    Ro/di filter installation

    I've heard that if there isn't a clean cut on the end of the tube that can cause a bad seal inside, you could pull out the tubing and make sure it's...

    Ro/di

    Conditioned tap water may be OK, depending on the exact makeup of the water. Some people use it for years and have no problems, others switch to...

    How do I . . .

    doh, me again! thinking of diy sump/fuge

    Sounds good to me. I don't see how the sump could be leaky unless you buy a leaky 30 long, that was a ridiculous arguement from the LFS. Are they...

    Right flow?

    I would also add at least a K1 pretty much regardless of what you're keeping, I would probably go up to 2 K1's or maybe even a K1 and a K2 if you are...

    Whats the recommended Specific Gravity/ coral problem

    My stock list so far-What else can I add?

    How about a flasher/fairy wrasse? Might want to get a less timid species too with what you've already got. You have some pretty big fish in there...

    How long for coral to regain color with good parameters?

    AFAIK impossible to say, it depends entirely on your tank and how badly it was bleached. It could take months though. Sorry to hear though.

    BTA yes or no?

    Agree with John on the lighting. I think the anemone might work in the 29 but could come to dominate most of the tank as it grows. If you don't want...

    Naked Clownfish trying to use Toadstool as host
