    Anyone use this?

    royal gramma made it!!!

    That doesn't sound like a sad story to me, no injuries, aside from the car itself. Hopefully the accident was the other guys' fault and insurance...

    Long-fin fairy wrasse MIA

    It's possible a crab got him, or he died of old age. There are lots of potential reasons why you can't find him. Unfortunately I don't think there's...

    Newbee here with $1000 to spend. What should I buy?

    A few questions regarding powerheads

    Calcium and Alk Question

    I personally aim for 2.8-3.6 meq/l alk and 400-450 calcium. You are on the low end of what is acceptable for SPS though. Once you get down to 2.1...

    Calcium Chloride in Ice melt

    3' Waterfall (Beneficial or not?) and other ?

    3' Waterfall (Beneficial or not?) and other ?

    phosphate reactor?

    Sump size

    If that's all you can fit then that's all you can fit. Also, I personally think even 400gph through a 5 gallon sump is way too much, I would look...

    Alkalinity question...
