He's probably very stressed out, but at least he's back in the tank. Keep us updated as to his progress.
Very nice to hear that. Many times new hobbyists don't accept responsibility or don't take constructive criticism well. I think your on the right...
You need to test for ammonia and nitrite. If either one is present, your tank is cycling or re-cycling due to the added bioload. There are some red...
I commend you for asking questions about these creatures before you have gotten one, but it sounds like your not ready just yet. Do more research and...
Here's my 55, been up for about 3 years now. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Agreed. Your parameters are probably out of wack and your lighting isn't enough. I'm glad to see you are taking this seriously and you seem to be...
I don't see a problem with what you did, it's like nature, weaker fish will die and feed other creatures.
To answer your question, I would put one in just for my own piece of mind. That is a lot of weight. I have my 55 on a 4" span with 2x6s. If I was...
Very true. Just another warning about manual removal. Make sure to get all of the little pieces. I had a pretty bad outbreak about 2 years ago and it...

Asterinas do eat coraline, at least some. Why do you want to get rid of them though? They add to the biodiversity in the aquarium, plus, I doubt you...
You seem to continually blame the problem on the weight of what you have in the tank. I highly doubt that is the problem. The tank probably just has...

It's hard to give an specific advice on flow for anybody's tank. The rock formation, dimensions and corals all can drastically affect the flow...
Here are things to consider too when purchasing. Remember that the corals won't always look like they do on online retail store pics. Colors change...
Looking good so far, nice job.
In sump by far. You just have more water volume, more room for sand, rock and macro algae. It's not a question in my mind, the in tank refugiums just...
It seems like you have several things going against you, a small tank, the difficulty of your livestock, and you not testing your parameters or not...
