I would say yes for the fact that a water change adds vital trace elements such as iodine, strontium, boron, potassium and molybdenum. These elements...
That light is not really good for a reef tank. I would recommend a 6 bulb T5 fixture of 2x250w MH lights. Either one will be real good for that sized...
Upload the pics to photobucket or something along those lines, then just copy and paste the url.
The problem with the question your asking is that each building is built differently. Some may have wooden, standard floors, while others may have...
The problem with buying "precured live rock" which is what I think you want is that a) as you mentioned, you usually get some hitch hikers, and not...
We kind of need a pic as we need to know what kind of algae it is before giving advice on what to do. It sounds like cyno to me, but I could easily...
Most any glass lid or even acrylic lid will have a negligible effect on the light penetrating to the tank. I wouldn't worry about, as you said, if...
I started my tank tank with tap water and noticed very tiny particles floating around the tank. At first I thought they were micro bubbles from my...
How bad is it? If you have a lot of larger particles, you could consider a filter sock, something along the 100 micron range. Do you use RO/DI water?
It's perfect opportunity. Go for it, you will spend a few hundred, but in the long run, it will be easier to keep then a 20 gal tank. Just get...
The snails won't eat it. Do you have a picture of it? What you need to do is star reducing your feedings and increase water changes to get the...
It sounds like it is dying. A 1" astrea is pretty big. I have had a bunch die in this manner. They fall off the glass, and won't stick to anything...
If the rock was never dried out, you may not get any cycle, or just see some nitrite and not ammonia. But be aware that if you have no livestock in...
Mine was very peaceful, but he jumped eventually, so watch out for that. Make sure to have a lid on the tank of some sort.
I agree with the tank mates and water parameters, but they also tend to jump if they just dont' like the tank. For example, if there isn't enough...
Just keep an eye on him and make sure to have a cover. They will jump, especially if they are being harrassed or don't like where their at.
Do you have any pics?
I would bleach the rock then cycle it again, then add it to your tank. That way you know exactly what's going into your tank.
We're going to need more information such as tan size (dimensions), what coral you have and/or what coral you plan on keeping.
It does look a lot better, just keep an eye on it because your not out of the woods yet. If you continue to feed it, that should help it recover...
