Sounds great.... let's get started! :D
A lot of beliefs in this hobby are based on passive observations- i.e., someone added a UV sterilizer to their tank and, unknown to them, the fish's...
I remember the first time my very first nem closed up like that- scared me half to death, and we didn't have internet 38 years ago. lol. Next day it...
Yes, a skimmer does remove salt. Dissolved organics are attracted to the SW foam, and the dirty foam is what rises into the cup, separating itself...
A good LED system will support anything you want. FYI, it would save you a lot of trouble and money to do some research, then upgrade your equipment...
Never touch or try to move a nem. You can easily injure it, not to mention the stress. Nems frequently close to exchange water, expel waste, etc....
Then you're good to go. Just be sure to acclimate the fish. :) FYI, the bacterial colonies are dynamic, not static. IOW, they grow and shrink...
What size is your tank? How much live rock do you have? How many fish and how much do you feed? Do you have corals, and if so, what type(s)? What are...

lol I had one a few years ago. By the time he was 4 inches, he had all the sand piled against the front glass, and you could see clean bare bottom...
RO/DI will remove it from your tap water. Cuprisorb will remove it from your tank if necessary. I'd test before using anything in the tank, though....
Just a couple of notes: 1) You cannot add fish immediately just because you're using nsw. The bio-filter is not free-swimming; it colonizes on...
Actually, yes it was: The Petco real ocean water is filtered, skimmed, and uv sterilized. There's nothing in it to die or decay. Furthermore, as...
+1 Exactly. You should never dose anything for which you can't test, and you don't even know what's in that stuff. Once testing shows that you need...
Ahem.... This thread is just a bit dated... like 14 months. I'd like to hope that Mati L's tank is stocked and thriving by now. :D
Hi Lisa, and welcome to 3Reef! You might want to consider feeding a frozen omnivore or carnivore mix cube occasionally, as that will provide them...
