Hi, I have an 18G via aqua tank and I want to setup a refugium using an aqua clear 500 power filter. The picture below shows a setup that someone did which I want to duplicate. 1. How deep of a sand bed should I have in my refugium? 2. What kind of macro algae should I get that has the...

I had bought the fish from a reputable fish store that only specializes in salt water aquariums. I had spent about an hour in the store observing the fish and a few other types of clowns before purchasing him. I even had them feed it before purchasing. As for the scratching it has stoped doing...

Can I use kalk in a tank as small as 18G? My alk tends to be high and my ph low around 7.9-8.1

thanks for the helpful advice. I think he plans on having about 2/3 of tank filled with LR. If he just uses PC's without the metal halides how much more wattage would he need in addition to the 2x96? I thought it was supposed to be around 4 watts to a gallon, well this is what the LFS says.

I don't have an anemone yet, though I did upload a picture of one that I had in my previous 45 gallon reef tank. I've had the anemone for about 3 years before I moved and sold it. My friend that has it now says it has gotton really big.

My tank has been setup now for 3 months.

I recently just added this clown fish to my tank. My first fish since my cycle finished. I don't know what kind of clown fish it is? I've had him now for 2 days and last night I noticed that the clownfish appeared to be scratching his face against my LR. In a quick motion he would rub himself...
