No the white spots do not need be present. Marine Ich spends a lot of its life cycle in the substrate. The fish not eating and scratching are classic...
It looks really good Zoanthids21, the corals all look very healthy. Great job. ;D
Thank you John ;D I love them, they just do such a good job keeping down the film algaes on the rock work. EDIT: Ahhhhh not red bugs :-(...
If this is the standard rectangle shaped tank and you do not want to build a sump you could do a fuge like a CPR and add a Tunze 9002 skimmer. It is...
The tank should remain fallow (without fish) for 60 days. Sometimes raising the temperature of the tank will speed up the life cycle, other than that...
Are you referring to Amphipods??? :)
Tank looks great. What kind of fish are you thinking of adding ? Something that compliements the LR coloration and does not destroy all the...
Well I have been watching the Red bugs for about a little over a week, they have not increased in numbers nor spread to other corals. I do not have...

Here is the link for zoanthids ID. It is a pretty one. CoralPedia.com! :: The definitive repository for named Corals!
That is interesting. To think that sea urchin teeth hold the secret to development of sharper human tools is very interesting indeed. :)
As the water evaporates the specific gravity value increases, the water becomes more concentrated. To maintain the SG within the ideal range you need...
IME catsharks as they get larger they begin to swim incessantly in circles, in all but very large tanks, greater than 200 + gallons. I believe...
If you keep up the water changes no you do not have to dose. As the clam gets larger and if the tank develops a lot of corailline algae than you may...
