@krebs11 What are your parameters ? I dont see any numbers anywhere (unless ive just missed them) It would certainly help if we know what they were ?

Its really important to know what you other tests are when it comes to corals. Mag & cal play a fairly important role in healthy corals also. Can you test these two ? Has the flow changed in the tank at all ? With 0 nitrates you may also need to be feeding some corals. Most LPS like a little...

I appreciate your answer, but is there a "number"that is considered safe ? eg. 10ppm 20pm below 5ppm just really interested in experienced opinions. Thanks @krebs11 Wondering also what your water change and husbandry is ?

Hi @beth Very interesting article. Thanks for that. Just wanting to know what your opinions on "high nitrates" I have always read that nitrates should not be above 10ppm in a healthy reef tank, especially with tangs. What does your take on "high"mean ? I have seen debates on varies forums...

Well Congratulations then. well done.

I thought gonipora were encrusting and didn't think they reproduced in this way. Are you 100% sure it's not a different coral popping up ? I've got 13 gonis in my tank and fragged many of them with skeletons attached. Some are 5 yrs old and never ever seen this way of reproduction ?

I see on your post you have ammonia in youre tank ? You should not have ammonia. Often fish becomes skittish if not housed with compatible tank mates in a suitable size tank. Eg lipstick tang is very active loves to get up some speed. Not possible for a happy fish thats bumping into glass...

They actually "shed". Extra flow to help him do that & will be fine. They often do this when conditions change.

hi, bit of fun really was taking some quick iphone shots of the tank the other night. Suddenly realized that the scape looks exactly like a poodle. fluffy ears, fluffy legs, nose ears and even eyes. Does your scape look like anything else

Personally I hate them. lol I know people seem to think they serve a purpose and help with keeping nutrients low in a tank, but I have heard they also can contribute to old tank syndrome. I used to have one on my old tank, that I hated the look of, the algae on the glass (between sand and...

can you remove or lift the hood when temp starts rising, If your tank can breathe it stays cooler ?

Some days you sit and say, is this hobby worth it ? But most days we realize just how lucky we are seeing these amazing, fascinating creatures and the way the live. I was watching the tank the other day and saw this, I had to take a video as I watched to see how long it would take the 3cm stom...

Well there you go, you know the old saying, its never over till the fat lady sings.....lol

Yes all the people in this discussion are reefers & fully aware this is saltwater not fresh. Well will see what happens. Thanks for feed back.

Congrats in the win. Well deserved

Interesting debate. @pegasus @bang guy I thought I would speak with a micro biologist. This was his thoughts. Here is a couple of exerts from a discussion here in Adelaide where there has been a massive very strong stain of ich present, of which I was unfortunate enough to have experienced...

Debary have an amazing reputation. It appears German made products do a great job. They are very expensive here though. Urghhh. They recommend 2500lt/hr or less will do the job well. We have just bought one, so will hook it up & see what happens. :).

' I have heard it helps with ICH. I know its not a cure and will not stop the cycle but I believe it kills the free floating in the water column. So the number of parasites in the tank is kept to a minimum. Any thoughts ? I wasn't intending to run it for algae. .

. ULN - ultra low nutrient :)

ok, so what If I run a ULN tank right now, do I have phytoplankton or not "?
