Just to clarify, are you looking for a cheap test kit or a probe like the pinpoint your friend has? The kits are liquid chemicals and get used up...
If you want better mechanical filtration I would do more expermenting with other filter types in your wet-dry. There are lots of types of...
That would be another (long) discussion for another thread, or maybe forum all together. :)
I don't think it's ever mandatory, you just get a lot of benefits from running one. Personally I would never run a tank without a sump if it wasn't...
No idea about survival rates of clams, I would assume aquacultured would be more hardy due to being raised in tanks and being more acclimated to an...
I don't run a Ca reactor at the moment but am setting one up on my new tank. I'll be using the Aquacontroller 3 which you can hook up 2 PH probes to,...
Buffers tend to affect your alk as you've found out. I wouldn't bother chasing PH if it's not horrific (horrific being like under 7.7), as long as...
Give it some time to get used to the tank IMO. Since they were the same size it might take a bit for them to establish dominance. Good for taking out...
I would not do the Achilles, they require a lot of room when they grow up, the people I've known keeping them have 8' long tanks in the 300 gallon...
I think it was Orbital Technologies, unless Aquatic Illumination is some sort of parent company or subsidiary or something. Orbital Technologies LED...

Montipora Digitata :)
Is it a reef or a fish only tank?
If your water quality is good and nothing is still harassing them I would bet they will come back. I've had some grow back from just shreds of flesh.
It's a marketing term I've seen used a few times, they are just regular power compacts when I've seen it used.
Look at the bristletooth tangs, in the Ctenochaetus genus, like the Kole tang, Tomini, Chevron etc. They are relatively pieceful and are designed to...
I think basically you can add it now but it's riskier, why not just wait a little longer and be more sure that you'll be able to support it?...
10x is higher than a lot of people run, I think I see most commonly between 5x and 10x. a 1" overflow and 3/4" return is fine for a 75g IMO. I'm...
I'm not sure personally but I would upgrade your skimmer and introduce any more tangs last, get all your more passive fish in there first so that...
