    Best Reef Salt?

    oceanic for me~! i'd switched from marine enviroment few months ago. One thing that i notice after the switch is that, i dont need to dose alk and ca, after water changes. i've always had to when using marine salt.

    help with lighting and water

    just choose the big pieces... i'd made a mistake and bought a whole load of small pieces when starting the tank.
