Looks great, Zeo. :thumb_up:
If installed and maintained properly, the DSB provides natural nitrate reduction (NNR) with the development of anaerobic bacteriums in the lower...
Here's to hoping for ya! :beer:
Definitely call them. IIRC, you've had it less than a month. If you bought it new, they should fix or replace it for free. In the meantime, do you...
If you took live rock from an existing system and allowed it to dry for a few days before reusing, or if you put it outdoors where it could become...
Your nem will move around until it finds a spot where it's comfortable with flow and lighting. You won't kill it with too much of either one. Your...
Thank you, and you are correct. "Back in the day", we didn't even know about the nitrogen cycle. It was normal practice to add a couple of cheap...
Just a few decades ago, all we had was tap water. There were many, many successful SW aquariums running with well or dechlorinated city water. The...
To be clear, bio-balls do have their place-- in a wet/dry trickle filter running on a FO tank that lacks live rock. They provide a place for the...

+1 FWIW, the planktivores in our tanks (fish, corals, inverts) feed on zooplankton (pods, etc). It is the zooplankton that feeds on phyto. It won't...
I don't think it will stay like that very long- it can't. It'll have to get better or it will die. Nems are one of those creatures that are difficult...
Do you know all the ingredients in that, and are you testing them to make sure you don't OD your tank? If not, then I highly recommend you rethink...
When a new tank is first cycled, it usually goes through various phases of instability/parameter swings for as long as a year. Nems, as well as many...
LOL! Yes.. yes they are, Newreef15! If reincarnation existed, I'd wanna come back as a Clownfish in your tank. :) Clowns are not fussy eaters and...
