Awesome, watching Mandarins spawn is really fascinating, youtube/vimeo search for it there are plenty of videos out there of it.
Buffers IMO are not meant for reef systems because they impact alkalinity generally, just keep the room well ventilated and watch your alk and the pH...
In the pictures above you can probably see the salifert ammonia kit I'm using. I still have no noticed a significant color change away from 0.0000000...
Here's the 1 week wet update. More of a full room shot, with flash and without. I posted both because I think it's interesting the color of the...
Just wanted to make sure you knew these get to be pretty big for a halichoeres wrasse, 7-8" I believe. Looks like you have a 190 so it should be fine...
Looks like a Lobo to me too, little rough around the edges though, with some TLC it should be fine though. Good luck!
I don't know about DIY but there are controllers that handle that type of thing. I think there is a Ranco thermostat/controller that's relatively...
I agree, it's probably more likely a sense of security. I've read some other experiences where confident open-swimming fish sometimes "teach" more...

I don't know offhand, I would go to Target and get a kitchen scale, they're like $10-20 or something cheap like that, then just measure a quarter cup...
I'm not sure that Diamond gobies (genus Valenciennea) are the type of goby that pairs with pistol shrimp. I believe naturally there are certain...
You're missing out on some really interesting behavior if you don't get the shrimp too. :)
Sweet! Good news :)
First of all, don't take this personally, just offering my opinion, also sorry for the sorta off-topic discussion. Also my comment on the BeanAnimal...
I'm here supporting the beneficial scavenger group. Removing these is a bad idea IMO, they are good for your tank.
There are also links to lots of ID pages in the stickied threads in this forum if you can't get better pictures.
The distinction I make is that they potentially could eat something, but generally serpents/brittles (excluding the greens) don't. Even the greens...
There aren't very many aquaculture places that do such a good job of marketing themselves, as well as having good reliable products in quantities...
Probably depends on the coral, some you can target feed to speed them up (mostly LPS I believe), some you can raise your alk level to speed them up a...
Just wanted to add, everything *should* be fine, if everything is healthy and thriving. If anything is stressed out or is having trouble it might be...
