Normal activities. They need to be in moderate to high flow and medium to high light. You can remove the skin or let your clean up crew take care...
Awesome info and article.
Sort of but I would suggest ordering from Green Leaf Aquariums or someone like that. You will get commercial grade fertilizers. While you are at it...
Not with the lighting you have. You will need to dose N, P, K, Fe and trace nutrients daily and pretty heavily. Adding Seachem Excel daily with the...
You are absolved since this is a temporary arrangement. Congrats on catching the fish, kudos for trying to create the best environment for your...
For a tank that size DIY CO2 probably won't cut it. Temperature difference will not matter. If you can hang it from something I would do that, even...
I agree they need to adjust to the new flow.
Yes it would just mount the fixture 24" to 30" above your sand to keep from light inhibiting your LPS.
You can try using a 2 liter soda bottle with the top cut off and inverted in the cut out section. Put food inside to attract it. Buy a fish trap or...
You could probably drop down to 1.003 SG. Try searching for how to hatch nerite snail eggs. Never checked it out myself.
That is plenty and will allow you to buy LPS and some lower light needing SPS. Mushroom corals, leather corals, zooanthids and glove polyps will...
You can cut back to 2 bulbs but will only be able to run them for about 4 hours a day or you will most likely have algae issues without using CO2....
See answers in red and good luck and enjoy. Take your time when cycling the tank and adding in fish. See if you can get some filter material from...
Way too much light if you don't want to use CO2. I use 2 T5HO bulbs on my 75 gallon planted tank and need to fertilize heavily and use lots of CO2....
There is more problem with overdriving the bulbs (using substantially more energy than the bulbs were designed to use). If the wattages are close...
I can vouch for the larger crustaceans making it and the smaller ones dying. They can kill off your corals because they eat the food that your...
The culprit is most likely at the top of your pic, nerite snail eggs. They will most likely not hatch as they need brackish conditions for that.
Don't know what you are dealing with, but I would do an iodine dip and see how the worms react. I definitely think they are your problem.
Go with the Ocean Sun over the Super Daylight. This would be good for a mixed reef tank. I would go with blue bulbs over the actinic if you go SPS...
FW can be a death sentence for coral, especially SPS. The Coral Rx should be fine. Just make sure you use water from the DT with the Coral Rx and...
