20G can give you some wiggle room on what to add. I have a pair of Maroons, anemone, cleaner shrimp and a small 4 stripe damsel in my 20G. On...
My tanks are grounded, they have been misbehaving! :hehe:
Definitely turn off your pumps when you add the pods. I would also turn off the lights to give the pods a chance to seed into the LR so they can...
I drilled my stocked tank and had no issue at all. I put gaffers tape on the inside of the tank to prevent the pulverized glass from getting into...
A chiller is something you want to go bigger, not smaller. There are a very few companies that make very efficient chillers where they are...
I only have chaeto. Caulerpa is illegal in CA.
It will literally look like a puckered mouth, like a kissy face. The inside of the lips will be exposed slightly. They tend to do that when they...
Water changes will insignificantly reduce nitrates unfortunately. If you do a 10% change, it will only reduce the NO3 by 10%. That means your 20ppm...
Some of us don't have a sump that big to have all that room Luna, sheesh. <insert jealous humor here> hehe ;) All joking aside, do you ever worry...

Blennies are extremely hard to take care of in general. My tank is over 5 years old with enough LR and a fuge, and I couldn't keep my blenny alive....
120G is a decent tank size to set up. Be prepared to drop a decent amount of money on proper equipment for a tank that size, namely a good skimmer....
Yup, just like Matt said, keep your Mg, Ca and KH in line and it will grow. Make sure your NO3 and PO4 levels as low as you can get them, as those...
Just buy a good Mg test kit. Seachem, Elos, Salifert, Tropic Marin all make good test kits. Test your Mg levels, then get it up to the 1300-1500...
As Scar said in "Lion King" "Be prepareddddddd!!!" hehe Tanks that big are a huge undertaking to get started.
Big tanks are awesome, and they leave a ton of wiggle room as far as water quality, but they are EXPENSIVE!!!! Running them leads to a small fortune...
Anemones need to have meaty foods to "feed" the zooxanthellae in their tissues. In the wild, they catch unsuspecting fish that wander into their...
Keep an eye on it, it may be aipstasia.
