AFAIK the only thing they will do is stir up the sand a little bit, they are filter feeders and won't do much except bury themselves in the sand and...
As long as the glass isn't tempered the only con IMO is that there's a very slight chance that the hole will get screwed up and crack the tank. Other...
I think the main reason to not have snails in the overflow is them clogging up your plumbing. The teeth could also catch other things to clog up the...
I do about 10% every week or two.
The smell doesn't bother me, I use straight vinegar for small cleaning projects, sometimes diluted purely to make up volume since 4 gallons of water...
I think you're on the right track. Most people put the return up and over the top of the overflow though there is no reason that I'm aware of that...
Just to add that regular Koralias are definitely not designed for use with a wavemaker, they do make a controllable Koralia, though it's much more...
When did you calibrate the probe last?
For some reason I need to dose a lot more alkalinity as well. As long as you're sure of your test kits just keep doing what you're doing IMO. I think...
Yeah, I do Mg only 100ppm per day. Some people have done larger jumps but I'm paranoid about it, and that's what BRS recommends so that's what I do....
I've never heard of a pulse injet bag and nothing came up on google. Maybe doublecheck the spelling or a link to what one actually is?
Using tap water and possibly leftovers from the anemone dying could definitely spike nitrates, however I don't know if I would trust those test...
Those are perfectly harmless detritus eaters/scavengers. They are actually beneficial to have in your tank, they'll cleanup little bits that fall...
I also think zoa's are the perfect starter coral, great color, reasonably priced usually, very hardy, not difficult to care for. My zoa's are the...
Do you know what type of corals you want to keep? That will determine what the best type of light will be for your tank. T5 high output lights are a...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but if you're intending to use only your return pump for all of the flow in the tank you are probably falling a little...
Just to add a link to an article discussing this type of info. Reverse Osmosis/Deionization Systems to Purify Tap Water for Reef Aquaria by Randy...
AFAIK acans are pretty adaptable to light, just start it low so you don't bleach it then put it wherever you want. They encrust over rocks to...
Nice corals. Watch that Acan though, they can be pretty aggressive if any other corals come close. :)
I would close the valve on your return pump at least half way and watch the water level in the tank closely after you turn the pump on, slowly open...
