    Thinking about switching salts need advice

    FTR, I have coralline everywhere using good ol' Instant Ocean. That said, coralline must be introduced into your tank; it doesn't magically appear...

    Top of my ocellaris clownfish turning black. Common?

    +1 Looks normal to me. FWIW, it's not uncommon for clowns to darken, change color, and even completely lose their stripes over time. I recall...

    Alum. foil in contact with water?

    Hmmm, not so sure, Todd. After all, we use aluminum-based products, such as phosguard, to help with chemical filtration. Aluminum is also one of the...

    Mushrooms taking over!

    As implied, soft corals and mushrooms are survivalists; the more you irritate or disturb them, the faster they will multiply. Covering them will only...

    Tang Police - Questions

    Do you turn down your flow at night?

    Ah, yes, a short duration for target-feeding is fine. I only need to target-feed corals, which is done while lights are on, but yes, lowering flow...

    Do you turn down your flow at night?

    No. As mentioned, the ocean currents do not lower at night. You also run the risk of reducing gas exchange which can adversely affect your pH.

    Best specific gravity fo mixed reef?

    And that's why I use a high-quality floating-glass hydrometer. If it's still good enough for scientific labs, then who am I to argue? :D

    Best specific gravity fo mixed reef?

    IMHO, the best sg for any marine aquarium is the same as nsw-- 1.025 - 1.026. I don't know where the idea started, or why anyone would believe, that...

    The truth about a brain?

    Dead Clown

    what do emerald crabs eat?

    As mentioned earlier, they're crabs, and crabs are opportunistic. I've never had one bother any corals, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. I...
