The only disadvantage I can think of is what you have already alluded to. If not enough nutrients in the water, the macroalgae your using can die,...
Some easy sps are montipora, stylophora, pocciliapora, psmmacora. I would go with cheaper frags so if they die, your not out a lot.
You can go with either a 14K or 20K depends upon your taste.
Have you ever used a copper medication in that tank?
I was going to say acans, but they don't like heavy flow. There aren't manner lower light corals that would be good in high flow. Most lps would be...
I had pretty good success with them until my tank semi crashed. They have very high metabolisms and should be fed small meals 3x a day. Many people...
Two 150s will be fine for a 55. If you want to save some money on lighting, do a retro fit kit. What about a skimmer too, is that planned? Anemone do...
The rotating thing should be good. You don't want them blasted constantly. You should try to achieve some random flow if possible.
I don't have much experience with marine paint, but there paints specifically made for marine applications, such as boats, docks etc. I would guess...
That's not really a lot of flow for sps. As far as lights go, you should be fine. I would start them in the middle some place and see how they do....
It will most likely eventually eat any shrimp you have. It could also go after the crabs, possible the snails, but I think that is less likely. Could...
No, you don't have to run actinics. I am not nearly as against using them as Tangster, but remember that the sun is only about 6500K on average and...
Agreed, doesn't matter.
I'm surprised you haven't lost power yet. Your optimisim will quickly dissipate once your power goes out and your livestock starts suffering. Weather...
You probably don't have to do anything to ensure they will remain alive. They can scavenge the rock for a few week and hopefully reproduce. I...
I try and for the most part maintain my salinity at 1.026, natural sea water.
Once your tank is cycled, i only test nitrate, ammonia and nitrite when there is a problem, as you seem to be having. It sounds like it may be your...
Keep it simple, don't use the gold fish, bad idea. They will die, and 12 fish is way too many to cycle a tank, you only need one, and should only use...
The last pic looks more like some sort of an anemone then zoas or palys, mainly b/c of the base and the bulbs on the end of the tentacles.
You've opened up a debate that will never be settled. What I would do is determine what type of corals you want to keep, do you foresee heat issues?...
