UPS's are important for situations like this, or borrow a friend's generator. A generator sufficient for a reef tank should be ~300-400, plus some...
I harp about dead fish pretty often but there's only so much you can do. If the fish ends up in the powerhead it happens. Real reefs aren't 100%...
I'm reasonably sure there's something in the gravel that's alive ;)
You mean they aren't? kidding of course. I wouldn't even do the WC at this point. I also wouldn't add bacteria at this point because you should...
How long has he been in the tank? What are the tank's parameters? Have you tried target feeding it? What was your result? It could be any number...
I still have the gravel from my first FW tank when I was in second grade. I'm 28 now. (it's bagged up tho)
Cut down to every other day, could be excess food but 20 is within normal parameters ( <20 with coral <50 fish only). This is partly why you wait...
+1 karma for snail suicides suck, and this one sounds to have been unpreventable.

you'll have to keep an eye on it, it'll munch on soft corals and anemones.
I would set the fuge up in a closed loop expecting it to cycle. I don't think you'll have to replace the mud but it'll take a bit to get back to...
your mag is still low, should be 1400-1500, your ca is still low What does your WC schedule look like, and what salt are you using? Is there any...
how old is your lighting? It's possible you're not getting the cool light you used to due to the age of the bulbs.
Fill out the ASAP form in ASAP start here. I'm betting insufficient cleaning crew on the sand issue. Do NOT stir the sand or you will crash your...
Now add Carrots, celery, some spices to your QT tank and bring it to a rapid boil. Call me when dinner's ready!
Cycling can be a lengthy process, and is really pretty cool Live Rock and Live Sand will contain stuff that's not live, and is in fact dead. During...
