    Tank swap 24g to 34g ... Questions

    +1 To add to Sailorguy's posts, if you have a DSB, I wouldn't touch it. However, if it's 2" or less, you should be fine using it in the new tank. As...

    Powerheads

    +1 Absolutely. That will allow you to place higher-flow loving corals at or near the top (usually prefer higher lighting as well, anyway), and...

    How to keep Live rocks alive?

    Clean up clams

    A fad indeed, and also a myth. While certain clams and other bivalves do feed on dissolved organics and detritus, like any other living organism they...

    carpet or bubble tip?

    +1 Also, meddling with lighting, flow, etc would just be more stress. I'd suggest you leave it alone and let it acclimate to it's new environment.

    tell me how this idea sounds

    That should work great. The Matrix would remove impurities that the skimmer missed, and you'd get a lot better flow-through with it there than in a...

    Anyone have a biocube protein skimmer?

    RODI filters

    How dirty your tap water is will determine how long your filters will last, so the logical right way is to use a TDS meter. When you get measurable...

    reef tank tops
