    You can, but I would also feed them larger foods. They can easily eat large PE mysis shrimp and pieces of meat.

    Usually between 3-5 times a week. They can survive with less, but they need a lot of food to thrive.

    First time with sun corals...

    I've never been a fan of the bowl technique. It works, just too much work for me. I just turn the flow off and feed. If they are not open, put a...

    If it's fish and no corals, I wouldn't worry about it. I let the temp on my FOWL tanks go down to 70 in the winter. Just watch the fish for stress....

    loosing the battle to raise kH (and maintain)

    what do i do ?????????????

    No, the chaeto needs to float in water, and you don't want it getting into the return pump. Having a RODI unit will save you time and money all...

    what do i do ?????????????

    You don't even need the extra rocks in there. Your tank has enough area for bacteria to grow. Chaeto is for nutrient export, nitrate and phosphate....
