And I believe that's exactly where I am. There were never so many of them that anyone who ever has come to look at the tank has ever asked - oooh -...
Ah - that's one thing I DID notice is that a few of the micro brittles in the tank were bugging out - forgot to mention that. But still it sounds...
I have had a small visible population (never more than a small handful) of flatworms almost since the beginning of my tank's existence almost a year...
Sad to hear it was taken down - but great that it may serve the purpose of helping other captive corals!
Steve, Is this little gem still sparkling?
Or possibly offset the thermostats to stage the heaters. Set one at say 78 degrees and the other at 75 degrees. This way if the tank either gets...
I agree with this entirely - I would add that it's only the initial cost that is so high. The offset savings in: electricity, bulb replacement, and...
WOW!!!! Looking SWEEEEEET!!!! Your canopy is perfect for those Lamps!!!

I am guessing that your question is something along the lines of "can I house SPS corals in this tank with the given lighting?" And based on this...
Always nice when ppl's first handful of posts show they are headed in the right direction!!! Your tank is looking great and you are off to the right...
Very clean and professional looking!!!! Great job so far IMO.
IMHO - that's your main culprit right there. You should try to use RO/DI water which has 0 TDS. Those "TDS" will often be in the form of...
This is generally not an issue if it is an in-sump skimmer. An external skimmer that uses sealed plumbing connections would require adapters to US...
