    Acropower

    I was dosing this for a while, and my acros looked great. Unfortunately is spiked my phosphates as well so just be careful with that. I stopped dosing until I get my phosphates under control. I think it is a good product, but just keep an eye on your phosphates.

    That is the gold standard out there along with Tuscan whole milk and the gold plated electrical socket.

    a new 90

    Whenever you add fresh water to live rock or live sand it ceases to be live anymore. Your rock needs to be recycled and I would hold off on the sand until you get some saltwater into your tank if you want to keep it live. If you can run your RODI right into the tank and just fill it up, then...

    longfin fairy wrasse ok for my tank?

    Looks like my Ipad pulled a bit of an auto correct on me, meant to type mckoskers on there. Looking back, it is the whip fin fairy wrasse that is super aggressive, but I still think the long fin would be too much for your tank and for your very peaceful inhabitants. The flashers tend to be...

    longfin fairy wrasse ok for my tank?

    No it would not be. They are one of, if not the most aggressive of the wrasses. Look at a makos keeps or carpenters flasher. The wetmoralla wrasses would also be appropriate though they are very different from flashers.

    Living with Ich. - Who's doing it?

    We have had it in our display pretty much since we set it up. As long as I keep on the uv bulb changes and keep feeding good food regularly, they shake it off. When we added our black tang back this summer, within a day it was covered in ich but it went away and now months later the fish has...

    Help new fish

    They are cryptic fish so I am not surprised he is hiding. What was he eating at the fish store? Did you get a tank raised one or wild? How big is it? Live food and feeding at night are good suggestions above.

    New to reef tanks

    First off welcome. Secondly, very good advice to meet a fellow reefer. If that is not possible, IMO the best thing to do is visualize what you want your tank to look like in the future (full reef, fish only, what kind of corals, what kind of fish, etc.) and build it out from there. For...

    Hanna meters

    When it comes out I think it would be worth it as well. I will see if I can dig up more info on it tonight as reef builders is blocked here.

    Hanna meters

    There was a report on reef builders towards the end of last year for such a device. It would be seneye like, but would constantly test for alk, nitrate, calc, etc etc etc. However, I have seen nothing on it since it was mentioned there and the price was going to be pretty high (IIRC like 600$...

    Shrimp & Goby pair question

    I meant I use a glass to scoop them out of the container and put that down low and let them swim out. I have lost a pistol to an overzealous fish, so make sure you release them low.

    Shrimp & Goby pair question

    You can try and use a cup or something to put them together but it may or may not work. Our have become seperated in the past and you just hope they find each other. Even in our 205g they seem to find each other.

    Mike's 315 Gallon Build

    Dr. Gs is a frozen food and they also have some fish eggs that are new that I have not tried. I bought it at AO and AF in the past. I talked to Trop and they tried to order it but got zero response from the company.
