Yeah, single digit TDS after the RO is prefectly normal. RO membranes typically do something in the high 90%'s of TDS removal and the DI canister...
Adding it after the fact is possible however it may be much easier to do up front if you want to drill out your display tank. If you don't drill your...
Nice clarification, I agree.
That happened to two of my SPS when my alkalinity fluctuated a lot. I fixed my alk and it fixed itself in a few days time. Have you doublechecked...
Some things to keep in mind with flashers is that if you do get a nicely colored male, some species will not keep their colors unless they are kept...
Shrimp or watchman goby/pistol shrimp pair are awesome to watch. Also firefish are cool and do well in smaller tanks.
+1 for a cleanup crew not another fish also feeding less is probably good too. Brittle/serpent stars are good and one should be enough for the tank I...
Well, for whatever reason they decided not to join us in this world. I wouldn't worry about it if your colony looks good though, seems pretty common.
I haven't had any good luck with those baby heads on mine either. I think some of it might just be that they don't get enough light being shaded by...
That sort of a setup is probably OK for what you're thinking about (minus the clam as already stated). BUT adding a sump will make things a lot...
I agree with everything said already, but just wanted to point out that looking great doesn't necessarily mean its what's best for the tank. :)...

I think adding two flasher wrasses at the same time is fine, just don't add two males of the same species.
I lose track of some of threads I post in, sorry! :cheesy: That makes sense, it's not just a return pump. That's also less flow than a lot of...
I would say clean it out as often as you have the energy to do so. :) Really I think every couple of months, maybe even as long as 6 months is fine...
I know I'm not John :) Do you see any benefits from running that much water through the sump? These are the cons I'm aware of with running a...
I do about 5-10x through the sump per hour. I haven't heard of any good reasons besides trying to keep detritus suspended as to why you would have...
You might want to start your own thread if you want a lot of detailed help, but basically 8 bulbs over a 24" wide tank is about right, it's more...
Nova Extreme use pretty low end reflectors and come with low end bulbs, OK since they're so cheap but you get much better performance from some of...
I linked it in my first reply.
