Bulbs are such a personal choice. I would use ATI, Geissman or UVL. IMO a 50/50 daylight to actinic is too white. If you really want a nice blue...
That's what I was thinking. My tank will range from 78-79 degrees to about 75 at night and my sps don't have any ill effects. I too have had my...
That sucks to hear. I don't think the butterflys dying is strange at all, they are some of the harder fish to keep and are not known for being very...
I have always pronounced it as a "z," so "zen ia"
It depends on what your purpose it. Some people use returns as another means of water circulation in the tank so they have a bigger return, others...
You can probably get into sps too. Montiporas are easy to keep and are a good starter monti.
If it has a center brace, it's easy each length will be 36", however, I believe most 6" tanks have 2 braces, every two feet. I like LG's response,...
If you need to cut them, use a sharp knife or blade and kind of scrape the rock. It's not that hard to super glue them, put a big dollop, and place...
Montis do grow pretty quickly and that light should be fine. Post a pic of what you got.
Well, it could be the algae dying. I had some algae turn white when it died, but I've never had the film algae do that, that I know of. It could also...
You can feed them and that will help them grow faster, but don't feel obligated to do so. I rarely if ever feed mine and they are doing just fine....
Reading that pet peeve thread, particularly the part about pronouncing Cheato as "kay toe" not "cheeto." I never took latin, but my foreign language...
No it won't harm the live rock, however, you will need to keep it in the dark for a while, at least several weeks. I would just soak the rock in...
Biggest pet peeve as already stated, people who ask for advice knowing the answer, get the answer they don't like, then ignore it.
I will have to read through the article fully, but it is interesting. I would still however rather have the 30% removed then leave it in the tank....
make sure to use the [img] code. If you can't just directly upload them try using photobucket. It's free easy and fast.
I was always under this impression, that a skimmer only takes out organic compounds, not inorganic coumpounds like nitrate, metals, minerals etc....
I would just let them go for now. Transfering them to a smaller tank will just stress them out more. The quarantine tank is a good idea, but for you...
That does look like coraline. If you don't want it growing on your sand, use a finer grained sand. It shouldn't be able to grow on that.
First, don't worry about the nitrates right now, that level while high shouldn't affect the livestock too much. Second, don't do a water change, you...
