I'm all for you getting this clam out... let this be a lesson to those putting a new clam in a tank to place it on a small rock first for this very...
alumina based media is supposedly bad for corals, especially if the residual dust gets on them. GFO is supposedly safer, but it's about 4x as...
I agree on both accounts... I don't keep leathers, zoa's or chalices, so maybe that can attribute partially to my success with SPS keeping while...
I agree that this study needs further testing, but I do believe that the study shows that using carbon can exacerbate the effects of HLLE. It is the...
If you read the article, there is an obvious risk.... Do you have tangs? You have to ask yourself one question. "Do I feel lucky?" ;)
There was a thread on here a while back about calcium reactors vs. dosing in which the costs were weighed out over the course of several years of...
now, to reply to the original poster, I believe some of the best reef safe fish are most goby species, fairy wrasses, clowns, tangs and anthias....
I personally think that many of the "tang police" came to be because of noobs buying up 4-5 tangs and putting them in a 55 gallon tank when they are...

I was going to use phos ban to get my phosphates down, but I've always heard it's bad for SPS corals... I'm going to try this first. Thanks for...
while you're at it, roast some marshmallows and make smores... mmmm...smores.
There are a lot worse things you could spend your money on... let's just say at least reefing is a healthy habit. ;D The one purchase I thought I...
I'm in Atlanta and the crazy tornado weather literally split into two halves and went just north and south of Atlanta... it was like moses parted the...
I used to think a generator was overkill... I have a UPS battery back up that I plug one of my Koralia pumps into, it will last for at least 6-8...
While you can pack a tank full of corals, another thing to think about is calcium/alk/magnesium consumption rates... when you have a lot of SPS...
