I am the same way. Towards the end, I was starting to notice an over-abundance of selling threads when I hit the "new posts" button. That is not something that I want to see either.

Yes, low calcium and alk will definitely cause the lack of coralline algae growth. My comment about the purple up was not specifically to you, since I realized it was a FOWLR by seeing the lunare and butterfly.

Be careful with purple up if you have a reef tank. It has a tendency to shoot calcium levels through the roof.

The coral banded and cleaner will be fine together but you will only be able to get one coral banded shrimp unless you can find a mated pair.

I've seen it happen very often, usually occurs with bad water quality.

If you're adding two halides, I would get four actinic, unless you know your house gets hot and don't plan onrunning the halides very long each day.

I just left it alone. My diamond was in my 210 so the sand storm persisted for about two weeks because there was so much sand.

Coralline all depends on your calcium and alkalinity levels. Do you test those?

Very normal behavior from diamond gobies. Mine did it all the time. eventually the sand storm will stop.

Nice tank! Keep an eye on the camel shrimp tho, they usually pick at coral.

I would consider that to be moderate lighting. You should be able to keep a nice amount of corals.

Looks like xenia to me.

Sure, why not. With a 9 week old tank, a little cloudiness is normal. Nothing to panic over.

Ah, 400 watt bulbs would be fine then. I would find out the kelvin of the bulbs. You want at least a 10,000 kelvin. They will probably be much lower, and if that is the case, they will not work for your application.

I would definitely say black. Big difference between the colors, in my opinion.

Hm, definitely sounds like some possible predators in there. Eel could have gone after him for sure, as could the angelfish. Is the fish still eating?

That definitely appears to be green star polyps. Love the starfish as well. I really like your aquascape but your tank would stand out more if it had a background color.

First things first, did you check your water parameters? Anyone picking on him? What else is in the aquarium?
