I wouldn't worry about directions too much, read them to get a general idea of how much you need, but don't kill yourself trying to get exactly the...
Unless their machine is old, you shouldn't really have an issue, so I guess it's something else.
I didn't see, but do you use RO/DI water? When I first used tap, I had the same problem. Now that I've used RO/DI, as you can see from my pic, my...
Here's a pic of my tank from the side, it's a little older, but it represents the clarity well. My tank is a standard 55, 4" long. [IMG]
Looks good so far. You may want to make sure that rock on the left is secured so it doesn't fall over at some point. Once you animals and our CUC,...
Are you just getting some additional live rock or starting over? As long as you have already cycled, I would suggest an acan lord if you can get one...
It sounds like you know what you have to do, but don't necessarily want to do it. I would sell all the livestock and keep the tank and equipment, or...
Cool pic. I have a burrowing conch, really cool to watch them move around and use their trunk to eat. It's a nice addition to add some diversity to...
Well, I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's a coral. Sorry I couldn't help you any more.
That's a good point.
It could also be a hitchhiker sps. If you can't post a pic, try drawing a picture of it. At least that should resolve whether it's aptasia or not.
To clarify, that's a leather coral (sometimes called a toadstool leather), not a mushroom coral. I had one and occasionally one part would not open...
Do you mean you raised the coral up from the bottom or you raised the Ca over a couple of days?
Another option would be to get a 60" fixture and hang it so it's centered. The ends will be a little dark,but you can keep low light corals there.
Do you have a link? For a 6ft tank, Jason's right, you will want 3 x 250w MH, I would go with double ended (HQI) rather then single ended, but that...
Most acans really don't have a marketing name. Zoas and Chalices is where that comes into play a lot. They are Acan lords, so call them that.
It is hard to tell b/c of the blurriness of the pics, but it looks like a montipora digitata. Also, it looks like you have some bad aptasia.
I don't like CC and many others don't either. Some people use it with success, but IMO, it's cons out weight any benefit, I would just go with sand....
I have about the most eclectic taste in music you can have. I like country (not real country but pop country), rock, alt rock, punk rock, pop rock,...
It won't necessarily hurt anything, but your colors will fade a bit and become light and less pronounced, aka bleaching. If you can, run four, but I...
