Glad it works good for you.

I drive transport truck in the steel industry.

Ok that’s what I thought it looked like I had an idea. It looks some what like lava rock so it should be good for BB in your filter not the best but will do a good job. I use lava rock in both my canisters along with matrix in the fluval 404 I have about a 1lb of lava rock and 500g of matrix and...

Hello and welcome to fishlore. I don’t know much about skeleton coral rock but I do know many say crush coral helps maintain a higher PH and everything you have in your filter will grow BB on it the amount depends on how porous the media is to how effective it will be hope this helps a bit.

Almost forgot I have each of my filters in a tote with a battery operated leak detector in each one and a third one On the floor behind my stand. You can find them on amazon for under $30

I always run two filters on my tanks with the exception to my 3gal betta tank. IMO go with two filters as big as your budget will allow but get at least 5-6x turnover with combined filters.. I would go with two 407’s on the set up which will give you almost 8x turnover but on the minimum I...

Thank you I hope it looks good the amount of time I spend working on it lol. Your tank looks great too with the new lights. I am specially impressed with the shimmer it gives to my tank now I couldn’t get with my old light.

I do like the digital one myself a little more money but easier and quicker to read. If your thermometer is reading 100f I would say it’s faulty. Have you tried to take it out and shake it down or run some cool water on it and see if it changes and lowers then place it back in the tank and...

I find one of these are good and vary accurate and not very expensive.

I’m not sure what kind of thermometer that is but I would say it is faulty because at 100f your fish would be dead. It’s not one of the ones that stick on the outside of the glass is it.

Happy Easter to you and I love the tank showed it to my wife and first thing out of her mouth was that I should do that too. Lol

JamieXPXP@ thanks again for the review on the nicrew led I got mine yesterday and it was amazing I like them so much makes the tank pop. Here is some pictures with the new lights sorry my iPad don’t take the best pictures

I’m no expert on treating ich I have been very lucky I haven’t had it in n any of my tanks in years. But I understand any fish with the exception to cold water fish and plants can tolerate high temps for a week or so to treat ich. You just need to raise the temp very slowly and bring back down...

Agreed I also use lava rock in both my canisters not as primary bio media I use it just before my primary media is matrix yes it expensive but it only a one time buy.

Ok you can treat Ich with heat raise your temp slowly to 84f and that should treat the ich in about 6-10 days and if there is no parasite present in the tank IMO do not treat with meds... some can be very hard on the fish and cycle if not broken don’t fix undue stress on fish. Cure ich before...

Well the long and short is everyone has an opinion on activated carbon and no one is wrong it is what works for you. Myself I don’t like it because it needs to be changed every 3-4 weeks and it’s a pain to open my canisters that often now if I need it I will use it.

That's great glad to hear. IMO I would leave the lights off for today no need to cover again and feed lightly.

I would say 406 would be the minimum at 383gph if it’s in your budget I would say a 406 and 206.

Nice tank like the set up very much.

Yes if you leave it open it will cut the flow down. I have left the end open with no elbow on the end so the flow goes straight down the glass on the back of the tank befor. I had an angel before that hated any flow at all.
