More info from RHF on iodine, great source. I wouldn't worry about it, personally. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-04/rhf/index.php#17
All good advice, especially bulkreefsupply for cheap basic additives, they also have all of the calculators and instructions for using them. It's...
+1 for the 3" adult size fairy and flasher wrasses, most are great for a 55g.
Get a TDS meter and check the output, if it's 0 TDS go for it, just make sure you don't get in trouble for using it. :) Even if it's RO/DI that...
Have you double/triple check your test kit or pH probe? Recalibrate, try another calibration solution, try another test kit. Try the aeration test,...
It's a risk IMO, it's up to you whether you want to take that risk. Fish behavior can vary from individual to individual and from tank to tank. You...
I agree with Guitarman but just wanted to make sure you keep your livestock in mind. If you're going to be keeping all soft coral you probably want...
I do think you're pushing it especially once you get all fully grown fish, especially that tang which is probably on the large size for a 4' tank....
I would recommend setting up with a couple of pitchers/ containers/pots/pans whatever and get used to how it works, what happens when you unplug it...
Yeah if they're new to the tank especially after that sort of an ordeal unfortunately I can't say it's too surprising, to me anyway. Like you said...
Just to directly answer your question about phyto. Phyto will not directly feed most coral, it can feed some of the zooplankton that may be living in...
I just don't think the bitter part should be as prominent, maybe semi-sweet. :)
There is a reset sequence you could maybe try, it's in the manual which is on the Ecotech website if you don't have the physical manual handy.
I get moments of this, and have especially in the past had more of this type of feeling, especially with my previous tank which I wasn't happy with....
Oh OK, so you might run into issues with aggression from those tangs then, just be prepared. You also may have issues with excess nutrients from all...
Your coral list looks fine, just be careful of the type of Acanthastrea you are getting. A lot of them are very aggressive and can eat other coral...
Sorry to hear about the clown. How long have these fish been in your tank? If a fish is well established and is well fed and healthy, one day...
I agree with it not being an issue of the powerheads being too strong. I have a 1" flasher wrasse that has momentarily been caught offguard by my...
Looks like a good list of links, nice work.
Agreeing with other suggestions. I don't think Coris wrasses are good for most reef tanks, especially since they are commonly aggressive once they...
