That's the "name" of the coral, not what he paid for his frag ;) You can google search the origin of the name if you are bored.
SPS tank = "actinics" (includes red and cyan) on at 9:30AM and starts at 15%. Increases to 50% over the course of 2 hours. Daylights on at 10:30AM,...
BRS or Spectrapure will work. You should be able to get a Spectrapure refurb cheaper than a new BRS. 4 Stage will be fine; get a good sediment filter...
Diatoms and hair algae come with any newly setup tank. No real way to get around it.
Sorry, I should have specified that the issue was they were from the same family. And Live Aquaria does state 125 for a Copperband, so I don't think...
Not to wanting to continue the off topic talk, but just pointing out that it would actually be a HUGE person, with a comparatively small chest...more...
My Lubbock's Wrasse does this all the time as well.
A smaller tang from the Ctenochaetus family would be fine as a permanent resident in a 72 I would think. Plenty keep them in 75's, and a 72BF is very...
I would add one more powerhead (doing 2 450s may be enough, but likely won't; you could try them and see how the flow is though). Otherwise, I...
Answers in RED above. I would look into a wrasse or two, a Blenny, a Goby, dwarf angel as you are thinking, etc.
Basically what Devin said. Get yourself a sponge filter (here is an example), driven by a small air pump and run that in your sump of your DT (if you...
I was just at my LFS overhearing some customers saying how their Volitans ate their Garibaldi! Given the options of the DT with the Lionfish, the...
+1 I have done this as well. Also, look into frozen packs made for nanos. The cubes are half the size of regular ones.
Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast would be another option. Usually more for SPS, but I imagine it would help out the whole tank.
My guess is that your tank does not have enough nutrients in it.
Congrats on the new fixture Cheryl! Looking forward to seeing how it looks after install.
Oh ok. I have no problem with DIY. Good to know though!
FYI - this is common with Fungia. They are called anthocauli. I don't know if other corals such as brains will do the same though. I haven't heard...
Thanks for the review! I may add one to my Evolve 8 now that I know for sure it will fit ;)
A skimmer will definitely help, especially with the increased bioload. I use an Eshopps PSK-75H on mine. There are also a few nano skimmers that will...
