You could assume that your nearing the end of the cycle if you now have an Algae bloom. But it does not mean the cycle is done. You still have to...
It's hard to say. The better the colour and rarity of the piece will warrant higher price. Check on line to see what the market will bare....
thanks
I've had several local friends who I would consider SPS experts as well as Calfo Id it as a red/black bacteria or Algae. None thought it was Cyano....
How much LR do you have in the Tank. NO3 @ 20ppm isn't that bad. Certainly not cause to freak. I would watch it. Do 10% water changes weekly. Not...
It's possible the Damsel is feeling the effects of a cycling tank. I would not perform water changes as that will stop the cycle process. Choosing...

Well up until 2 months ago, I was running my 370G tank on a skimmer rated for a 75G. I have 300lbs of Fuji LR and no other source of filtration....
But you are basically running mechanical filtration competing with your LR. DeNitrate sponges, PhosGuard are all unnecessary with good husbandry...
What stuff does it take out that a skimmer wouldn't also take out? and mechanical filtration that is removing nitrates is doing the same job as the...
Skip a filter. A good Skimmer and Live Rock is all you really need J
I would not put LR in the QT tank. The coper will leach in and if you ever use it in a tank again, It's possible the coper could leach back out....
If you adjust the air intake until you get no micro bubble in the tank. What is the foam like in the skimmer J
