FTR, live sand is more than just wet sand with bacteria; it includes a variety of benthic critters (mollusks, worms, etc., etc.) which help clean and...
Must be similar to mine. I've only used it twice. The net bag doesn't really trap much once the impeller grinds it to dust. Made my water look milky,...
Absolutely, yes! Thank you. :) Lots of good information there that can be related to all captive-bred species. A mandarin will still be a mandarin,...
Personally, I wouldn't bother much with nutrient export on a 12g tank, especially to the point of drilling when you're not going to gain much...
IME, the Actinodiscus prefers low flow. Much more than 20x and they move, close, or release and drift into a dark, no-flow zone.
Agreed. Moving it or changing it's environment just adds more stress and should only be done when absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, nems lack the...
From what I've read, my opinion is that feeding amino acids is a bit like dosing iodide; one may see benefits if applied in moderation to a system...
Worst: Rio Nano skimmer- worthless POS, and Bi-color Dottyback- made damsels look like model citizens. Best: Petco Real Ocean Water- no mixing,...

Love it! Thanks for sharing. :) LOL. I know I did when my first nem changed shape. Had no clue what was happening, and had no way to do any...
Absolutely, yes. That's a great idea.
That's a very valid point. Yes, if the majority of breeders were using some of the proceeds for R & D; unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the...
Research and development in breeding marine fish has actually been ongoing for quite a while, and yes, there have been some setbacks. The most recent...
Yes, there are a choice few that focus on variety of species rather than expensive eye candy from zoas and acros. Here is one:...
Thread is from 2012, plus you've owned yours for 2 - 3 years. It's my understanding that Odyssea has since corrected the problem.
