For fish that draw you in closer what about a shrimp goby and pistol shrimp? They are awesome to watch if you like that sort of symbiotic behavior....
I go with 5-10x the display tank volume for flow through the sump. I think a mag 9.5 is too big if you run it wide open, if you dial it back it...
Are you sure the shrimp was alive when the star grabbed it? Maybe the shrimp died and the serpent was just cleaning up?
I didn't on my new tank but if you're adding it to an established tank and it's a significant portion of your rock I would look at curing it a little...
The only thing about air stones is that you may have salt creep to deal with from all of the bubbles popping on the surface. I've heard it's a good...
You can, but a number of people find that in a tank that isn't very well established and doesn't have a large sandbed their diamond gobies waste away...
I would be concerned about a few things. I think the sump is undersized generally speaking but it really depends what you're looking to get out of...
Did you ever use any medication in your freshwater tank? Anything that might have somehow bound to the sand? "Ocean Sand" may just be a marketing...
I disagree that it's a simple question. ;D MH can theoretically hit some higher peak PAR values in certain areas under the bulb and if you go large...
Well I'm not sure what kicked off the mini-cycle, unless your test kit is misreading nitrites. I would just wait it out, your tank should be...
I've heard of 6 lines being aggressive even in medium-sized tanks like 120's, I'm not sure I would count that out. Of course every fish is different,...
+1 on not cycling with a fish, I feel that it's inhumane. Everyone has different levels of sensitivity to this though. Regardless if the fish...
I like fairy/flasher wrasses, go all wrasse (as long as your tank has a canopy or cover. :) You may need to remove the dragonet though as some...
I wouldn't remove it until after it's definitely just skeleton. I see no harm in leaving it in and giving it a chance to recover. Your timelines are...
Sorry the picture is too dark or blurry for me to get a good idea of what it looks like. Maybe try scrolling through here? Worm Hitch Hikers
Looks like possibly some type of polychaete worm to me, hard to tell though. There are a huge number of them. There is a good sticky thread with some...
I believe some fungia species have the raised dome as well which makes it really confusing. Yeah Diaseris Fragilis is one of the species, I believe...
Thanks! That's a good question and I'm not entirely sure, I bought a bunch of rock up front from bulkreefsupply, then I hand picked a bunch of pieces...
Yeah it's really simple, requires no permanent modifications, can be easily switched on and off (get an auto shutoff kit as well so even if you...
I would just like to add one more complication. Refugiums can be used for many different things. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish with...
