    Down Grading!?

    Not sure what you're calling a "carbon filter"... Carbon reactor? HOB power filter with carbon? Either way will work, but with a reactor, you'll need...

    Having flow trouble need help

    First, slow down. The algae will rid your tank of nutrients and die off. If it really bothers you that much, turn off the lights. The algae will die,...

    125g switch to Halides; Before and after pics pg. 3

    FWIW, three inches won't make any difference, especially with the T5 supplements. Tank looks great too, BTW. :)

    Well, my McCoskers wrasse died after about 15 hours

    Sorry to hear you lost him. Sometimes it just happens and we never find out why. While I can't honestly say about flashers, IMHO 15 hours is not...

    Down Grading!?

    20g SW is definitely doable. My very first SW tank 39 years ago was a 20g with just a UGF and HOB filters, and it was still running trouble-free 7...

    Any benefit in increasing (30% now) my light output?

    Hard to say, really. If your corals have already reached their peak growth potential, then no, there's no benefit other than making the tank...

    debris or detritus?

    I've never tried a low nutrient system, so I can't say if feeding is unnecessary simply because of pods. Corals generally benefit from the presence...

    Help Me Plan.

    Agreed. Bottom line is, something must go into the tank to collect and return the water. That would apply to the closed loop as well as the sump...

    125g switch to Halides; Before and after pics pg. 3

    Agreed. Just keep an eye on your corals. If they start to bleach, you'll need to back off the MH for a few days, and then bump them up a little more...

    Mushrooms taking over.

    Also, if you don't want them spreading, the best way is to place one dedicated rock on the sandbed away from all other solid structures. Removing...

    Need help with how much to feed.

    As Airstreamin pointed out, all fish are different. Being related to damsels, the chromis may keep eating as long as there is food. The 3-minute rule...

    New fish never seem to eat for me

    That's wonderful news... glad to hear. Good luck to you with both of them. FWIW, we've all made that mistake (and many more) in our 'younger' years.

    To set up or not to set up?

    If that were correct, a 5-year-old child jumping on one foot would fall through. Furthermore, I've never heard of an aquarium of any size crashing...

    Sand or water first?

    Exactly. If you add sand first, pour the water over the rocks or in a dish. If you fill with water first, use a bowl or plastic container to lower...

    what is it?

    That's a SPS coral skeleton. Adds a nice touch as deco and provides the same benefits as live rock.

    Skimmer vs. Media reactor

    Stick with the skimmer. 1) I know you've heard the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Saltwater aquaria is an excellent place to apply...

    Wow, nice tank! To answer your question, yes they can literally hide for days. My very first was a red coris wrasse, and he disappeared for so long...

    Have you ever heard of this?

    The diamond goby is not a predator per se, so the wrasse would have to be extremely small for him to mistake it for food. I've never had that...

    yellow, rusty thing

    GFO should not be "like boiling water"; only the top layer should tumble gently. You want to prevent clumping, but at the same time prevent it from...
