Please be aware that WPG is a dated and not accurate portrayal of what you need wattage wise to keep a reef tank. On that 55g, with t5ho, I would...
Did you buy the fixture new? If so, you should get whole new light fixture at no charge. Otherwise, you could swap out the ballast with the stock...
IIRC, the vipers have magnetic. Now some electronic ballasts run pretty hot too. This is normal in any case, just make sure to have adequate...
Hmm, a blue spotted ray? You might have a lot of troubles with that one and smaller fish.
A sea cucumber is a great addition to a reef tank. I have never heard of anyone actually stressing out out to make it expel it's guts and poison any...
Exactly. Now, there are reef safe angels though, but they are from the genus Genicanthus. Thoe are planktivores and truly reef safe. Well, about...
ding ding ding!!!!! :)
Muggle, how long has the tank been running? Bristletooth tangs are very heavily dependent on film algae, detritus, and other stuff that only grows...

My Kole instantly ate any prepared foods, but other bristletooth tangs I have had never ate one bit of prepared food, and only ate grunge and film...
Yep, that lux meter is what many use. A PAR meter is a lot more money, like enough to buy several sets of bulbs.

No, the only issue is when they are tiny that they don't have the best survival rates. That said, I bought one about 1 and a 1/4" long and it is...
I won't put a CB in my tanks that have clams. They can nip at clams, and even snarf one down if they feel like it. I have been eyeing actual reef...
Are you sure those are evansi? A friend bought a couple thinking they were Bartlett's, when in fact they were evansi's. Evansii's are more yellow...
Yes, sometimes B tooth tangs do not eat prepared foods. So they tank can't be sano clean. My kole was happy in the 90g, but ti is happier in the...
That is a cool HH, anything like that is a good thing, well, maybe not in a reef tank;)
You would have to see what anew one does versus the used ones in order to get any idea. While that photoshop trick sounds neat, it really is not...
