Does your puffer nibble on your corals?

No he seems ok I've got hermits as well and he hasn't had any of them yet I haven't bought any shrimps though not sure about them he tried with my feather dusters for the first day but got fed up now he is ok 

I must have got lucky with this one I could never part with him he's cool I would have to set up another tank just for him if he started eating everything lol

Hi,

Nice tank, stop using Bio Balls if you are starting as a reef tank now, bio balls are good for denitrification and redox BUT they are nitrate factories, your live rocks will do the same job so let the nature work

How deep is your tank, I think this light will be low for your tank.

Happy Reefing!

Hello everyone I've been following everyones posts for a few months trying to learn a few things about this great hobby of ours. I have had a fowlr for a year now and I feel ready for the big step to create a great reef like many of you guys have . Anyway this is what I have got so far I think it's a 100 gal with a dry wet sump with bio balls need some advice with the bio balls been reading some bad things about nitrate . I have a reef octopus protein skimmer which I still haven't managed to get to work properly no matter how much I adjust it . T5 lighting x4 80w 2 White 2 blue it's made by aqua world  any advice would be great xx

 

[Glen-cowling]

Yeah I have started to remove the bio balls daily a hand full at a time 

Someone has just noticed my starfish has six legs is this common 

That is totally normal. If a leg gets cut off two or three might grow back. Some starfish even tear themselves apart to reproduce (astrea starfish).
