Two words... "Sales Pitch".
+1 IIRC, the technique of using LR was introduced to replace the old method of placing live fish (usually a couple damsels) in a sterile tank,...
Perhaps I just got lucky, but my cleaner wrasse took to frozen food right away. He's been happy and healthy for over 3 years. I will note that he...
Cool thread. Frogspawn, open brain, flowerpot, button polyps, elephant ear, and condy nem: frozen mix of mysis, brine, clam, squid, krill &...
Have you ever been reef-diving, or even swimming in the tropical Atlantic or Caribbean? You'll be surprised at how different it is from the northeast...
Actually, yes. :D You must remember that their natural environment is quite dynamic, not static. During full high or full low tide, the water...
+1 Thanks for the update. ;) To answer your other question, how long it takes can vary. For instance, my Colts may close anywhere from 3 days to a...
The SeaClone is not a bad skimmer, but there is a growing controversy over running a skimmer 24/7, or at all. I won't start that debate here, but for...
Might sound too simple, but try feeding a small amount of RO/DI freshwater into the air line. You'll be surprised how little dirt or dried salt it...
Hmmm... I thought 50/50 was the usual. ;) Standard 50/50 bulbs are 6500K/460nm, so you'd definitely get more light from the 10,000K Daylight and...
How long have you had him? How much has he grown since you first got him? Does he act increasingly aggressive during feeding time? IME, gobies start...

That's very doubtful, unless you recently upgraded. As others have already mentioned, leathers and softies do shed on occasion. That appears to be...
Did you try feeding water through the air intake? I suggest that because my neighbor had the very same problem with his Seaclone when he switched...
Caribsea Arag-Alive is exactly what I have for a Live DSB in my sump. Works a charm for denitrification and plankton production. It can be used in...
+1 People complain and blame their sand bed instead of themselves for not researching and setting it up properly to meet their needs, and that's...
Of course, you could use whatever you want and top it with rubble to keep it in place... it all depends on what you want from your substrate. Do you...
A sand sifter is any critter that actively stirs the sand looking for leftover food and detritus, such as the Nassarius Snail and Sleeper Gobies....
Sounds like you may have some dried salt or dirt in the air intake. Try feeding a small amount of RO/DI freshwater through the air line while the...
