Experience. My very first SW tank was a 20g. Over the years, I've had 10s, 20s, 29s, and 55s. With the ever-increasing list of aquarium-suitable...
Every tank is different, and apparently yours isn't producing enough nutrients to support the chaeto with the GAC and GFO reactors running. GAC...
Congratulations, Todd! I truly am happy for you. I hope everything works out. :)
Yes. I would'nt be afraid to place a SPS near the top in my tank, especially with the ATI bulbs, although flow may be another issue in such a small...
IIRC, the reef-saver is man-made, hence the name- it is not taken from a reef, and therefore, would not contain any organics from former lifeforms....
That's most likely the case, as many SPS corals are very light-demanding. I don't have that particular fixture, but I do have the Nova Extreme...
You have the right idea- you want the white pad to trap the detritus first so it doesn't clog the pores of the carbon. :) Todd is mostly right,...
I agree with HollyG's suggestions, except the Chromis school... You do not want to add 5 or 6 fish at once to a 30g tank. That would most likely...
Looking great, Holly.

Or maybe we'll just see another tank build thread? :D Congrats and good luck!
First, calm down, Bro. Breath... breath... breath... :) Assuming you only purchased one, keep in mind that softies and LPS will survive for a few...
I use good ol' tried-and-true Marineland Black Diamond. Works just fine for me.
I have, in the past, used the plain ol' $9 timer from Wal-Mart with a muti-outlet adapter plugged into it. Worked just fine. I now have this:...
The 3 750s set up the way you stated in your original post would provide the more random flow and help prevent dead zones.
Your friend probably has experience with the MaxiJets or an equivalent. The Koralia units will be just fine with the wavemaker.
I've never used that setup; however, green hair algae is the product of excess nitrates and phosphates. It has nothing to do with the tank or whether...
Here's what I have on my 29H reef with ATI bulbs... Nova Extreme X2 T5HO Fixtures, Aquarium T 5 Fixture | PetSolutions
Your flow would be sufficient for softies and LPS; however, I highly recommend that you use Hydor Koralia powerheads; while MaxiJets are fine for...
+1 What you have will be fine for the livestock you want to keep.
