So do I, but not all tanks go through a cyno stage. If you want to keep your sand prestine, you can just siphon some out and replace it when you do a...
Yea, I ordered Thursday and the website said it would ship on Monday and they did, got a confirmation email last night.
That's just film algae, everyone gets it, it's no big deal. If you really want to keep it at bay, scrape it off with a scraper, or you can use a mag...
I ordered some new snails to supplement my dwindling CUC. I checked my lfs for prices and variety and they were pretty expensive, $2 for a snail. I...
Why not just partition the 20 gal? My sump is a 20 gal long and I have it partitioned into 3 sections. The drain with my skimmer, the refugium and...
It doesn't matter that much, just make sure it's more than the pump you get, the pump really decides what the GPH will be. You could get an 800gph...
A nudibranch was my first thought too, also they look like clove polyps.
The best advice is "snug." You can always just try experimenting, see if it does anything. Start tight and loosen a little as you go.

In order to get a positive Id, we really need a picture, it could be a type of dendro or it could be a type of anemone.
Could be lack of oxygen, but when that's the case, the fish usually are gasping at the surface. It sounds like you introduced some sort of bacterial...
I was thinking bad frags or it didn't like the transport from the lfs to your house. I would be happy, usually people want to kill it before it takes...
Short answer: Nothing Disclaimer: It's so hard to say this MH system = this T5 system. If you have good reflectors, bulbs and ballasts on a T5...
I don't have experience with MH lighting, so you may want to disregard my input, but I had a purple monti digitata under a 4x54w T5 HO fixture with a...

In most households, if your using a 120 volt line, the breaker is usually 15 amps, but it can be higher or lower.
