Go with the Leather (or option 3). :)
+1 Hard to tell for certain, but it's either GHA or bryopsis. Looks to me like you're just buying someone else's problems.
It depends on a couple of things- What exactly do you plan to keep, and is it a 4- or 6-bulb fixture? i.e., with softies and most LPS, a 4-bulb T5HO...
The label "bioassay formula" indicates that it's a laboratory grade salt mix, and to me at least, that would mean it's the best you can get. :) As...
Some species are reef-safe. You'll need to research that as well as adult size, diet, etc to find one you can properly care for.
Hmmm... The thread was started by someone who has not made another single post (since 2007!!), and revived by someone who has not yet made another...
LOL With higher quality bulbs like Giesemann or ATI, yes that would work.
No, I don't think a PC will produce enough PAR/PUR for SPS. Also, a T5 unit will be cheaper to operate in the long run as the bulbs are cheaper and...
Hmmm... that's interesting. Perhaps you just didn't have enough flow? With a completely bare tank, you should have no problems. I've done that myself...
That will work just fine. (just don't forget to add the extra salt). :)
+1 If your LFS doesn't keep it in stock, ask if they will order it for you. Mine has a large variety of frozen foods in single and mixed packs....
Yes, any container that holds water can be used as a sump, including the trickle filter. :)
The chemicals in test kits do get old and are the main reason for false positives. I would at least take a sample to the LFS and see what their...
IMOPE, dwarf angels can be very well behaved if well fed with the proper diet. I had 3 in a 55g mixed reef tank with no issues at all: a bicolor,...
+1 Minimum recommended tank size is 15g. Personally, I prefer to go larger. More space equals less stress on the fish. :)
For sand sifters and burrowing species, around 2 - 3 inches is fine.
Definitely replace it. You can only wash out the loose crud. What has soaked into the grains will forever be leaching into your water and causing...
Zero nutrients is a bit of a misnomer. As long as you are feeding something in the tank, you have nutrients; a reading of zero simply means that your...
To address the issue of cleaning your sand, the engineer goby is not a sand-sifter; it only digs burrows under the rocks. The gobies that do sift...
Brightness has nothing to do with proper spectrum. 6500K lighting is optimum for macroalgae. A lot of people use a twisty fluorescent bulb in a...
