+1 to this. When I set up my tank with aquacultured rock, I had no ammonia for 2 weeks (and thought I wasn't going to have a cycle due to the life...
Interesting method. Seems to make more sense than just straight cutting it, tissue and all.
He's paying the government for the ability to import the salt from Deutchland :-P
I've seen a video where Borneman just cuts a scoly into quarters with a wet saw, without even an iodine dip afterwords. I imagine a trachy would be...
More likely is that the "cleaner shrimp" was a camel shrimp. Lysmata species (cleaners) include the peppermints everyone loves, and camels can be...
Well, the ones I've seen are mostly under the plastic of the button itself, which doesn't seem to have any easy access to remove. Rarely do I see...
Well, different stations have different octane numbers. If Shell is blending 90 and 88, and Exxon is blending 89, then a Shell station can't really...
Wouldn't they then fall under false advertisement laws if they have anything showing the special additives at a station, or if they sell gasoline...
So am I. The way I understood it, the oil companies don't neccesarily have the same oil they dug out of the ground due to the piping and refining...

I love the BBC's idea of "news". I mean, it's definitely interesting stuff. The BBC is full of really unusual facts, and specific things you would...
Can you give numbers on you parameters? It's frequent that someone newer to the hobby says "they're alright" when they're really not.
Usually when a coral turns brown, it means it's used to stronger lighting. The brown color comes from more zooxanthellae in the tissue, as it's...
Frogspawn will catch random bits floating around. Mine grabs mysis all the time. I don't think they're equipped to grab phytoplankton.
Oh man, I totally agree lmao.... Sump? Overflow? Refugium? Behind a rock? Eaten by the CUC?
You do have a raw shrimp, or some other ammonia source, in the tank, right?
Magnesium and calcium affect alkalinity, which affects pH. Calcium and alkalinity are used by some of the algae that grow in the tank, particularly...
Well, just like with coralline, urchins can actually spread around bits of the algae and make the problem worse.

Not a lot eats bryopsis. Snails work well against a generic GHA, but bryopsis has a toxin that can cause corals to recede and keeps most herbivores...
