A lot of people put a raw cocktail shrimp in the tank. With or without live rock or a bacterial supplement, you still need to provide a source of...
Then you have hundreds- if not thousands staying under/behind the rocks where you can't see them. :)
Happy Birthday, Vinny! Have a great day, Bro. :)
Sorry for your loss. FWIW, sometimes fish just die. We know almost nothing about internal diseases or disorders that fish can develop, probably...
While any inert container can be used for a sump, MOPE (and that of others) is that LR or any other bio-media in remote places can become a detritus...
How often do you change your filter media? Vacuum the substrate? Do water changes? What type lighting do you have? How long do you run it daily? Does...

Sounds like a neat idea, and I don't see why it won't work. You didn't say what size tank, though. I would think the larger, the better for that...
Looks like you're off to a good start. :thumb_up:
Looking good! :thumb_up:
Can't say I've ever heard that one, although it's possible that the salt irritates the coral and may stress it enough to feel a need to split for...
Only the water evaporates; any impurities will be left behind. However, it won't be an issue as what little may be there will be heavily diluted when...
