I've heard of a decent number of problems with closed loops, especially if you don't regularly maintain them by disassembling everything and doing a...
I agree, I know it's off topic since you seem set on the CL but is there a particular reason you're going with a CL on this tank? I'm not sure I...
I see, no clue then, maybe give them a call? Sorry, I can't help more without more details. :)
There are some SPS (SPS is a VERY broad term, hundreds of species) that will do better with a little less light. Most Acropora species will do well...
Before putting them in the tank I don't use soap unless I think my hands may have something potentially more dangerous than soap on them....
It will help but I would look into the quality of your current bulbs and reflectors as well before adding more electricity draw to your system. Good...
I'm not overly familiar with sulfur denitrators but what kind of calcium media is that? I don't know but if you're trying to use regular calcium...
If the brine are enriched, otherwise they're pretty low on nutrition. Mysis or another high quality frozen food would be a better option, otherwise...
Sounds about right, I'm not sure if you can feed ricordia, you could try though. I've never kept them. Careful not to overfeed the acan though, try...
All good info so far, I found this article helpful in understanding it though, if you want some more reading/details. Low pH: Causes and Cures by...
IMO no way to tell. Here's more. http://www.3reef.com/forums/coral/zoa-growth-84704.html
I mean nailing down which zoas will grow fast, which will grow slow and which will grow erratically. It also depends a lot on the exact tank, I've...
If you have a sump and a skimmer I wouldn't worry about oxygen exchange at all.
Lower salinity (1.023 instead of normal 1.025) does allow for higher oxygenation, I'm not sure exactly how much a point or two is going to change...
Pics...I'm still getting used to shooting in this new tank under completely different lights etc so I need a little slack as far as quality goes. :)...
Decided to take the McCoskers out of QT last night. Everything went well once I got the trap placed in a way where they wouldn't try and eat the food...
Good luck with the flametail, never heard of a blenny killing snails but I haven't researched them much because they can be occasional coral nippers....
In my experience it's completely random. Some will grow in spurts, some will grow fast all the time, some will grow slow all the time. I have no idea...
Well good to see you have had some success. I would be very interested in seeing it go another month but I'm not the one who has to dose the stuff....
Just to comment on the aggression aspect of it, you should expect some aggression and fighting as they establish dominance. I'm not sure if it's any...
