It is a common occurance. Not sure what causes it myself but would guess interspecies aggression. Jack
Blue clove polyps. If they spawn, watch out they will be all over your tank in no time. Jack
We have 4 on our frag tanks. So far so good. They are not the best skimmer in the world but they do pretty good and you can't beat the price. One has...
+1 on the nitrogen unless you are starting a cyno outbreak. In that case the cyno is releasing gases. Do you see the beginnings of a slimy film on...

I'm no chemist so take this with a grain of NaCl :) From what I understand, water will only hold so much "stuff". When you added calcium and...
+1 800W is a lot of light and those reflectors are very good. Jack
