    Is my clam gaping?

    As a reference point, I have mine under a 6 bulb T5 fixture that is putting out 324 Watts. I had it sitting on rocks on the sandbed to acclimate it to the light and let it attach to the rock. I moved it up the rockwork a little bit this morning.

    corals disappearing

    I've got dibs on the Dwarf Angel to. I added my first open brain coral and within minutes the angel was pecking at it. I thought maybe it was just exploring the new tank inhabitant. I put a cover over the brain for a while thinking maybe the angle would get used it being in the tank. A...

    Is this dino's?

    Thanks for the input everyone. When I do lights out, it goes away, but once the lights come back on bubbles start to show up after a couple hours. I've read that dino's do that, but does cyano do that to? I've never noticed the snot strands get more than 1/4" long. I usually run the lights...

    Is this dino's?

    I'm 8 weeks into my tank. It was a pre-existing FOWLR that was obviously neglected by the previous owner. Tank was covered in Cyano when I picked it up. I replaced the sandbed when setting it back up. I've been through the diatom phase, which cleared up quickly and cyano showed up next...

    Coral with PO4 > 0 ppm

    Definitely driving for 0. I added phosban and it seems the algae that is along the glass, but lower than the sandbed surface is slowly going away! Thought I start with the following: Beginners Soft Coral Package - Quality Marine Life Think that would be ok?

    Coral with PO4 > 0 ppm

    Who has corals in a tank where the phosphate isn't exactly 0? Mine is somewhere between 0 and .5. If i add a softie, is it a goner? I'm running a skimmer, use premixed RO/DI water, bag of carbon and phosguard, and I rinse the frozen mysis shrimp in RO water and drain before adding it to the...

    Best Detritus Removal Method from Rocks

    What's the best way to remove detritus from your live rock? If I point a powerhead at the rocks and blow the detritus out of the rock, will a Skimmer get most of it out of the water column? Thanks!
