Awesome, but where are the pics????? Luna
No, Lysmata Californica or Catalina Cleaner Shrimp or other wise known as Peppermint Shrimp. The trick is to buy a couple other wise they will...
Their not picking at the coral per say, probably just around it. Remember that Pepper's are scavengers, I have never seen them eat away at a coral....
There are many ways; Lemon juice, boiling water, Joe's juice, Aiptasia X but the way I personally like to use is Peppermint Shrimps. Cheap($2.99...
Yup and very healthy. If you dont get rid of the Aiptasia, the Zoas will not open up b/c of its stinging tenticles. Luna
BTW, where in NY? luna
Try using Photobucket luna
Cant see the pic for some odd reason. luna

Guiding by the pic that you posted, it looks fine to me. If the clam looks different from when you added the PH, then re-direct the flow away from...
I also had one acking the same way as yours. Never ate the food that I gave to the masses. But never got the chance to find a solution b/c he...
General and great rule of thumb is to test for everything you dose. luna
Thank you, this is what I meant by "a long post". If your LR was out of water for 2 hrs, thats a long time. Good luck my friend. luna

If your asking me what pump/gph you should have, thats a personal pref. Some people like a low gph and have powerheads to create circulation....
Yup, 1800 gph, but thats what the pump is rated at. That doesnt mean that is what I have going through my system. You have to take into consideration...
Am I firm believer that you need both a skimmer and a refugium. Luna
Second thing, are you dosing Iodine? If you are, you need to be testing for it. High Iodine levels will cause havoc and even a crash. luna
First thing I saw was that your temp is low, should be between 77-81 luna
