Also, it's really good that you are thinking about what design you want to do. However, that really depends on the shape of the rock you get. It's...
Fully agreed on using dry rock for many reasons. (more for you money, no hitchhikers etc). I don't like to use a weight rule. I've given this advice...
IMO, what I would do is add a protein skimmer and use the canister or HOB filter to run carbon. A filter shouldn't "keep" your nitrate at a certain...
Nice corals, hopefully they work out for you. And I fully agree with Dingo, local reefers are the best way to get cheap corals. I've bought and sold...
I don't know how it works or even if it works all the time. I've seen rocks with different types of zoas on them and they retained their original...
Don't worry about it, it will either eat it slowly or discard it. I've had corals such as bubbles, favia and acans eat things much bigger then they...
That could easily be it. Once they start growing together they could start to share genes and the dominate one will prevail. I've seen various...
A lot of these snails, I know nerites are, are found in tide pools and along the coast so they actually live out of the water for periods of time. I...
That's really cool, I had a cleaner shrimp, but it never really cleaned any of my fish, not because he didn't try though.
That sucks, especially that you will probably never know what happened. Good luck with future fish.
I really doubt it is dead, GSP is the hardiest coral I know of.
Really good looking tank. Do you have a sump? It looks like you do, but you still have those maxi jets in there, what are they to?
Well stated. I was attempting to basically say this, but not as concise. IMO, it's not normal to read an ammonia spike on a test kit, but the...
Ok, here's what you need to do. That acan looks to be in bad shape, so what I will do is hold on to it for you, nurse it back to health and then keep...
Right on on both accounts. If it's just a weekend or a few days, no big deal. If longer, I get those little pill baggies and put portions of food in...
Having any ammonia reading after adding livestock is not ok or normal. You probably added too much livestock too fast and now the bacteria need to...
Why are you second guessing the hobby at your age?
Looks cool, good luck with it.
I've had two of those wrasses, one jumped and one just died for no apparent reason. I also had a sixline jump. They are beautiful fish, but I think I...
That's awesome, do you guys have your own personal tanks?
