    Chalices

    Splitting OR Dying?!!!!!!!

    Saltwater buffers

    Dosing for the first time

    Splitting OR Dying?!!!!!!!

    I would leave it in until it's all gone and definitely dead personally. It's not big enough to cause a nutrient spike I don't think. Maybe it will...

    My 180g tank build, starting from scratch

    What is a good RO/DI filter??
