    Salt Preference?

    Every tank is diffrent, some salts will work better then other in the same tank. I have tryed a few diffrent kinds & I started out with IO with great results but as my demand grew for trace elemints with adding more corals I found that oceanpure pro works best for me. My water levels have stayed...

    Reef Roids

    Ive been using it for awhile now & I like it, mostly because of its size. But once I run out I will be switching to feeding frenzy for one reason they list there ingredients where as reef roids do not. Its just nice to know whats going in your tank & what will benifit from it.

    goniopora receding (found a worm)

    Thanks for the reply, its not brown jelly I know that for sure. I had meant it started slowly then started to reced faster as time went on. We had moved it a couple times & now have found a spot where it seams happy & has slowed down receding. Dont think its lack of light because it started...

    Skimmers?

    I dont think you can over skim. I ran a bullet 3 ratted for 400g on a 60g tank for about a year with great results. I didn't run it on a timer, it ran 24-7. Now I have that same skimmer on my 230 & its great!!!

    switching from 20 k to 14k or 10k?

    You can keep clams under 20k, and personally, I think 20k's look better than 10k's. I agree, I had 10k & switched to 20k & really like it, softer on the eye's more pleasent to look at.
