UVL makes good bulbs, as do ATI and Giesemann. Those are the three that I have available to me easily. I think the ATI Blue Plus bulbs are one of the...
I think the placement is fine for now. What are you planning on keeping in the tank? The amount of flow and the arrangement of the flow should...
I would actually cure it outside of your tank first if you're intent on using it. After bleach etc, I would soak it in RO water for a while and then...
I don't think I would use less than two Koralia 2's. I don't have any of those softies. My zoas did fine in a 30 gallon with a 2 and a 1 and a 300gph...
Powerheads are generally rated by the manufacturer as to how much water they move. It's generally stated on the packaging or the website where you...
The amount of flow should really be dependant on what corals you're intending on keeping in the tank. Koralia's seem to me to be pretty much the best...
Looking good. I'm not sure if it's just the pictures but I didn't see any snails or clean up crew. A good turbo or trochus snail will help at least...
Your clowns will be fine and overall I think that's the right choice for a reef. Maybe I'm just too paranoid too but I wouldn't want to have to worry...
Here's probably more than you'll ever want to know about designing sumps. He does it all with acrylic but it's just as easy/effective (maybe more so)...

Here is an article discussing it in more detail, it's not that old, 2003. It sounds like freshly mixed water is harsher at least on some animals than...
That link didn't work for me. I've heard good things about using the prodibio system to keep a low nutrient system if you can afford it but I...
If they're still only on the frags you could either kalk paste them or even just pull the frag out and superglue over the hole they're in, I think...
What is your salinity? That is something else to check and also do you have a regular topoff process in place to keep it stable? Everything...
Happy (late) Birthday, those are some awesome looking zoas!
Welcome to the club. It's fascinating stuff. :)
One thing to think about as well is that it's an uncontrolled source. What if your city all of a sudden starts using a different treatment process...
