    frequent water changes

    assuming that you are monitoring all your nutrient levels and they stay in perfect check, do you think it would be more benefical to do muultiple 10-15% water changes a week? I know it would be time consuming and monotonous but when you think about it, the oceans currents bring fresh water on...

    stocking in 29g

    i have a flame angel and sixline wrasse in my 29gallon. Do you think it would be overstoking after adding a small clownfish to that? I would also have a full cleaning crew. In addition, do you think that the sixline will harass the small nemo? If so I would be open to trading out the sixline...

    Biospira

    what are your experiences with this? I was cycling my tank with live rock a few months ago and I added a bottle of this for fun and it cycled my tank in two days. I have also used the freshwater version when they used to refridgerate and it did the same thing. A lot of people knock it but I...

    upgrade to 40B

    As I stated in another post I am planning to eventually upgrade to a 40Breeder custom rimless. I have a few questions since I am still pretty new to the hobby and never had a sump. Would a vortech MP20 be enough flow through the tank to not need any other powerheads in there? What sized sump...

    in my 29g i have a very thin layer of white sand. I went to costa rica this summer and brought back some really nice brown sand in a gatorade bottle.

    more flow really?

    I just added a K2 in place of a Knano in my 29g. Now I have 2 K2's and the flow still doesnt seem like its enough! 1200gph! They are both in the top corners of my tank so they agitate the water surface well. Some parts of the tank are still very low flow, I may need to go K2 and K3 now. Or, I...

    buying coral from retailer on ebay

    im looking at a few frags on ebay from this online store (reefempire). All his bids are starting at 0.99 even for chalices, acans, high end stuff. Do people normally scoop up these corals last minute for what they are truly worth or do those retailers take huge hits on selling them for half of...

    ive got my eyes on a gorgeous pulsating pom pom xenia at a LFS but it has some green algae on the disc that I cant identify. If I dip it in something can I assure that this algae wont spread? What would you do, is it best to avoid the coral? Thanks, Chris

    zoo tentacles

    i upgraded my lighting a month ago to HQI and some of the skirt hairs extend out like as much as half an inch. Is this common? I mean, they look really healthy, they just have "hairier" skirts now. Is this due to the increase of light?

    macro algaes and plants

    is there anything besides mangroves that you can put in a reef tank that looks attractive and sucks up nitrates? Some guy on craigslist said he dives off of NY and posted some red plants that he found at about 35 feet. Any macro algae that you can put in your display that looks decent?

    Who watched the Machida/shogun fight last night? That was just about the most disgraceful judging I have ever seen. They should be ashamed of themselves.
