From everything I've read I wouldn't freak out, lots of people seem to get that from time to time with palys/zoos. I personally would start using...
These are the best ones I've seen (or ones of similar design). They work inline so you just have to press the on button once in a while to check how...
+1, I don't think you'll get enough benefit for that extra hassle. If you went DSB you would never be able to remove your standpipe without removing...
You guys are killing me, 10 pages in one day? Take a break! Don't you eat or go to the bathroom? :)
To me the nutrients are the easiest thing to deal with with a large skimmer and refugium, I would be more concerned with oxygen levels and...
I don't think it will be worth having a 2.5" refugium, I have to disagree with Mike (for once :) ) and say everything I've ever read is that bigger...
I did believe you. :) Glad it turned out for ya!
I would stick with just the Tomini tang and drop the yellow. I think you're in the higher end of bioloads for a 75g personally, even after removing...
I would recommend reading a few articles on the basics of saltwater chemistry, I agree with the information that was given but if you're interested...
I only cleaned the precipitate out every few months when it got excessive and I had to worry about it getting into the feed pump. There's no problem...
I try to keep mine between 9 and 10 but 10-12 is fine too, just try and keep it stable. If you go much over 12 IMO you run into more problems with...
My plumbing is in my build thread in my sig, might be a little more complicated than you want but might give you an idea. It will vary depending on...
With only 20g you're going to find it difficult to find a true predator I think. Especially one that won't outgrow the tank and one that won't eat...
I'm in the 55 is too small for tang camp unfortunately. Everything else sounds good to me. Wrasses are great tank inhabitants, most are peaceful,...
I've heard of some urchins munching on some types of softies like xenia but it's all anecdotal. Generally I believe they're pretty reef safe, nothing...
I think I agree. You could try disturbing the "bug" thing and see if it retracts into a tube. The sponge I believe is a type of scypha sponge,...
I agree 7.8 isn't necessarily a bad pH as long as that is the low point of the tank. If you measured this in the morning before the lights come on...
Peppermint, cleaner, blood shrimp (all the Lysmata genus) are good beginner inverts IMO. You could also look at a brittle star or serpent star, they...
Yeah it takes a long time. Look into the auto shutoff kits that are sold at places like bulkreefsupply. They really make making water less annoying...
I brewed for a few years, I think I overdid it and burned myself out on it though. Too much hassle cleaning the bottles and didn't want to invest in...
