Amazing work! The tanks look beautiful :) As far as wavemakers, I would suggest you keep your plan of getting a couple (few?) Jebao WP40s. I have...
Do you have a picture with the heads fully open? It is tough to tell when they are closed like that. But from those pics, I also think they look like...
+1 to everything. If you are using an API test kit, it is very hard to distinguish between 0-.25PPM. I would highly recommend getting a Seachem...
Welcome to 3reef! Where abouts in MA are you located? I am from the Worcester area.

You can get a clamp light with aluminum reflector from Home Depot along with a 6500K 13W CFL bulb. Total cost of $13. This will do just fine and is...
Best advice I can give is to get your wife on board. Have you taken her to a fish store to show her what you are thinking about? Although I make all...

Sorry for your losses. TO help figure out what is going on, could you provide the following info: What size tank? How long has it been setup for?...
But do you ever target feed it? I target fed my candy cane 2-3 times weekly (usually mysis) and after 6 months it went from one head to at least 20....
I bet just bi-weekly water changes will keep up with your light demand huh? :) Gorgeous tank, thanks for sharing the video!
Basically they operate by having a small pump (such as a Maxijet or Cobalt 600/900/1200) inside your sump (usually the skimmer compartment) which...
Congrats! Care to share what you did to win? Edit: Nice, detailed, write up! You certainly did the right thing by catching them. Although you did...
