    Some Corals are dying off. Others are growing.

    I'm using reef crystals. In the process though of transitioning back from aqua vitro. Wasn't happy with all of the residual left in the mixing pale.

    How many f you run a uv light

    Would that be ten times more wattage or light intensity at a given bulb size. I guess my question is if I upgrade to a 100 w in place of a 10w. Would that then kill Protozoa.

    Excellent read. Thank you. I am using Seachem Phosgaurd. I do not see any information relating to the product preventing drops below .04. Do you know if this product complies? Can you recommend one that does?

Well about 3 months ago I started using seachem carbon. Now that I think about it. That's when the problems started. Has anyone ever had...

    These corals have been in the tanks for two years. I've never seen anything grazing. I do check the tank at night with a flashlight.
