I really like the rock work, good looking tank.
Yea, that doesn't look good at all. The only thing that I can suggest is try to give it an iodine dip using lugol's solution. It may help, but it can...
Coraline algae is different from the green film algae, the film algae will not turn to coraline. Given time and the proper conditions, the coraline...
I did understand why you wanted to do that too, but as Jason said, you need to do it the right way which can be difficult if your new (don't know if...
Looks like some bad aiptasia
The mouth does look too wide open, but I've never had that type of clam, what's it a dersea? Give it a couple of days and see if it gets any better....
It may be, I wouldn't worry too much at this point. GSP is one of the hardiest corals I know of and grows quickly. It should be fine. If you notice...
Well, everything else aside, one cube of mysis is way too much. As an example, I have a 55 with a yellow tang, two clowns, a yellow tailed damsel and...
Very nice tank, one of the better one's I've seen.
They will grow, frogspawns can adapt to a wide range of lighting conditions. If you want it to grow faster, just feed it. The zoas will live and...
I wouldn't add too many fish of any size or type at once as a sudden increase in the bio- load will cause another cycle. I would add the least...
If you an attach a 100 or 200 micron filter sock to the return, that should stop the bubbles. You can also add baffles to your sump to make a bubble...
Zoas are pretty tough, I wouldn't worry too much. Give them a week or two and keep them cleaned off. If after that they still aren't opening, then...
It's a good skimmer, but IMO it's overrated as far as tank size goes. The max on the HOB Remora Skimmer is 75 gal. I would try to get a skimmer that...
If you haven't already bought the K2, get a K3, much better flow for a 55 gallon.
No. Your livestock will be fine. I am curious as to why the filter sock didn't work, what size did you get?
You can't go wrong with zoas. Watch getting GSP, mushrooms and xenia. They seem like great first corals and they are, until they take over your tank....
We're going to need some more info. What exactly is your filter system? Where do you get your water from? How many fish, what types? How much do you...
If I were in that position, i would use some of the money you plan on purchasing live stock with and use it to get a good skimmer. It's much easier...
That's some specific criteria. The best thing I would suggest is a dwarf angel, they would be perfect too b/c it's not a reef tank. Coral Beauties...
