Sometimes getting a better blue lamp such as the powerful Blue+ or actinic+ will give you more blue than most stock blue lamps... IME a 1:1 ratio...
Remember clams need more light than SPS!
I personally don't care for true actinic's let alone two in a 6 lamp unit, but some love the look. I have seen a couple nice LPS tanks that are blue...
Certain vets will write a scrip for reef purposes. I have seen a few guys pull an article or two off the web, sit down with the vet and tell them...
Instability creates dinos... Sometimes you just need to let it ride. Get your pH up, alk up(but not past 14 dkH) get rid of organics then let it...
Most of the info on red bugs is seriously dated... Much of it was simple assumed and dates back to Dustin, the guy that figured intercepter would...
Thats fine. I would be afraid that if you added higher PAR lamps some of your deeper water LPS esp red trachyphyllias would not do well..

Clean up crew isn't much different than a tang. Both are employed to eat algae.. Tangs on the otherhand(zebrasoma) will eat HA unlike most inverts...
Weird... like I said about 90% of my sand, probably 75% of my rock have seen copper, TWICE... Copper in the seals is silly to me, as the person that...
Even if treated with Cu, I wouldn't really even personally worry. If so, just run Cuprisorb or comperable copper scavanger resin. I TREATED a tank...
What? Lettuce sea slugs don't even eat bryopsis, at least with any regularity.
What type of algae are you trying to overcome? Zebrasoma tangs(like yellows and scopas) eat more filamentous algae esp sailfins that like fleshy...
Trying to grow doobers again huh ermano?
Sorry to hear Phil! I hate crashes, its like getting kicked in the jewels but even worse, like also being eye poked at the same time. Stick in there...
