LFS - High nitrates? - Beginners Discussion - Nano-Reef Community
2007年11月14日 · I've actually had great experiences with the water from my LFS. Surprisingly, they do a wonderful job and all the ammonia/trate/trite tests come back 0. Salinity is great too. I just started a Pico reef using nothing but the store water, and haven't had any problems. Must be dumb luck, I guess, but these guys really do care about the hobby.

2017年2月12日 · LFS is saying I don't NEED to and they wouldn't, but you know how that goes. Yes. QT. Unless they haven't added new fish in 2 weeks to the tank always QT. If they add a fish who might be sick 1 day or even one week before you pick up the new fish it …
This is why you don't add LFS water to your tank
2013年2月15日 · My LFS was having a really hard time finding decent employees because most of the reef nuts are older, have families, and already work full-time at other places. Being younger generally makes you less tied down, and rather than applying I was just offered a job because they saw first hand what I knew when I was just randomly talking to another ...
CYCLES WITH LFS WATER - Nano-Reef Community
2007年3月2日 · Live rock has to cycle somewhere, either at the LFS or in your tank at home and the only real way to determin it is cycled is to test, test and test! Oh and as far as the water goes - "Transferring water is not going to speed up the tanks biofiltration (cycle) in any way - as the bacteria is contained within the rock; not the water.
LFS display tanks - General Discussion - Nano-Reef Community
2012年5月23日 · It depends I guess. If there's 1-2 dead fish out of dozens of tanks then I don't worry too much. If there's 1-2 dead fish in almost every tank then I leave. My closest LFS gets livestock in on Wednesdays so I pretty much only pick stuff up on the weekend. Then I know it has made it 3-4 days and the sick ones have probably kicked the bucket already.
LFS Owner Says YOU ARE ALL WRONG! - Nano-Reef Community
2012年8月26日 · I bet your LFS are a lot like theses forums, if you go to three different LFS they will all tell you something a bit different. This guy has been doing it for 20 years or so. I bet he is just set in his ways. Even though a lot has changed over the last 20 years. This doesn't mean he is wrong but he is just very opinionated.
Alternatives to LFS RODI - Nano-Reef Community
2024年1月9日 · Mad question I know but ICE whereby you arent able to get to your LFS for RODI what household alternatives can you use for topping off your tank? Off the top of my head: dehumidifier water tumble drier water (both are effectively impure distilled water) can you use water from a Brita filter jug? What other alternatives can people think of?
Does your LFS take livestock back - Nano-Reef Community
2009年9月3日 · Well my LFS is sorta in the middle. They won't go nuts for me, but the owner who is super experienced knows me well enough that he'd probably give me half of what it's worth. I'm going to bring in a goby and a damsel, buy a fish at the same time and try to knock $5 off whatever I buy. I wish and I mean I wish that my LFS had corals
