Agree, if it holds water don't take a scalpel to it. I had this issue with one of my older tanks and for added peace of mind I just doubled up on...
If you only can find one, take the rock out of the water, get a lighter or mini-torch and burn it. Or chip off that piece of the rock. That's the...
Yea superglue is safe. The dobie pad works pretty well!
^ I started using my own water (much cheaper to mix your own) and my algae almost completely went away, cyano and GHA. From now on I only trust my...
My personal experience has been: I started with tap water (bad algae), started buying water from LFS (not as bad algae, but bad enough algae),...
Fill up the top with what you think looks good, take a couple of those chunks and break it up, and leave a couple good sized ones to put in the fuge....
This happened to a couple inhabitants in my tank when I first set it up. Died for no reason, levels were fine and had plenty of oxygen. Sometimes...
A very small hole will work, enough to get air inside. Another thing you can try is mount the return hose just below the water line, that is safer.
I don't think it will, but in excess I'm sure anything does. Use sparingly, maybe a couple times a week. I like to put my clip near the bottom too...
RO/DI from the start is probably the best thing you have going. I only wish I was wise enough to put up the cash and buy one, pays for itself within...

I love hearing about a new fish! Following :)
^^ Good idea. When I did mine I didn't even care mainly because the lights were off and it was cycling. No critters in there so I just filled it...
I won't complain if I can peel them off the rock. My xenia move and spread out fast. I wish I knew they were so mobile :P
Mine like low and high flow. They are not a picky bunch.
I have tons of those in my sump. They look cool I wish they didn't magically disappear.
I have the original MyTouch and the battery life still works almost two days with moderate use. That Evo is a life sucker it sounds like. The next...
Most corals will slime up which is why I always try to frag it out of the tank when I can. Your skimmer will probably foam up a little more but as...
I was not aware you can peel it off the rock. I'm going to try this to avert my impending Xenia bloom across my tank! :D
