Another update today. First of all I came home from work and decided to clean my skimmer cup. I turned off the pump and cleaned the cup, which was...
Welcome to the hobby! I think you would be fine with 6 5ft T5 bulbs (assuming the tank is 18" deep and 27" tall) for a mixed reef. 3 of these if...
Maybe look at a small goby? A shrimp goby and pistol shrimp or neon goby?
I've heard a few reports from reputable sources of this working as well.
I've never heard of that site but that's an incredible price for that fish although since they are sensitive shippers I hope they know how to handle...
Also, what about the possibility of a compromise? Since I would be surprised if anyone really changes their mind completely. What about using a...
That's a good idea to try. I've read the same thing about the pictures. Seems a little silly at first but I've heard it works. Let us know...
My issue here, not to start a huge thing, is that there is a difference between preparing animals for consumption and intentionally putting a live...
I think right now the Apex and the Profilux controllers are pretty much top of the line. But really what you should be looking for totally depends on...
I personally think only the smaller Ctenochaetus tangs are appropriate for 75's. Some people are fine with moving fish out when they get too big but...
Any idea if the frag was fresh cut, or cut recently? I've seen lots of Acan frags die for one reason or another soon after they've been fragged. I...

I think you will get better nutrient export with a skimmer rather than a refugium. The design looks good to me though, I would just put a skimmer in...
Glad to hear it's resolved. I don't use the night mode on mine.
This is a bit old but since it got revived I'd like to throw my 2c in too. I had problems with peppermint shrimp (definitely, not camels) digging...
Sounds good to me so far. Maybe it's too advanced for what you're looking for but it might be worth mentioning flow patterns, laminar vs...
I read somewhere that the original intention of the term "nano" was for 30 gallons and under but I tend to think of 20 gallons and under as nanos...
Sounds like a good deal to me if you like all those corals. Not sure if you're aware but be careful with the Chili coral and the Gorgonian. The...
I think you'll be fine with a sump and skimmer, although I would take all of the caution others have talked about to heart as well. You will probably...
Keep in mind all of the work selling/giving away fish you don't want and cleaning the rocks etc. If you have plenty of time and not enough money this...
