Hello,
Unforeseen circumstances have caused UniQuaria to set in place a few guidelines that all our members should be aware of. These guidelines will be updated as needed and posted to the list once per month. This frequent posting may be a nuisance but since new members are continually subscribing, this is a necessity. I […]
On a side note, I think I have stimulated my cory’s into spawning mode with all the cleaning’s I’ve done the last couple of days, they got 2 PWC’s yesterday (with gravel vac), and today their filter was cleaned so therefor the tank was refilled afterwards, lots of fresh water going in […]
Okay I didn’t use the sock, I used the giant filter bag instead that I got yesterday from marine depot. Wasn’t sure where it would work best in the filter so it’s at the top (last thing the water filters through). I will check the GH and KH tonight when I get […]
Would thin cotton socks work to put the crushed coral in? They are brand new just pulled out of the bag… I didn’t like the style and never wore them. I can use a zip tie to tie them shut.

Okay I will put some in one of the giant filter bags and maybe fold it over or something for something to use for now, it’s time for a filter cleaning anyways, might as well add it while I’m in there LOL. How much more should I add since I put […]
I want to get my pH where it is closer to my tapwater baseline so I won’t stress out the fish too much doing PWC’s. So to do that I’m going to have to maintain a higher KH and GH correct?

Ok, I think I understand a little of where you are coming from now. I can tell you that after all of the note-taking and carrying on I scraped everything and simply put a cuttle bone in each power filter basket now and that’s it. For my acid water conditions the coral did […]
I just did my baseline tests, initial tests had my pH at 6.5-6.6 and GH was approx 100ppm , and KH was 18ppm or less (1 drop). pH rose to 6.8 after 24 and 48 hours, GH lowered to 38ppm after 48 hours and KH remained the same the whole time. As you […]
I soaked in hot water and rinsed it very well, I wasn’t sure if I could boil it though, so I just used really hot tap water instead. It’s also been sitting outside on the porch for about 5 months I don’t like using bleach, I guess I tend to mess […]
I’ve never seen a good article on the proper use of crushed coral. I think there are so many variables that it’s hard to know precisely how much to use. It’s probably something someone with multiple tanks could do and keep accurate records over the course of several months and then come up […]
