I think I set my skimmer to be too aggressive. That might be the issue. I add Kent Coral-Vite mineral supplements about 2 or 3 times a week. Fish, inverts and corals are really healthy. I haven't heard cheato go sexual so I actually wouldn't worry about that. :D

You might be right. My nitrate was between 0 or 5ppm(hard to read the test) before I added the cheato. I have a 29gal with a 20 gal refugium. The light bulb might not be intense enough for the cheato. I'll try to increase light hours a little bit more.

I'm using a 6400K 20W light bulb(very white color) and about 8 hours a day. Hours are too short? What about the light bulb? Should I get a 50/50...

Hi, My cheato in refugium won't grow. I bought them a month ago and it's still the same. What should I do? Add calcium?

Well, I'm planning on adding more sand to my tank. I might get aragonite dead sand. I'm not sure it's safe or not.

Is it OK to add dead sand into a 10 month old reef tank? Would it cause problems? Thanks!

If I add a hang-on refugium to my tank, should I still keep my canister filter? Thanks.

Bought 2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimps last week. One molted the first day i put it into my FOWLR and second one molted the fourth day. Is this good or bad? This might be a stupid question. Thanks all.

""The rock wont die but any algae growing on the rock would probably suffer greatly at that low light level. The only way to kill live rock is to leave it out of the water for prolonged periods of time so all the micro orginisiums on and in the rock die.''' How long if you leave it out before...

I have a pair of P. clowns and 3 damsels. All of them eating very well except one clown. He wont eat. I gave them flake food. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Should i get rid of them? Are they bad for the tank? If yes, how to get rid of them? Thanks. All the fish are still doing very good.

Thanks guys! I can't take pics of them. They are too small. Too many of them. It seems like they are "floating" on the walls or they vibrate because of the movement of the water. They can easily be scraped off. Thanks again guys...... And Mike, I'm planning on getting a Coralife PC for my...

There are some white spots or egg-like thingy sticking on the aquarium walls and NOT on the fish. What are those? Good or bad? If bad, what should I do? The fish tank has been up for 6 weeks and i got some damsels in there about a week ago and they look healthy.
