photosynthesis: carbon dioxide + water + light = carbohydrate plus oxygen This is the process of an organism taking in light enery and converting...
I agree. Diatoms bloom will appear from old lights, nitrates an silicates. Generally the first thing to consider are the lights. Most people check...
I run three 250 watt HQI MH and four 96 watt PC's on my 180. I agree - sell the 400 fixtures and buy 250. You could use just one of them but you...
Looks like you got your answers - I have also used bridal netting and a rubber band, works well. Zoanthids after a few months grow very fast, you...
Someone else with better eyes might be able to get more answers. Some corals require more light than otheres - do you know what you have there? I...

You're right, lighting effects algae growth and corals (and other not so obvious things) - but all in all if people expect analysis its quicker and...
1 anemone is probably not going to fowl out a 72 gallon just because it died - you pulled it right away so I doubt that's why your tang is ill. Had...
Yup - I am onboard with sponge....let it be and watch it grow, good for you !!
I would cap the middle and use the rear for esthetic reasons. As stated above if you simply install a pipe up to the surface its going to be noisy...
Please describe it - does it rub off? if it does I would say Cyano - if its really attached to the rock than I am agreeing with my fellow parrothead...
Until your second post I wanted to say your test kit sounds bad....but that second post says otherwise. What's your feeding schedule - how much...
