What kind of sand is it, and was it used in a tank before? If it's fine grain and used I wouldn't put it into a tank even after "cleaning" it. Get...
I didn't treat the DT but I had the SG low at 1.021 while my fish were in the QT. The QT was actually even lower at about 1.018. If you do lower...
True, depending on the stage it is in and the temp of the tank. If you can get your DT temp higher without harming anything it will speed up the...
Just advice but if the fish is in your DT then there is only one way to get rid of the ICH. Remove the host for a week or two and let the ICH die...
Pic didn't upload, do u have any other pics?
Congrats on the tank amd welcome to 3reef! Cheato would be better than bio balls IMO. Nice natural filtration and it will definitely help keep your...
lol yes I'm prepared, The plan is to attach it to the back wall... I have a rock next to it right now and the polyps closest to the rock are fully...
It opened yesterday for about an hour with minimal PE. Today it is fully open! Thanks guys for the info.
Sounds like it cycled very quickly. Maybe it never fully cycled, did you try running any carbon? That might help clear up the water.

If the algae on the sand disappeared it might have run out of resources (whatever was causing the growth). If you take the rock out and scrub it I...
Definitely try to find the cause, water parameters good?
updated pics I went to check on my tank this morning and saw these white specks on the glass. Turns out they're nassarius eggs. One of the...
Lol yea I actually moved it to medium flow at the bottom early this morning and figured me moving it wouldn't help... Thanks for confirming!
First pic looks like red slime. What are your parameters currently at? That's something you will want to find the root cause of in order to deal...
I added my GSP frag yesterday at around 6:30pm. It is now 15 hours later and they still haven't opened. I've tried bottom of tank with both medium...
Don't seed with anything from the old tank IMO, start fresh. Place a media bag of raw shrimp in the tank and test until you see a decent amount of...
What size fixture? How heavy? Is it a drop ceiling, or drywall/something that can be cut into? Any local hardware store or lowes/home depot will...
