FWIW, most SW tanks end up as "semi-aggressive", as the majority of fish eventually choose and defend a territory. :) I wouldn't recommend a pair of...
Agreed. Also, how are you measuring you SG? Cheap hydrometers are notorious for inaccuracy. Getting your SG to 1.026 with a refractometer would also...
Nova Extreme 2 x 24w; 2 ATI Coral Plus bulbs. BTW, rocks and substrate are still bone-white in this pic. [IMG]
IIRC, the Emerald is the only Mithrax crab that is considered reef-safe, and that does not come with a 100% guarantee. FWIW, I had a large amount of...
Agreed- it is not uncommon for a new fish to take up to a week to start feeding. I wouldn't risk water quality by throwing extra food at him. He'll...
Sounds like you don't really need anything, although a reactor won't hurt. To check out Bulk Reef Supply (BRS) for reactors and media, click on...
My wrasse was a rescue- a LFS was cycling his tank with him. I don't recommend one, and I bought this one against my own better judgement as they can...
No harm as long as the nem doesn't mind. :)
Very nice. Congratulations!
If you saw them on the coral and it was dying, there's a strong chance they were munching on the coral's tissue. Without a doubt, misidentification-...
Nope, totally harmless. Check out the "Mything the Point" links in my sig.
I have zero mechanical filtration on my 29g. With a proper stocking level, CuC, feeding regimen, and routine maintenance, it's not really necessary....
Exactly. There are several threads here regarding their "pecking order". It usually takes a large school in a very large tank to prevent it.
If you have a reef tank with true live rock and live sand (with the plethora of micro and macro detritivores and filter feeders), then yes, it is...
Yes. You can keep them in separate tanks, or put one in the sump. Otherwise, the bully will eventually kill the weaker one. That's exactly what...
You're quite welcome. :)
Considering the higher flow rate and amount of foam produced by the larger skimmer, that does make sense. Thanks for the clarification. :)
For the U-tube type, fill both sides of the overflow, slide a piece of airline hose into the U-tube, then put U-tube into position in the overflow....
I can't speak concerning the fixture, but here's a bump for your question. While you're waiting, just curious- is there a reason for wanting the...
I don't agree that black absorbs light, at least not to a degree that would be detrimental to your corals. That said, my personal preference is blue....
