    recession

    I would also suggests if you have a good skimmer try dosing Vodka it works really well on SPS faily fast too.Clears water quickly but do your homework before dosing there are many articles on it.Carbon would help too.See if you can get your hands on some Roxs its the best carbon on the market.

    Powder Blue HLLE

    This is the Bible on having healthy tangs that will never get HLLE. Fish like Tangs, Surgeonfish, Rabbitfish, etc. fall into this category. Land animals like cows, rabbits, horses, and human vegans are in this category! Would you feed your rabbit hamburger? They are fish that live primarily on...

    Water Chemistry

    How often do you change your Fluval polishing pads.The can collect alot of crap and turn into nitrates after a week or so.Any media that is collects debris needs to be cleaned frequently.

    How often do you top off?

    As anyone knows you should keep the level consistant as possible so the Salinity does not fluctuate too much.I think everyone who has a reef tank should have an auto top off system.I think they not only save you the hassle of adding water by hand everyday but keep your levels in check.I like...

    Remote Deep Sand Beds

    Sorry I didn't get back to you agent.What I do if I start seeing more algae in my tank than usual it means I might have higher nitrates so I test and 9 out of 10 times that is correct. I keep a few spare buckets with clean sand on hand and exchange them out.Typically I think you get anywhere...

    BB or SB

    To tell you the truth its personal taste.I took the sand out of my tank to BB and it is so much easier to maintain.I get less algae breakouts.I put a RDSB that I can change out when it get exhausted and yet don't have sand blowing around my tank.I do like the look of sand as it also can house...

    New MH Bulbs

    No but let me make one suggestions and I think many others would agree when first changing out your bulbs .I would cut back on the number of hours so you don't shock your corals .I have always have done this and never had a coral bleach on me.Good Luck
