It's grown quite a lot in the last few months that we've had it and developed at least 2-3 new branches. It seems like its moved a bit today and is exposing the sides of its branches today which I've never seen before, is this normal? Does it look healthy to you guys?

Found this, it's still a little over my head (it's been a long time since I took any science classes) but I get the idea behind what causes precipitate now and that makes me feel more in control. Also I will start adding my supplements separately now instead of putting them all in my top off...

Ok so I got a new test kit Red Sea Pro today and my mag level is 1500, so I'm glad I hadn't yet started replacing anything drastically, I was too afraid to make big moves. So my levels are 1.024 SG Calcium 440 Mag 1500 Carbonate hardiness 7 degrees pH 8.2 phos 0.25 nitrate 10 Corals have been...

Hi, I jumped into the deep end and went from having no corals to having a tank full :-) )Mostly softies but a frogspawn too). I am now testing daily and have also got replacement calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. My question is how slow is considered slow to add these replacements to the...

No, it went down a little to 1.0235. I was thinking that the difference was maybe what stressed the fish. Maybe it was something I introduced like you said though. I am using a brand new plastic suction hose thingy that I rinsed briefly in salt water, maybe it had some residue. Also I...

It smelled very fishy for about an hour or two later like being on the wharf. This morning everything is nice and clear. I think there was stuff in the HOB filters that got blown out when I turned everything back on, the HOB filters where downright filthy. My new clowns are in hiding (they"ve...

So, I just finished my 2nd ever water change, the first one was 3 weeks ago just before I added life to the tank so I wasn't really paying attention to technique. This time I started by turning off my HOB filter (I have 2) and moved the power head so it would be below the level of water when I...

Awesome thanks. I promise to go slow and will take your advice to add the anemone last, I think the fire angelfish should be the last fish? As I think it's the most aggressive on my list. And yeah sorry I meant blue reef chromis

July 3rd and July 6th readings ph 8.1-8.2 ammonia 0.25 (is always that light green I'm going to use that as my new zero as its also the level of my fresh RO water as well) nitrite 0 nitrate 0 specific gravity 0.125 temp range 78.3-80.1 first diatom bloom in R lower corner Orange sponges reviving...

Ok, thanks!

Hi was wondering if this would work? Instead of buying and creating a separate track for moonlighting, If my LED build is dim-able and my whites and blues are on separate drivers could I use my royal blues from my main setup and dim them down for use as my moonlighting at dusk/night?

I tested my freshly made salt water today before doing my water change and its exactly the same slightly greenish color on the ammonia results of up to about 0.25 as I have been getting in all the other tests. Can anyone recommend a good testing kit I can change to? Or should I just make 0.25...

API. and thanks for the tip I will ever so slightly feed for my CUC

You're right flower and honestly it would be irresponsible not to say so, I still have my fingers crossed that it's not going to crash. I'm going to let things go a couple more weeks before adding my first fishy and keep doing regular testing. I'm just guessing the 400 dollars in rocks and...

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend!I ghost feed my tank the 22, 23, and 24th with all parameters remaining: ammonia 0.1-0.25, nitrate 0, nitrite, 0, PH 8- 8.2, specific gravity 1.025 and salinity 34. 2 days ago I added to the tank: 1 turbo snail 2 Asterea Snails 2 Scarlet Hermits...
