Have had my moon favia for about a month now, and it has seemed to be doing okay, with a small noticeable amount of tissue growth. However, just...
Would this lighting system be overkill for the soft coral in my tank?
Currently have Powercompacts 2x65w10,000's, and 2x65 actinics.... I have a 75gallon and feel I need something a bit more stronger if I'm going to...
Bump for questions regarding Phytoplex. Dose or not? ;)
Thanks for the responses. What's your opinion on Kent's Phytoplex?
Just wondering if I should be dosing phytoplankton for my only 2 corals in my tank. I only have a moon favia, and a colt coral. They are roughly 2...
Any other recent additions to the tank, such as fish, inverts, or new coral? I would also run some carbon in your tank for a bit if you haven't...

May want to recheck your test results. pH of 8.6 is quite high.. Wouldn't even know what type of sea salt to get it to that level, and your Calcium...
I was under the impression that you weren't supposed to add any fish until the cycle was complete, or else the ammonia spike would most likely kill...
I've had my 75g tank up and running for 7 weeks now, with 65 lbs of live rock... all water parameters are in check, salinity is 1.024, pH is 8.0,...
Show me an ocean bottom without algae and I'll tell you that you've stumbled upon a Hollywood ocean set. Algae is going to grow, especially when...
