460nm is the "Actinic Blue" type bulb. It'll be pure blue if you don't have a 10k with it.
The idea is to not remove ammonia/nitrites while they're still being processed by the bacteria, and thus while the colonies are still growing in size.
Do a water change, and add a bit of livestock, after nitrites fall. Don't wait until after nitrates go down.
What I did was add the numbers given for protein, fat, and fiber, and use that as the total. For example, for SBB: Ingredients: Mysis Shrimp...
Awesome contest idea! And this is an even better idea! ;D
Now that you posted the package, I want you to notice something (because I sure did). They mention that the values given are "from dry weight". So,...
I said torch because it seems to have dome-shaped tips, but hammer since it has shorter tentacles than a torch. They definitely come in rose colors,...
Euphyllia is the genus of torches, frogspawn, hammer, and others. It looks to be a hammer or torch.
Isn't PE mysis a freshwater shrimp?

It usually happens over a few hours. It usually takes a decent bit of time for it to show a significant difference.
Do you think that corals consider whether their algae are being mistreated when they get booted for being too effective at making food? How about...
It's a good food. No binders like Ocean Nutrition and many others, so you don't need to rinse. I use H2OLife now, since they sell in larger packs,...
For low pH, I would try running the airline from your skimmer outside, and see if it rises. usually, these issues can be attributed to CO2 buildup in...
Every tank needs oxygen. Fish breathe it. Surface agitation lets gas exchange happen. It pretty much lets the levels of dissolved gasses in the tank...
Looking good so far, I'm interested to see this later on. Just wondering, are the holes right above the wood from the stand (corners), or is it just...
I'm going to guess you're experiencing dieoff from organisms that can't survive in your current tank environment; sponges, tunicates, and quite a few...
