Probably not. Once a fish or crustacean starts attacking corals or other sessile inverts, it usually just gets worse. Remove one of them. That will...
Basically, you're being paranoid. You've had it 2 days, have already fed it once and want to feed it again? Don't do that. That will kill it. Relax...
I've often wondered if a bilge pump could be used, as they, too, are fairly inexpensive. But as boat accessories, they're only 12v, so one would also...
Not exactly what you want to hear, but as appealing as it sounds, predators in a reef tank that small is a recipe for disaster. They eat a lot and...
Small chunks of most any raw meaty seafood- shrimp, clam, etc should be fine.
Is it just my eyes, or has the top right arm recently been severed? Could be a defense from being attacked or possibly stung by the nem. I'd suggest...
First, you need to decide what types of coral you plan to keep so you know how much flow you need. You'll also want to use 2 or more smaller...
+1 If you look hard enough, you will find that most brands of salt mixes will have similar "studies". They're in competition- of course each one...

+1 Lots of people agree with lots of things that have no actual scientific backing. I'm not claiming to be an expert on the subject, but what I do...
I'd say leave them to the experts. I've seen several threads where an experienced aquarist crashed or nearly crashed a mature, established tank with...

Absolutely. Theories abound, but what they have adapted to over the past few hundred thousand years will always be best. If lower salinity was less...
Oh, yeah. No doubt in my mind.
A lot of good replies, here. You're not the only one scratching your head, Vinny. All along and even to this day you will find in the quick stats for...
It depends on how much algae you want. :D Seriously, you don't need supplemental lighting during the cycle. I like to run my lights longer to force...
They do have a potent sting. While extremely rare, they have been known to detach and float around with the current, killing everything they touch....
Sorry for your losses, Smitty. :cry: Do you still have aiptasia? If so, it's possible that they brushed against one and got stung while you were...
True, but then again, Tom didn't actually specify bacteria. :) I suppose there are 2 sides to the argument: If you are dosing for SPS, then excess...
I use Black Diamond GAC in my HOB. Keeps my water and tank sparkling clean. :)
