Yeah, unfortunately when corals get knocked over, they can get damaged and start to die off (probably not from touching it, but I guess anything id...
Some people run a split cycle on frag tanks. It can be okay, but for acclimation could be stressful. Also, as far as acclimation is concerned...
If a water change will raise the pH further than 8.5, something is wrong. How are you testing? What salt are you using?. How are you testing...
"Intensity not up to PAR" ::). Time for some LEDs :P Well, looks good anyway though ;)
Looks good! Sorry to hear about Tthe coral deaths. Where's the sea apple pics?
With non-intermittent powerheads, you'd probably do best with something like a gyre flow. You can google that. Also, there is some description here...
Yeah, it could just mean it's going to end up in the bubble coral. Neither are "natural". So, not necessarily any reason it would choose the bta...
There are really only 3 things needed for nos, you just need lots and lots of em. 1) time 2) money 3) patience ;D. I would definitely check out...
3-4 mm? That would be really small for a mantis.... Maybe a peanut worm or some other worm I'd guess. Also, I don't believe any species of mantis...

Congrats, but where are the pics?
Copper won't bind to glass. It will bind to organics, which will bind to glass though. Usually it is recommended to clean glass and plastic...
The idea, of using bioballs is usually that tricking water over them allows for better gas exchange and more O2. The nitrifying bacteria can then,...
Well I,m not Steve, but I can point to data pretty readily ;). You'll probably never get denitrification on bio balls though due to high O2, but...
The problem with bioballs is not necessarily detritus (as mentioned but not fully elaborated on). This may contribute to some extent thoug. A...
No,not really, test kits are part of the hobby.... Algae is probably the most reliable indicator of N though to be honest... Some web searching...
It's not clear that any coral can survive with no nitrates. Many do fine with undetectable nitrates though. GSP seems to prefer a bit more, with...
