Everyone should book mark this site: http://aquariumcoraldiseases.weebly.com/index.html

I would throw some Dr. Tims or Biospira in there to add some bacteria. The tank will cycle when you add livestock.

As far as fish goes start here: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+2124 Just about every one of those fish would be fine and some in multiples. The only one I would avoid is the catalina just because is needs much cooler temps than a reef and a 10g is tough to...

Did you hit up Joe for the private tour?

Can you run a 10g tank with that light and the hob filter? Absolutely, NikkiT did it for years. You just have to be really carefull what you put in the tank and make sure you are religious on a gallon a week water change. She ran is basically as a fish only with inverts. You might be able to...

Yup we carefully scrape if off the front and sides, I think covering the overflow is like a right of passage or something.

Welcome to the club, where did you get the LED upgrade for the 12g hood? I have been looking for one since nanotuners went away.

Take a look an anthias maybe? Many varieties in some amzing colors, not aggressive, reef safe, don't need sand, not prone to jump (yet all fish can jump) and they generally eat smaller pieces of food.

No more bryopsis and no more tanks leaking, I think you are going to have some fun with this build.

Yeah he built a frag tank for dnov99 that is stunning, but his customer service can be less than stellar, like way less than stellar.

Not even close to a candy, I would try and get him out. We had one that was all green that we suspected of getting a few fish. We had to pull the 45g apart to get him and it was a PIA. Not all pistols are safe.

Do you know what kind of pistol is it or what it looks like? Pistols can be annoying as all heck to get out as they can hide in the rock or in the sand. We have had to leave rocks in buckets overnight to get them out before.

Depends really on the pump and how much gunk is on it. If we have an algae outbreak or something along those lines maybe once a month. For normal maintenance probably one a quarter.

We have boiled pieces we have found on the beach and have not had an issue.

Which beach are you going to?

If it is just some algae and gunk then vinegar will work just fine. If it is really stubborn then you can look at magic clean from hydor or muriatic. I find with Vortechs that vinegar is just fine and you probably don't want to go too much more than that.

Yes Happy 4th to everyone, enjoy the day.

SPS do have feeder tentacles which is what you are witnessing. They can be quite powerful in their sting so just give it some room and it will be fine.

Everyone has a love hate relationship with hermits. They can be a great CUC but all you need is one to turn on you and boom you are in trouble. Problem is with so many species you never really know what you are going to get. I have always stuck with blue legged and scarlet reefs, but even...

You can always try the Hydor Magic Clean stuff which seams like a step between vinegar and muriatic acid.
