Salsalito25 is absolutely correct. Just leave it alone now; if it's not happy with the flow, it will move. May take a few days to fully acclimate...
Hi, and welcome to 3Reef! Looking good so far. :) FWIW, it's fairly common for a tank to not cycle when it's moved with established sand and rock....
You can add GAC and GFO for additional water purity. You may want to start with a small amount then slowly work your way up to the recommended amount...
If you're just going to start over, why not take m2434's advice on cleaning the rock and reuse it? Where did it come from in the beginning? How do...
Looks to me like the MJ may be a bit too small. Since you already have it, it won't hurt anything to try it, just don't be too disappointed if it...
Is the coral open with extended polyps? Were the branches near the base? Can you post pics? FWIW, that's how a lot of branching soft leathers...
Add the gph values for all pumps and powerheads, then divide by the total volume of water in your tank for the turnover rate. Your projected...

Sorry Bro, but that is a type of hydrozoan. Still just a filter-feeder, but from a different family. :)
If you still have livestock in there, your bacteria should not have died; also, I would question the validity of your ammonia reading- test kits do...
It's normal for a featherduster to be a little reclusive for a while in a new environment. Just make sure it's in a lower-flow area and give it more...
It's fairly common for a nem to hide under a rock then slowly acclimate itself to higher lighting than what it's used to. Just leave it alone and it...
Hi, and welcome to 3Reef!! :)
I believe a group of 3 is a bad idea with any fish; 6 or more is better for schools. With less than that, they may go through a 'pecking order' in...
+1 to Steve's post. Is that skunk cleaner shrimp or skunk clownfish? FWIW, shrimp, snails, etc are added to your CuC, not your stocking limit; that...
I've found that to be the case with most shrimp. :-/ As for the original question, certain species of mantis have been reported as having the...
Beautiful tank! Nice growth, too. :)
1) A HOB power filter is all you need for flow and filtration. 2) Frozen brine shrimp is all any SW fish needs. 3) A sand-sifting star, mandarin,...
If you're having algae issues, absolutely. I would only add a few detritivores/herbivores at a time, though-- I do not agree with the popular...
Having too little CuC can allow detritus buildup where it can be reached, but there will always be places where it can't in any tank. :)
