    Tank Cleaning

    I know everyone is going to scream when they read this:) , but I did this for many years when I had my last SWT. Fill the kitchen sink with water and add about a cup or so bleach. Let them soak tell they are clean, about fifteen minutes. Then rinse for a very long time, use a brush if you...

    live plants

    Hello all who read this. I have a question I can't seem to find an answer for by searching. How do you tell when plants go toxic? I keep finding references about this plant won't go toxic or this one will. Is there a good reference to read about this?

    Montipora

    Everyone thank you so much for your input, I think I have enough information to make the decision that I am not experienced enough yet, however, I do intend eventually to add them to my tank. Or even, perhaps start another small tank down the road just for them!! Anyhow, I certainly appreciate...

    Montipora

    Thank you so much. I am very relieved to hear that, I am quite attached to the corals that I have and would hate to have to get rid of any of them. I think all is well in my tank. I appreciate your contribution to the subject.

    Montipora

    Rob, How close do you have these from each other? Also, are they in the flow of water from the same powerhead? I was thinking maybe if I kept the Montipora on one side only of the tank so it was only in the flow of one powerhead it might not be as bad? I can't find a legible site on...

    Montipora

    I want to combine Montipora in my 120g reef tank with soft corals. There is lots of room still available in the tank. I am very much in awe with these corals. Do you believe this will be okay, and if so how much space do I need to leave between?

    soft coral vs sps

    Would that be like star polyps and yellow polyps? If so, then I already have mixed with soft corals. I haven't noticed any problems. Is there something I should look for?

    Water Conditions

    Clint. I forgot to tell you that my tank does look very healthy and there is no indication at all of anything wrong. I just was not sure why my pH & Alk stayed the same all the time. Do you have any ideas? I raised the temp to 79, I will raise another degree in a couple of days. Could use...
