Work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy!! My partner has nothing to do with my tank, she says I spend far to much time on it (which I don't),...
I like the hint of blue, so I ended up using an ATI aqua blue special, which is like most other companies white bulb! EDIT: So I use 4 of the...
I also change mine about once a month, I fill up a third of my reactor and leave it running 24/7. Like most things it is more cost effective to buy...
Never seen it happen, but I also would love to see them do it. It amazes me how the entire shell stays intact. Anyway, I always leave the remains...

+ 3 on that. I didn't bother with the skimmer until the tank was cycled, so for me it was about 6 weeks or so. I cycled using the raw shrimp...

I will go with some type of encrusting montipora.
I would add any rock to your tank slowly, that's not 'put it in the tank slowly' I mean a piece at a time over a period of time and check your levels...
Could be another UK reefer! Welcome to the site :)
I have a valve on my return pump (in the sump) that will put the water straight back into the sump. So, when I do a water change, I can either...
