    HOB fuge

    I've never done it myself, but I'll bump your question with this: I believe the main consensus is that every little bit helps. However, I doubt such...

    too much calcium a problem?

    That's still a bit high. At 1.024, the cal should be under 400. Do you use RO/DI water? Tap and bottled "spring" water contain minerals that add to...

    Sump issue

    I'll chime in with my two cents-- What's done is done; I see no need to change the pipe at all. If anything were to go awry with the drain, a...

    sump salinity

    You lost me there-- regardless where the sump is located, you need a pump to circulate the water. You do not need a float switch, however; your...

    Dry rock leeching phosphate

    Coralline Algae

    Congratulations, Z. You'll be cursing it in no time. :D Keep scraping it off the glass. That will help seed the rocks.

    Fish and shrimp compatibility

    FWIW, anytime you mix inhabitants with that much size differential, you run an uncalculated risk. Nobody can make a guarantee either way. It will be...

    Aiptasia? Old brain coral rock? Green Algae?

    Great Zeus and Apollo, Frank! 39 years in the hobby, and I've never seen an aiptasia that big. I'd be afraid that it might kill the shrimp if they...

    Live rock curing HELP please :)

    MarcoRocks Aquacultured live rock?

    Seed rock is little more than a money gimmick. It's just precured base rock, and unless you buy a lot of it, it will have little to no effect on your...

    Yes, you should add a shrimp or ghost feed with fish food. The bacteria needs a food source to survive and grow. And no, you don't need to turn off...
