Loctite is the same as super glue. Problem is, you can't glue down soft corals. They have to grow onto a rock, first, then that rock can be glued...
Never get tired of the Red Planet shots! Awesome.
You should have set the QT up with an established HOB filter, that way you would not need to do water changes. Too late now, but look into that for...
The fourth picture looks like bryopsis, not too sure about the other ones. IME, it doesn't always look fern-like. The last time I dealt with it, it...
Yes, get the Cuprisorb in the little bags. It can be recharged. Are you planning to treat the fish in QT?
Copper treatments done at the correct dosage don't kill off the beneficial bacteria. Your tank should cycle well before the eight weeks are up.

You don't need to feed every eye. Looks like yours is eating very well.
I gotta type faster, lol. :P
Maybe I should explain it a little better. It's important to get some established bacteria in your tank, because the ammonia is burning their gills,...
Cool. Your challenge now, as you know, is to keep the ammonia down. Do you know anyone that will let you borrow an established HOB filter, or...
Salt should go in after the water.
IIRC, if you use the same bucket over and over, the residue can cause some cloudiness. Some salts take longer to mix up as well. Temperature of the...
How long has it been mixing?
I was at a guys house recently, and he showed me the difference in PAR with and without glass tops. There was a surprisingly insignificant difference.
Wow. A lot of posts while I was typing. Just what I was thinking. He really needs to stay on top of things with a FO system. Hopefully YOU can...
Mmmm. I wouldn't necessarily take the advice of another beginner to literally. There are a lot of tiny critters that live in marine tanks that are...
Thanks. That makes sense, if they're not aligned, they vibrate more. What about the flow on the frag tank? How high and what mode works for you?
Keep in mind that study/chart is from 2008. There are a number of new salts since then, and some of them changed their formulas.
Looking good so far! How is the flow from the MP10? I thought about getting one for my 30 breeder frag tank, but heard some people complain about...
