Cyano bacteria. Usually the main reason for Cyano is overfeeding and old lights. I personally feed once every other day in a controlled amount. What kind of lights do you have and how old are they? If PCs get old, the light spectrum changes and promotes a lot of unwanted algae growth.

I wouldn't worry too much about your PH level, most good salts out there will sustain that. Like CELACANTHr said, get rid of the crushed coral immediately. Crushed Coral = Nitrate pockets waiting to release at first disturbance

I have a friend who has a Cherub Angel in his 55 reef. It has been overall good except for the poor Cat's Paw. IMO, one coral getting picked on is too much already. I think Cherubs are pretty cool but I'm going to stay away fro dwarf angels at the moment. And yes, Jawfish can be happy with...

The biggest gripe most people have with them is that they get big and they bulldoze your tank. Other than that, they're cool to have.

Nope, never mix different breeds of clowns. There are plenty of fish that you can get to accompany the pair though. Here some suggestions: Firefish most all Gobies and Blennies most smaller wrasses Your possibilities are big, most all fish get along just fine with clowns. The hardest part is...

A full cycle can take anywhere from a week to a month. You're probably still cycling the tank. However, if you wish to help reduce the nitrates, just do simple water changes. 10-20% changes every week should help.

I justed wanted to add that this is a great skimmer. I have 2 Aqua C Remora and one of these guys and there have been times where it seemed that the Coralife produced more skimate. Definitely a good price for a brand new one.

Am I missing something here? Who wanted you to delete your post?

That's why ***** offers a 'No money back guarantee' :)

***** + any SWF = death. Good luck. If possible, buy the seahorse before they put them in their tanks.

Not sure about the cleaner wrasse. I've read that they have more of a specialized diet. I'm not looking for a finicky eater...

I would love to have a Mandarin but I'm against cruelty to animals :) I'd ONLY get a Mandarin if I have witnessed it eat frozen foods and survived for many months. Usually if you see a Mandarin like that, they're not for sale or already have a home.

I've heard of Sixline being a little aggressive, especially towards inverts. I don't necessarily have to have a Sixline. However, the fish I'm looking for should behave like the Sixline, less the aggressiveness.

What about a Sixline Wrasse? I'd be worried about compatibility issues with my other wrasse though...

Here's my list of inverts I forgot to add: 1 White Tuxedo Urchin 1 Peppermint Shrimp 2 Cleaner Shrimp 3 Sauron Shrimp No Starfish Countless hermits and snails Royal Grammas are alright, I have just seen to many of them hide or stay way too stationary. I appreciate the suggestion though.
