Looking to do some restocking since tank seems to be on the up swing. I plan to get rid of the sole perc and bangai which leaves me with a hippo tang, yellow tang, flame angel and pseudochromis. I would like to add blue spot puffer or pakistan butterfly. I know it says caution for reef tanks...
Is this okay to feed my fish?

I am taking down my 10g QT and have the above available if anyone wants them. They are alive but not well. Red CAP has some yellow polyps in the middle, don't ask me how.
Just need some TLC and I no longer want them, need room for other coral. Pics to follow.
Went to Lowe's and Home depot to get some aggregate for a tank cover and fra g rack. I looked everywhere even lighting section. Finally asked 3 different people at each stofe. Apparently they no longer carry it.
So where can I get it? Saw a nice video where 1/2 holes you can slide 1/2 PVC up a...
I have a small amount cheato if anyone would like it.
Also, have 3 frags of Zoas. Not sure of type but was told they probably are fire and ice.
The frags are in my 10g and cheato bagged and in sump.
NOTE: All were in my DT tank in which I had slime algae or Dinos.
Just letting...
Always mark you sump level with tape, paint etc. I neglected to do this and my skimmer would not stop overflowing. Short story, sump water level was to high and once reduced the skimmer worked normal again.
Figured while its fresh in my mind as I have done this twice.
Be sure to flush all filters thoroughly.
Test water in a glass container if using a handheld TDS meter. Plastic seems to through off the readings.
I received this today. I want to start making water for a change this weekend. It comes with a faucet adapter but it's to big for my faucet but fits the one outside for my garden hose. What do I need to fit this on my kitchen sink? Pics of part to follow; have to load from phone.
Looking to get new kits and wondering what kits everyone uses. Not brand such as API, Salifert, etc.
I am thinking:
PH
Alk
Calcium
Ammonia
Anything else critical to test?
Woke up this morning and see my Blue Linkia munching away at one of my Bangaii Cardinals. Had the pair for almost 2 years. Third fish I lost in 2 months.
Tested the water and all params are in normal range except for Alk still about 14 and Nitrate is between 10 and 11 which is not high for...
I had to just vent/rant what have you. When I started this hobby I had a 55g with all HOB equipment and it was bad and then found this club. Shortly after I upgraded to 75g RR. The sump was small so no room for a fuge so I kept using the HOB fuge and the tank did well. I then obtained a bigger...
Considering my Dino issues. I am taking steps to rectify and am now considering an RO/DI unit.
I have a 72g DT and 2og sump. Sump is 1/2 full so let's say 10g; total water volume 82g rounded to 80g.
My question is how long would it take to switch over to RO/DI only using my ATO?
The reservoir...
Been sick for a few days and slowly noticed some bubble algae growing and today it looks bad. Some rock I can take out and clean others not. Also overflow is is bad. Any suggestions on how to remove it other than manual.
My son has an older Toshiba laptop, probably 5 or 6 years old easily. When the computer turns on it displays Toshiba and then displays Preparing Automatic Repair. Shortly after the screen goes blank. I have left it plugged in overnight and nothing. I can't seem to get into setup mode as I assume...
