Keep your mouth closed and wear gloves while working in tank. :) You missed the point- your own urine will be the proverbial drop in a bucket once...
No, the blackout won't harm the corals; however, you need to find the source of your nutrients and address that issue first. Otherwise, the algae...
Good choice... and so did I. :)
Exactly what I was looking for. :)
Batting 1000 with their technology, aren't they? First it's the digital throttle control that sticks, to which they responded with the auto shut-down...
IMOPE, just because nems can sting at random doesn't necessarily mean that they will. I watched as my RBTA wandered into a colt coral. The tentacles...
Yes, the bacteria that oxidizes nitrite into nitrate, oddly enough, is sensitive to high levels of nitrite and will become inhibited from making the...
Looks to me like green coralline. Does it rub off easily? FWIW, coralline will grow most anywhere and comes in a variety of colors. Cal, Mag, and...
As long as the original tube is not damaged, you might try to get him to go back in. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. I'll agree that the...
As for light timers, if your fixture doesn't have it (them) built-in, yes the $10 timer from Wal-Mart or a local hardware store will work just fine.

So sorry to hear that. My thoughts and prayers go out for you and yours.
You need to retest your phosphates with a different kit/tester. If that number is accurate, it's way too high for stony corals. It should be 0.03 or...
I've only been to TFP once- was not fond of the number system at all. Too hard to keep track of the numbers and make sure your original selection(s)...
For that very same purpose, I have my lights set to run from 12 - 8 PM. :) FWIW, I just added a lunar LED to my tank a week ago, and had to pull the...
Absolutely not. It might be a "normal" reaction to unnatural conditions, but IMHO that's not normal. :) FWIW, I pulled the plug on my lunar lights...
Looks great!
The purpose of water changes is to export nutrients; there should be zero nutrients in the make-up water, providing the OP is using RO/DI water and a...
