Favia/Acans/Chalices are my suggestions as well. They are all pretty hardy, don't require a lot of babysitting and have great colors. Just have to...
Sounds like a nice tank so far! Definitely get a refractometer, not a hydrometer, it's a very small investment that will pay dividends forever,...
Just keep your water parameters good, it might come back.
I know it's not a first-hand report but really I've heard a lot of problems with them. Generally speaking, especially with lighting you get what you...
Just confirming not to trust any single thermometer, none are perfect and 100% reliable. Always have at least 2.
If you're just trying to get a good visual idea it might be worth checking out Google Sketchup, it's a free 3D modeling program and is pretty easy to...
Sorry to hear of the problems. Unfortunately a lot of LFS' are just out to make money, sometimes even good stores will carry some subpar stuff...
Sorry I have no idea what would be causing that. Have you checked every outlet, and none of them are working on the entire DC8? If you're sure...
I think you've gotten good advice so far. The bottom one might be a goniopora as well. In the future it will be easier on your stress levels and...

The temp probes that come with controllers (like the Aquacontroller Jr) are some of the more accurate ones IME. I have 2 thermometers on my system...

Give the GSP a few days to a week even depending on how different your water chemistry/lighting is. If the brittle star is brown I wouldn't worry...
Here are some sites I use regularly. www.asira.org - A S I R A SW Gen Index Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home...
Regardless, I wouldn't worry about it, you can't go back and undo what happened. Just be careful about your TDS levels. You may have shortened its...
Well, I couldn't answer in the 2 hours between your posts. :) But you are probably OK depending on your 6-line wrasse. Some of them turn out to be...
Sounds good to me. AFAIK sexy shrimp are completely reef safe and will not eat zoas.
I think a lot of jumping happens as the lights go off unless you have a dimming light as your "sunrise/sunset". Most fish go to sleep once the lights...
