Along with filtration, added water volume, and hiding equipment, the sump/'fuge is an excellent place to breed 'pods. The pods will then move up...
It does need light because it is an algae. But it does prefer low light over high. That is why it grows at the bottom of the tank first. The color...
It needs calcium and light (especially actinic) and patience to grow. There is also a product called Purple Up I have heard of that is supposed to...
I would suggest that you try introducing a very dilute quantity of the garlic powder to the system to ensure that you don't PO any of your corals....
IMO, tangs (esp. yellow) and related fish are particularly susceptible to Ich. And trying to catch a fish in a reef tank will be very stressful to...

Congratulations on deciding to go salt. Be prepared to find yourself sitting and staring at the tank for indefinite amounts of time. REEF IS AN...
I agree and disagree. I ran a 5g cube for 2 years before upgrading to my 20g. It was easy to care for and maintenance was quick. Everything that I...
