Here are a couple of links that I consider excellent material. I just wish I'd had the same info with my first SW aquarium. ;) Chuck's Addiction...
That's up to each individual aquarist. Personally, I placed it in the main tank, with additional LR in the sump, but putting the LS in the sump will...
Actually, you're closer to 24 US gallons: 20 US gal = 75.71 Litres = 16.65 UK gal 24 US gal = 90.85 Litres = 19.98 UK gal Gallons (U.S.) to Liters...
May take a while, but it'll pass. I had nearly the same situation- I introduced my second Ocellaris more than a year after the first. Took almost 3...
That's why you never keep more than one of any single species, unless you want a species-specific tank, of course. ;)
What type of damsel? Some are much more aggressive than others. CIP- I had a Domino that persistently harrassed a Picasso Trigger. However, I've...
1) If you are using water from an existing system, about two weeks. 2) Live rock in the sump is how it got it's start as a super-efficient...
I wouldn't worry too much, just yet- territorial wars are not uncommon in SW aquariums. Keep a close eye on the new clown; make sure he doesn't...
Necessity is the Mother of Invention Ah, yes... the "good ol' days". lol Actually, when I set up my first saltwater aquarium, it was taboo to...
Perhaps I misunderstood the level of aggression from your shrimp due to my own experience- it occurred during the day, especially at feeding time....
With clowns, gobies, and pigmy angels, I feed frozen krill, clam, squid, bloodworms, brine and mysid shrimp, kelp, and spinach. You might want to...
I had to vote yes, reef safe. My Coral Beauty hasn't touched anything in the three years I've had it. I've also had, in past setups, Flame and...
I had the very same issue with a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp when I first introduced my Condy Anemone. However, the Condy stood his ground, and about a week...
I hope for your sake that it's a friendly one, as well. They're a bugger to catch when they go rogue on you. For the record, I'll never own another...
Sorry to hear about your Firefish. You'd really be better off with a true Dottyback- similar in appearance to the Pseudochromis, but far less...
You really don't want to siphon directly into the sump. Even if you could get the flow adjusted perfectly (which is highly doubtful), you would still...
Glad to see we're all in agreement. k+1 for everybody. ;) Cheers
Exactly... and Thank You. ;) Also, I am sorry for your loss. The Frogspawn is one beautiful coral.
Perhaps the word "toxic" is being used a little loosely? I'm simply referring to the upshoot in DOCs, which, depending on how much decaying tissue is...
I'm not disputing anyone else's experiences, or denying their right to share them. I'm only saying that personally, I prefer to err on the side of...
