"Easy beginner" soft corals, like mushrooms, zoanthids and some leathers, can not only tolerate the minor parameter swings in a newly cycled tank,...
Detritus collects in the cracks and crevices in the rocks as well as in the sand. You can use a turkey baster to clean your rockwork, and if you...
Good readings on your nutrient levels are false-- the algae is feeding on the nitrate and phosphate, just like the bacteria feeds on ammonia and...
Point well taken. :) As for cycle-booster additives, the only one I would recommend is Microbacter7. Several long-time reefers here on 3Reef swear...
How long ago did you restart your tank? Was the new rock dry or live? Do you have any other livestock in the tank? Did you test your water before...
Yes, cured live rock is cycled. That said, it's still not a good idea to place cured LR in your tank and start stocking immediately on the...

Yes, the larger they grow, the more calcium they will use.
Any 36" 4-bulb T5 fixture will work, but like anything else, you get what you pay for. You'll need to look at additional features while comparing...
You'll definitely want T5s. You get more PAR for SPS corals and a larger selection of bulbs, and they're cheaper and last longer than PC. T8s just...
Very nice additions... welcome back to the hobby. :) Love your planted FW Angel tank too, BTW.
Osmotic Shock Treatment should not affect the bacteria as long as the salinity is lowered slowly over a few days, then raised slowly back to normal...
Perhaps I should read that book. :D I tried the lion/puffer/trigger combo once-- One day when I came home from work, the puffer was missing, the...
LOL! Actually, no... they swim around in a normal manner, going about their business. If a fish is swimming frantically back and forth against the...
