I'd be careful about taking rock like that. It could contain a lot of contaminants. You might want to run a test by setting up some salt water (using...
I have the Neptune Apex and I love it. It will do everything you want - the only thing I don't know how to do is the delay on the skimmer restart,...
Lymphocystis is a virus, more like a cold than anything else. Like a cold, it can be brought on by stress. As long as you've got a well maintained...
Edited out after reading statement below. I'll just say that my hackles were raised when reading the web site. Given that it's not the company's...
They are likely looking at the calcium level and the fact that it is lower than other mixes. As long as you're keeping your calcium where it needs to...
Haha, that reminds me of this line: "I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy..."

I needed to get a decent sized media chamber for my system, but didn't want to spend a ton to do it. I went on to PVCFittings.com and pieced out what...
What you've got should be plenty for soft corals.
First off, changing MH bulbs every six months is overkill. If you get electronic ballasts you should be able to get over a year in bulb life (a lot...
Craigslist: A little bigger than a 75, but... 120 GALLON AQUARIUM FISH TANK
Aside from the heat, what is it that you don't like about your MHs? I've got LEDs, but prefer MHs if possible - power, heat and size are the...
