    Pumps keep getting cloged and noisy, why?

    They will get clogged, but yours seems to be a little excessive. What is it clogged with? Pieces of algea,. I have never heard of a Hydro korlia clogging. That is a lot of flow for a 15g. Do you keep SPS or something? That is 43X turnover. Don't get me wrong flow is good, but I wonder if...

    LPS and air exposure

    The main thing is to gently shake them underwater before taking them out of the tank, to give the tenticles and polyps a moment to retract into the skeleton. Lifting a fully inflated LPS out of a tank will rip and tear the flesh because it is so heavy. So make sure you allow it to retract and...

    That is right. I will be recieving a culture of algea next week. I will start raising my own phytoplankton and also rotifers. This will get me ready for the next batch of eggs.
