+2 Exactly, although I have seen newbies that were so confused about dosing that they thought it was a necessity for all SW tanks, including FO....
+1, as long as he uses a good reef-grade salt mix...
I don't think it's a matter of anyone hating T8s, it's more of an issue with them not being the most efficient solution for reef tank lighting-...
A lot of gobies aren't all that active. Many spend most of their time in burrows or caves or resting on the sandbed. I wouldn't consider 3 inches...
Exactly. Not that many decades ago, it was recommended that we spawn algae in our systems for nutrient export, and you bought a small pouch of algae...
Agreed. possibly Actaeodes tomentosus....
Blabberfingers! LOL <j/k> Congratulations! :)
Green or blue reef chromis are active swimmers that like open space and are a lot less aggressive than damsels.
That's an excellent start. If they were sundials, they would be on the zoas. You will only see the snails on them at night; however, since they only...
Well I'd certainly hate to lead someone the wrong direction, especially since sundials are harmful and collonista are not, so I'll be perfectly...

First, relax and take a deep breath. While we like to keep our nitrate lower, 20 is really not harmful to your livestock. To get the nitrate lower,...
+1... same here. I personally consider coralline as another nuisance algae. It competes with stony corals for calcium, prefers to grow on glass...
Well, there goes that secret! Gee, thanks John... :laugh5: P.S. Works GREAT! :)
It would be either a baby perc or ocellaris. Both are suitable for a 20g.
FTR, I had a flame, bicolor, and coral beauty together in a 55g and they paid no mind to each other. I believe the more space they have, the more...
I would suspect the tiger barbs first. They are notorious for nipping and harassing less aggressive tankmates, despite the difference in size....
