I would aim for an even higher turnover. 20x turnover is a good starting point for most people (unless it's a pico tank, in which this level of...
On the subject of LEDs.... My par30s only have royal blues and cool white diodes, and I'm quite pleased with the color mix I get in the tank. It's...
Congrats on the tank. I like your aquascape.
Wish I had the space for a new tank. :)
See my previous post. I edited it to answer this concern.
Actually, Bruno, if I recall correctly, a humid room would have less evap. When using air conditioning, for example, the room temp. will generally...
Soft corals are pretty forgiving. I think you will be OK.
Sorry, by freshwater I just mean RODI or store bought water that does not have slat mixed in. Don't use straight tap water (even de-chlorinated) if...
+1 to above. In contrast to freshwater/planted tanks, when SW tanks evaporate, the water goes away, but the salt stays behind. This now extra salt...
Yes, that understanding is correct. Coral has a very minute bio-load when compared to that of any fish. Shrimp/crabs/snails have low bio-loads...

Hello and welcome to 3reef. I started with a 29 gallon FOWLR several years ago and later upgraded my lighting to support corals. The tank ran a large...
Welcome to 3reef. Tell us a bit about yourself! Are you new to the hobby; do you already have a tank? :)

Maybe so. I've never personally had that issue with my Koralia Nanos. If they did fall, they won't go far enough to damage most things as they have a...
I get the science of it. I'm speaking from a design sense. The concept of using magnets to drive the impeller is intuitive, and a great way to keep...
... because the motor is in the magnet. Hmm... Seems like a flawed design. lol
Why would a snail being caught in the impeller/cage cause the wet side assembly to fall? I thought the impeller was supposed to shut off when...
Congrats on the new camera. Can't wait for the update, Matt.
Well, there is the Cleveland Saltwater Enthusiasts' Association, which is located in Cleveland. They have their monthly meetings at the Greater...
