Exactly how close are the frogspawn and hammer? It's not uncommon for two species of LPS corals to coexist in close proximity for a long period of...
Yikes! Looks like a goner to me. Sorry. Yeah, get it out ASAP before it overwhelms your bio-filter with ammonia and does even more harm. You may...
A pic and your parameters might help. Does it appear to be dead? It won't affect water quality, otherwise; however, if you have another issue...
+1 If you do exactly as Steve suggested, yes it will work.
Clean-up crew, which is usually a mix of detritivores and herbivores (mostly snails, crabs and hermits) that will feed on waste, leftover food and...
Everything looks good except your phosphate- 0.00 - 0.03 is your target. You may need a high-end test kit like Salifert or a Hanna checker to get an...

Definitely much faster. Thank you!
Carbon will definitely help, as will larger and/or more frequent water changes. If the problem persists, you might consider a bio-pellet reactor....
They'll survive with less flow. However, from what I've read, flow affects how they grow. You need strong random current to get good branching. Too...
With a shallow tank like the 20L, you could hang the 4 x 24 T5HO high enough to obtain full coverage without causing problems. I would recommend...
With 9 fish in a 55g tank, you definitely want to get a good skimmer ASAP. It will remove a lot of the dissolved organics, thereby reducing nitrate...
My thoughts, exactly. Nothing beats good ol' T5HO with the right ATI bulbs. :D
