The title says it all. I'm not sure about the best way to clean out my filter sock. I have been rinsing it out with warm water and then flushing...
No worries there. I'm not a big urchin fan.
Welcome to 3reef. Look forward to the pics!
Could you post a picture? Generally, if mucous is coming of of them they are not happy. When the ricordea in my tank split, they usually make a...
Phosphates are a type of nutrient which if allowed to persist in a reef may cause undesirable algae growth. What size tank do you have?
I had a mean false perc. Paid $30 kept it for 1 1/2 years. Sold for $15. It bit, so I suppose its favorite food was me. Now I have a Clarkii that...

I like Catalina because I don't have to let it sit overnight before use, but it is getting expensive now that I have two tanks. E.S.V. advertises 10...
I haven't had any issues.
What more can you tell me about the lights. watts per bulb, PAR, color temp, number of bulbs, light spread? I am looking for a few supplemental...
