Based on the corals you have right now, none of them require intense lighting! Granted, you really can't have enough light(wattage) as i've seen...
Hi clammer! Welcome to 3reef! How did you hear about us? Work on your signature to let us know what you have for tank set-up as well as...
Red=Lipped Blenny!!!followed by Astrea and Cerith snails.
Ditto with AMCARRIG-Kent's turbo strontium.
Durasa and Squamosa clams like sandy bottoms whereas Maxima and Crocea prefer rocky areas with which to adhere to.
Definitely do longitudinal fussion(mushrooms)! And with the proper water parameters etc., mushrooms are able to reproduce frequently.
I'd lose the bubbles, add more live sand and live rock. Invest in a protein skimmer and possibly a refugium. If you plan on having corals or...
220 gallon in wall tank with 400w(12000k)mh lights accented with actinic pc's. Calcium reactor+chiller and a large AquaC EV skimmer with less live...
I would go with metal halides. Then you will definitely be able to keep sps's without them turning brown in color. You can also keep Maxima's and...

I use it in my phosphate reactor changing it often. However I don't use it all the time.
Does anyone use the wave2k device instead of powerheads, or know someone who does? Does anyone know what it is? It seems like an awesome invention...
Yes you want to get the substrate in your tank asap! A deep sand bed of atleast 4" is ideal for you. Get some sand from your local pet shop that is...
The weird thing is that people are keeping reef tanks without a protein skimmer. Delbeek and Sprung have written about skimming and downplayed the...
