Looking great, Cheryl. The new cam seems to be showing the colors a lot better.
It may depend on the brand and should be on the label. For an established system, you'll want to start with roughly 1/4 the recommended amount, then...
Reactor is the most efficient, but you could build your own. Pretty much anything that will keep the GAC contained and to which you can attach a...
+1 Absolutely. You'd do better with the GFO in the reactor and the carbon in the media bag.
Yes... I was getting a lot of time-outs and "site offline" errors earlier today (up until about 3 or 4 hours ago). Seems to be a lot better, now.
You need an account with a photo storage site (I use photobucket). Post your pics there, then paste the link to them in the "Insert Image" ([IMG])...
Sorry I can't help, but here's a bump for your thread. Hopefully someone with some knowledge of that unit will chime in and get you going.
What do you mean by "inverted"? A pic always helps if you can post one. I recommend highly against dosing iodide unless you are testing the levels....
Unfortunately no, not unless you move them (or the wrasse) into a different tank.
Only if it came from a tank that had long-term issues with high phosphates. :)
Test your ammonia and nitrites in the tote. If they're still zero, then the rocks are clean. If you have a measurable amount of either or both, then...
Yep, too much light. Try moving them down to the sandbed. BTW, how long do you run your lights each day?
If it was left open, I'd suggest testing for ammonia before using; any organic contaminant could launch a cycle on you.
As long as the buckets are air-tight you'll be fine. I'd suggest aerating the water overnight before using after it's been stored.
That should work. Just look for leftover coralline in/on it before rinsing- it should just wipe off with a cloth or sponge after the vinegar soak....
IMOPE, your skimmer will only remove a small percentage. If you feel it might still be an issue, you could run a prefilter sponge on the intake. :)
Are you sure you have a royal gramma and not a bi-color dottyback (pseudochromis)? They do look fairly similar. I can definitely vouch for the...

I've always kept all my tanks at 79 and everything has done quite well. While it's a bit lower than what most tropical life is used to, they can...
No. 78 - 82 puts everything in the "comfort zone" while keeping our tanks manageable. While natural reefs range from 85 to near 90, it would be...
