I guess I'm going to go against the grain alone. lol I've always ran my tanks at 1.025 - 1.026. Just seems more natural to keep it the same as the...
IMOPE, most reef fish don't thrive well long-term on a single source of nutrition. There are several types of frozen mixes. Quality flake and pellet...
Just thought I'd share this. Enjoy! :) NOAA determines 20 corals do not warrant proposed endangered species listing — Advanced Aquarist |...
Personally, I wouldn't recommend anything with "metal" in the name. They do make an aquarium-grade putty stick; here's a list of others that will...
+1 Many prefer that method as their scape can still be easily disassembled. You could also use Epoxy or Super Glue Gel. IMOPE, hot glue is more of...
Yes. IME, copper can kill the biofilter. I've never actually used it myself, but I had a neighbor with a 300g FOWLR tank full of large fish. He...
Since you're in the market for a fixture, I'd say yes, go LED. Reef Breeders and Taotronics get a lot of good reviews. With Reef Breeders, you can...
Unfortunately, Galaxia is only one of the many species of LPS corals that utilize long sweepers. Pretty cool to see it, though. Beautiful shot too,...
Sorry for your troubles and losses... What about fish? Did you replace any of them? Unless you're feeding fish in the 10g, you basically have no...

Hi, and Welcome to 3Reef! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but honestly, the only good advice you've received is not buffering the pH at this...
Guess I need to give Google a few more hits before replying... :oops: :dunce: :book2: Thank you for the correction. :)
How long have you had him, and what do you feed? Some fish will "pig" on whatever is available, even though it doesn't have the proper nutrients for...
The two Koralias would put you in the lower range for SPS at slightly under 55x. Some run 100x or more in their tanks. Unfortunately, you can only...
I strongly disagree with LA; like most other sea stars, the sand sifter is a predator with a specific diet. It is not a detritivore or a scavenger....
Had the same problem with skunk cleaners and peppermints, so I quit buying them for my tanks. Even lost a couple when they tried to steal from nems...
