That's what I used. Worked fine so far.
From your avatar picture, it looks like you have a lot of GHA. That usually means you have higher levels of nitrates and phosphates, which usually...
I use a HOB overflow out of necessity. I do maintain it regularly and check for air bubbles every day. It is a hassle to get the bubbles out. I...
Before I make a decision, how much live rock do you have? What's in the refugium? What type of skimmer? What's it rated at? How big are the tangs?
This may be a stupid question, but where do you get needles to inject the kalk paste?
Everything you have described is perfectly normal. It's good to wash the sand a few times, but you will never get it all. After you had the water or...
The "best" test kits are debatable, but Elos are known by many to be the most accurate and highest quality. I believe a Ca test kit is around $30.
I would buy aquacultured any time I could, for any sort of livestock. They are generally more hardy and there is no impact on the reefs in our...
Here's a shot of a zoa eating nudibranch. I took the picture and 3reef can use it for whatever. [IMG]
I had one of the older versions, with a big old gull wing reflector. It worked pretty good over my 55. I have since upgraded since I have started to...
The nitrates will eventually build up resulting in algae blooms and poor coral health. So an RO (even if no DI) would be much better. As for how...
Quite possibly, but it also could easily be a torch or hammer, it's hard to tell from the picture. What size tank do you have? Lighting? What other...
I don't think it's a question of possible, it's a question of intensity. I believe the stock 24 gallon aquapod only has 2 32 watt PCs. IMO, that is...
Looks much better, nice to see that you're taking it slow.
I fully agree about the tang, sounds like a Hippo Tang which if not already outgrow that tank very quickly. To the clam issue, a pic will really...
It's only "bad" if left out for a while. It won't have any material impact if taken out for a little bit. It is much easier to aquascape when you can...
I have a yellow watchman goby and when he sifts, the sand just falls back down immediately, and I have some pretty serious flow. If it hadn't been...
I don't understand, does the goby sift so much that it clouds the water? I've never heard of that before. How much flow do you have?
I just went to the lfs yesterday and picked up my birthday present to myself. I got a really nice open brain, the color is a little more red then in...
T5s really come down to a matter of preference. It is true that most UVL T5 bulbs have lower par than other bulbs, but they do have very high quality...
