrogen, Alkalinity, Carbon Dioxide.

     

    Other items:

    Pinpoint PH Monitor, made by American Marine Inc. Pretty self-explanatory, has working batteries in it. Make me an offer. (picture 7)

     

    Wet/Dry trickle filter/sump. Measures 2' wide (not including bulkhead, add another 2") 1' deep, and 16 1/2" tall (not including pipe fitting, add 4-5"). I also have a bunch of bio-balls I will throw in with this.

     

    250 W Metal Halide Lighting system. Has 1 250W Halide (bulb is 1 week old) and 2 actinic bulbs (1 bulb is smaller than the other, I do not know too much about actinics other than that they are both about the same color blue, and are beautiful! There is a Ballast for the Halide, and a separate ballast for the actinics. I will also include 2 used Halide bulbs with about 3-4 months left on them. The unit measures 30" long, 13" deep, and 6 1/2" tall. Has a fan built into the unit. I will also include a sheet of plexi cut to fit on the bottom of the unit, to protect the bulbs.

     

    Emperor 400 Bio Wheel filter. Needs a good clean, and new wheels, but other than that it is good to go!

     

    Small Refugium light, nothing fancy, but gets the job done!

     

    Small tank light, made by JBJ, has 2 10,000k Sealife 65w bulbs. Built in dual fan system, with a switch for each light, and for the fans. It is 24" wide, 8" deep, and 3 1/2" tall.

     

    46 Gal bowfront tank, stand, hood (all black). Have some other accessories to go with it also, make me an offer.

     

    Small protein skimmer, nothing fancy, but works.

     

    I have not attached pictures of everything. If you would like to see a picture of something let me know and I can get one. I am located in Salem, but could possibly make a trip to portland if enough stuff is going up that way. Thanks

     

    The other pictures will be attached below...
