Just for zoas, I'd do one of the LED options, but I personally think coral get the healthiest results when T5 is either the main light or even a...
I'd soak. Better safe than sorry.
Nitrates at 10 are kinda high for coral IMO. Peppermints as you know will go after LPS, including your candy cane/trumpet coral. I would remove...
More like some degree of human error, I've done this before.
If your calcium is actually at >620 then yes, this will absolutely irritate corals.
I will occasionally give some mysis shrimp to acans, but that is more for my amusement. I also feed baby decapsulated brine shrimp, which are just...
And a tasty meal ;)
Happy to hear that they're doing well. Assuming good water quality and lighting, they will encrust and branch off, along with the old colony.

None of eshopps skimmers fit? For a return it's really up to you. Some use sicce, jebao, danner mag, ehiem, or triton. All seem to be the more...

IME the bioload added by snails is next to negligible. The OP is working on controlling nitrates and phosphates, I don't think snails to help would...
IMO it depends on the species and size of the tank. What did you have in mind?
Haven't used an aftermarket one, however if you have the money for the original, I would just get that. If you ever plan on selling it (or don't plan...
Like an anemone, sometimes they move to weird places that don't quite make sense to us. If it's feeding fine and stays away from any powerheads, I...
