I use Marine Depot and Pet Solutions for dry goods, hardware, etc., and Live Aquaria for corals and inverts with excellent results. Have never...
Looks great! The backdrop highlights the minimalist appearance with the coral heads, etc very nicely. As for the "old school" technology, it didn't...
+1 Same here with Instant Ocean, Reef Crystals, and Crystal Sea. Always wipe and rinse my bucket before and after each use.
+2 Artificial plants and deco designed for freshwater tanks tend to leach phosphates and/or silicates, fueling nuisance algae in saltwater....
Sounds like coral warfare. The mushrooms are reproducing to compete for space, but can only take so much of the palytoxin released by the polyps...
I don't have any experience with it, but here's a bump for your thread. :) While you wait, here, also, is a good read on UVS: UV Sterilization -...
Very impressive tank, Daniel. And in only one year? Yeah, I'd be proud too! :)

Turn the unit upside-down and remove the splash guard. You should see 4 reflectors, each one wrapped partially around each tube. If it only has a...
Ah, yes... the good ol' days. lol. Reminds me of when my daughters were young. Always loved taking them trick-or-treating. And you better believe Mr....
Excellent question. With individual reflectors and quality bulbs (Geismann, ATI, etc.), you can grow anything you want with a 4-lamp T5HO fixture.
Tank looks kinda crowded, Todd. I think you need to thin out your corals and send your overstock to me. :D Very beautiful. Nice pics and video, too....
A pic would be quite helpful. Sounds like you may have Bryopsis- some strains look similar to GHA, but it can grow in low-nutrient systems. GHA,...
Hoping everyone has a delightfully spooky day! :D
