An ORP probe will settle in after several hours; no need to wait a week. It's also not surprising that your ORP was in the good range. If it...
Can you be more specific in how you are using it? It should be disolved in purified water and used to top off evaporation. You aren't putting it...
Acropora are sometimes found in tidal areas that shallow. (...some are exposed at low tide!) But you are right, most corals aren't used to the...
Sunlight on cloudy days is also a couple thousand k higher than on a clear day! Besides, most reef life doesn't live just inches from the surface...
Yes, they do spontenously erupt! That's one of the advantages of good live rock. They will flourish if you have some place "fishless" for them to...
To add: The more salt creep you have, the faster it seams to accumulate. A quick wipe with a wet rag - say once every week - should make it pretty...
The "Christmas" wrasse (Thalassoma trilobatum) is NOT reef safe. Take him back and demand a full refund allong with a replacement shrimp. They were...
Very cool indeed!
Well, if there had been a prize, I would have to take it for myself! This is a coral of the genus Merulina. It's a reletively common lagoon...
I agree with Raven, those numbers are good! Don't change a thing.
Just got back from the LFS who had this mystery coral in one of the tanks. The owner called a Solapora .... which, of course, I can find no...
Pointy claws mean it's an "agressive" eater ... it will eat anything it can catch.

Best to let it cure overnight.
The bulkhead is a threaded style and the plug is leaking at the threads? Teflon tape doesn't work well on large threads, unfortunately. Plumber's...
Mud only? Very bold Birdlady. Good luck! If you ever happen to be in the Kansas City area, I'll be glad to donate some zoas!
One configuration isn't inherantly superior, but there are things to consider. Large, high efficiency pumps (particularly ones with high-head...
Mithrax crabs come in more flavors than just Emerald (Mithrax sculptus). Perhaps this is a relative.
10% every 2 weeks isn't that much. It's enough for a mature tank, but you might consider doing them weekly or increasing the volume. With a small...
Move the acro to bucket full of water and get to work with some tweezers?
