+1 to this, was kinda my point when mentioning the nitrates.
Up at the top navigation bar, there's a couple buttons for different styles next to the "Ads" link. And my title has changed every 50 for quite a...
It's definitely a good idea to talk to the architect. This principle is used when building houses to save on energy costs, I'm just not sure that the...
It's a risk, but a relatively small one. Pistols and cleaners occupy different niches on the reef, and the cleaner likely won't ever hang out at the...
If it's been a decently long time since the last molt, a bit of iodine could help speed up the process.
Shrimps have bad molts. It's just a fact of life. If anything there's anything to guess, I might posit that more frequent molts might make it easier...
1 Gallon of each for $25 is likely somewhere around the same price as buying bulk supplies, depending on the ppm you get in their solution....
NT was iffy because of that ordeal a little while back. Otherwise, I dunno.

You could also cut the stand and add a sump, if the door opening is an issue. I think that's what you mean about not being able to fit it, anyway....
They're halfway across the tank from each other. One is up in the top left, the other two that are affected are bottom-middle. That would be about...
If there's sufficient water in the sump, or you feel comfortable adding to the length of the pipes on a premade, you might be able to do a HOB, and...
Jeez, what luck. RTN on a couple acans, in just 3 days...
No silicone. Order some Weld-On #4, use the instructions here, and practice beforehand. Sorry for non-3Reef link, but I don't know of a thread here...
I'm going to get test results in a minute, but here's a picture in the mean time. It was fine as recently as 3 days ago, fully open. Now, there's...
Acrylic is acrylic, but when it comes to bullnose and other rounded tanks, you're talking about a delicate process of heating and bending the acrylic...
NO3 is nitrate. That should be lowered with a water change; bacteria don't break all of it down fast enough. You cycle is finished if NO2 and NH3/4...
Midnight, alk. Noon, cal. The alk dosing at midnight can help alleviate the nighttime pH swing if you don't have a fuge keeping it steady. You...
If you do hypo, don't do any medication. Most will have their potency affected by the change in salinity.
