One may need to run a chiller if you have metal halide lighting. Personally I like running a chiller. Mine is set at 82 F, and the heater at 80 so...
Yes very possible, and not uncommon for pocillopora to spawn and attach to substrate. How true that is of stylophora I do not know. Some people that...
Too bad they did not give you a value. Bob Goeman lives locally I saw him in the LFS lately and asked him that question " What value of phosphate...
Yes if you have enough live rock and you are not over feeding, with slower introduction of fish you should not see an ammonia spike. Add to that the...
There are always phosphates in the food we feed our fish, no way around that. Feeding larger fish and you are going to see an increased phos level....
Try either turning off some of the lighting if that is an option and using the flash, or turn off all the lighting. I take most of my pictures at...
Interesting, thanks. Similar problems in N. Ca. When the sea otter populations took the dive, the populations of urchins sky rocketed, in turn the...

Thanks Indiana, He has been with me for 3 years. He turned grey after a year and I was all concerned about it only to find that some do that....

I think he looks fine, perfectly normal, especially considering how it looked in the am. Pretty BTA BTW.
Welcome to 3reef, I would go ahead and get it, sounds like you have been very patient and the tank is established. Just check parameters first. As...
Not if you keep it at a therapeutic level, which you need a copper test kit for. If he is not eating he probably will not accept the algae or food...
I have started many a tank using all cured LR from one of my other tanks, and soft cycled the tank while watching the parameters. For someone...
Hi and welcome to 3reef, I am pretty fond of zoanthids as well, love the different colors and lash sizes. It could easily become another sw...
Yes, however ideally the nitrates should be lower but yes you can. Try a water change before you buy them.
No not really The only thing that will do that is a fresh water dip/bath as the change in osmotic pressure and will destroy the parasites present...
I just googled " images of frogspawn coral" saw about 4 that look exactly like yours .:)
