I wouldn't do anything unless the zoas stop opening up or if they start shrinking and disappearing or somehow looking bad. Also if you get a good...
Mag 9.5 or Ocean Runner 3500, or the Eheim 1262 if you want to spend the money on a high quality return pump should be good I think. You would...
Welcome back to the hobby. I think you're on the right track so far and there are some good suggestions in here as well. I would recommend spending...
Yeah, ph will change for sure and is not worth testing. Everything else I believe should be fine, try and keep the temperature stable. I believe if...
I'm not sure, but I would guess sponge too, maybe read a little out here and see if you can determine if it's any of these. Does it have any openings...
Awesome looking gorgonian. Good luck with it.
I just use calcium, alkalinity and magnesium supplements to keep up with demand. I occasionally feed Reef Chili and Rod's food which contains some...
Awesome, glad to hear that worked for ya, that's a big return pump. :)

Depending on how much water you need to store Rubbermaid Brute trash cans are very popular. Otherwise most Rubbermaid containers work well, that's...

I don't know anything about this fixture but if the reflectors are good and you get good bulbs you will be able to keep SPS under them. I just did a...
I would doublecheck your basic parameters with another set of test kits or at a LFS or something. Are they old by chance?
Oh ha! I didn't pay attention to the username. :) Yeah I think you'll have to pull it apart and shorten it unless someone else has any ideas. I...
I would guess it was probably just within the margin of error of the test kit. Once your supplement is dissolved and mixed up in the tank it should...
Sorry didn't see this until now. I actually don't know where to get it, luckily my LFS had some. Might be able to google some up.
I don't understand how that plumbing works, I've never seen anything like it. It doesn't look like a standard durso to me. Durso Standpipes Maybe...
