    Relevance of flow in SPS tank

I'm used to a 20x turnover or so in the zoa tanks, and am aware I need a lot more in the SPS tanks (I was thinking of shooting for 60x). Advice I've been given says to go with a sidewall mounted Gyre, a...

    Houston, we have a clown problem

    Seems my foray into SPS, in which I bought some semi-pricey corals, has hit a bump in the road. I initially thought my strawberry shortcake died from the base up due to water parameters. I was thinking the same for a green acro that just started dying this week. Until I saw one of my clown...
