You say you want your lighting to be a bit better, by that do you mean the colour or are you looking to add some LPS or SPS corals?
I am running 4 T5's in my tank and I have a mixture of some LPS and SPS corals. The SPS frags are currently mid way up the tank and one of my...
I agree with coral_reefer. However, if you're talking about a DSB where it's depth is just below the water surface then indeed you need a much...
A fuge is short for refugium, it is basically a separate tank where water from your main display will be 'fed' into it. It will contain a substrate...
I'm with reef_guru on this. I have a deep sand bed and I dont do anything to it, my clean up crew keep the top layer clean so the sand is always...
I also use the cocktail shrimp method, used it a few times and it works a treat. Chuck it in a net, let it decompose and remove when it has turned...
That's what you missed, mind you I'm not sure if you were just being cynical!!
I would do a clean up and combine it with a partial water change. Maybe just use a syphon over your rocks and replace with your new water. You then...
Sounds ok to me, I would rather debris not to settle on the rocks and eventually it will work its way into whatever filtration you have. The areas...
If there is still mucas on the leather then it probably isn't getting enough flow. Mine used to close up for a couple of days and then reopen again,...
I agree with Jason, generally people use Damsels when cycling as they are one of the more hardy fish and yes there may be a chance that it doesn't...
I agree with that, if I took the advice from one of my LFS then my tank would be full of all sorts of chemicals and treatments which are completely...
I have two cleaner shrimp in my tank and they release their live young every 3 weeks or so. The eggs are green and the shrimp hold them under their...
The first picture is indeed a filter feeder, here is a post about the same thing: http://www.3reef.com/forums/id/ids-please-43293.html#post390930
The skimmer I now have was actually cheaper than the prizm I originally bought!! Over here in England the prizm will be in nearly every lfs as well...
Best mod for a Prizm is to buy a different skimmer! ;) I had one for around 6 months and then replaced it with a coralife, great value and works...
I can't see why a joiner would cause an issue, maybe particles in the water column could get stuck but that's all I can think of. I think the...
I also add a vitamin supplement and it seems to be help my tangs.
I am also dubious of treatments, my impression is that if you need to perform any kind of treatment then ideally it would be in another tank. As for...
I have a two koralia 3's in mine, one either side of the tank both pointing to the middle. They work really well and I recommend them, the...
