Tissue recession, or aka it's dying. Tough to say the cause. I would say that they are better off in the sand. Sharp rocks can cause tissue...
Eric Borneman looked into this and never reached a definitive conclusion, but believed it was a pathenogen from holding facilities, as it appeared...
do you have a picture?
I don't really want to get into this as it's been discussed. Usually in science, to prove something, you need to prove false all other plausible...
All good thing come in moderation; carbon included. Don't overdo it and it will be agreat addition to the toolbox.
There isn't any accurate way to convert lumens to light usable by corals. The lights you describe should be okay for many LPS corals. However, you...
Some people have issues with SPS together with softies, others don't. Keeping them from smothering the acro may be tough. Also, there are other...
I would try running more GFO/GAC, water changes and CUC etc.. If you notice an improvement in 2-3 weeks, just keep doing so. If not, at that...

They are dragonets. Supposedly LFSs started calling them blennies so that they would be easier to sell, as people would think they were easier to...
I think he is talking about carbon dosing, not about running Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). A reason a cycle takes a while is not just that the...
I think ground probes are fine as long as you are monitoring your tank. I.e. disconnect it and check for current on a regular basis. I think too...
1) Silica sand can release silica 2) Silica in an established aquarium is used up quickly 3) I've never seen a diatom problem in an established...
how big a tank again? I would tend to go powerhead, but in a small tank, I may opt for an airstone. If the power stays off a long time, say after a...
