In all these large water changes you've been doing - has the salinity/SG of the tank, or the temperature of the tank varied at all? Sometimes if you...
In that case, adding this rock to your established tank will likely cause a mini-cycle, which could potentially harm your livestock (although it may...
Not sure why bleaching this rock would be necessary, unless you knew it was covered in aiptasia or bryopsis or some other pests. If this was the...
Sorry to hear about your loss. There are so many differing opinions about crypt treatment that it is hard to know what to do. I have posted in the...
I would say you have 2 good choices: 1) A reverse day/night cycle. In other words, set your fuge lights to go on when your DT lights go off. That...
The way you know is the fact that you have an algae outbreak. This, by definition, means that you have excessive nitrates and phosphates, or else...
Gotta throw my 2 cents in here. First of all, clownfish are almost as hardy as damsels, but are more expensive. So most people prefer to cycle with...
There has been LOTS of discussion of this topic, as you will see if you search past threads. Many people are passionate about their pro- or con-...
Looking at your list, I have the following comments (which you may or may not agree with, upon inspection): 1) Your tank is overstocked for its...

You might try an elegance coral. It looks somewhat like an anemone but does not move around. Worst case scenario, if it doesn't make it you can...
+1 wondering what is the size of your tank? With 15 fish, some of which grow quite large (eg. foxface), I would expect a tank of no less than 150...
The real test is whether you are showing any nitrate. You see, one of 2 things is possible here: 1) your live rock and sand already have enough...
I can only tell you what I have done successfully, both with a crocea and a squamosa clam. I would consider a freshwater dip to make sure he's not...
I've been doing some research into starting a pod farm myself to keep my mandarin better fed. According to the companies I contacted, they say to...
How big is it? My fuge is 10g and I use a reading lamp with a 6000K 60w fluorescent bulb.
