Yea, what you are doing seems fine. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Good luck
6 bulbs is not too much for a 55, I have four and have a wide variety of corals and inverts under them, but 6 will even expand the possibilites more....
I have actually been debating this same thing. I also have 55 right now and will eventually upgrade to a 75 or 90. I like my 55, Im not a huge fish...
I agree with this, they are a lower/moderate light coral and with metal halides they will do fine on the bottom
I actually just used a dropper from my garlicExtreme. I put a maybe 2 or three drops onto the food and did it for about 5 days. In my case the popeye...
way to go, unfortunately all of the employees who work in lfs around my area know what they are doing.
Honestly, I had an instant ocean hydrometer and it wasn't that bad. I now have a refractometer and I had about the same readings as with the...
I'm from west chester, I also know another person is from the west chester area as well as in Wilmington DE
Instead of treating the entire tank, what you can do is soak the food in it. I added a few drops to the food before feeding. I used it to cure...
I believe the 1/2 actually means grade 1 or 2. The grade refers to the use it was designed for. Grade 1 is general use and grade 2 give greater...

Looks really good so far, could you put up a full tank pic?
I would also recommend UVL bulbs, I bought mine from tangster, a sponser. I use two white actinics and two super actinics, so if you choose to use...
Agreed, it usually means too many nutrients in the water. I've had this problem before, still do, but it's much better. I've cut back on feedings,...
This usually just means 1 reflector. The best fixtures have individual reflectors for each bulb.
I have the same fixture over a 55 and it works great. I have everything from a leather to a clam. Obviously with some things, such as a clam,...
I wouldn't worry about them too much at this point. It could be a snail or hermit crawled across them or ran into them. When I moved mine, they were...
If you have the money and want a really cool wrasee, try a flame wrasse, A bird wrasse is cool too, but I don't think they are reef safe
can't believe you have it in a dorm room, how are you going to move out?
Is that supposed to mean it's too long or too short? i have ever only acclimated for about 1/2 hour to about 40min. Particularly for fish, I feel any...
