It's a 90 so it's 24". 33" is pretty deep, if their happy, keep them right where they are.

Your LFS is full of it. I use kalk and so do alot of folks.

I have 3 brains and no sandbed. They are all low in the tank tho and under 250W MH. 1 is on the glass bottom.(in my avitar)

Vinegar will allow the water to hold more kalk in the solution. I would not recomend doing that until you know how your tank is doing with the normal mix. I dose it as 1 tsp. per 1 gallon of RO/DI.

It has the "look" of a carnation coral. But it could be xenia.

I feed cyclopeeze. Oyster eggs are good to for them, I hanen't tryed that YET tho.

A 70W MH would be good for that size tank. Some bulb makers have 10K's if you search.

DO NOT STIR THE SAND. Your bed is working, the bubbles are good and they will come out on their own.

I have had mine about 4 years now. Here is a fairly new pic of it.

I agree with Wax, 1.023 is to low for your snails and the temp I would bump up slightly too. They are dying a slow death. Do you have alot of hermits? They like to snack on snails to. ***)

Open brain called Lobophylia

I have problems with hermits. I buy them and they kill each other.(yes I feed them) The past couple years I have only 1 in my 90 and it's a scarlet. It's is just fine by itself and it cruzes the whole tank. I like to add mixed snails to do the cleaning in the tank.

sounds like your on the right track. Just don't move any #'s to fast, you might cause adverse effects. HTH, good luck.

2 reasons come to my mind. 1) alk is low 2)when you did a water change air hit the coraline. Air will kill it if exposed for to long. HTH

Should be OK. If you have some sand now, you could just add dead sand. It will be live soon after.

A tank drilled for a closed loop is basicly taking water in the pump and pushing back to the tank in several locations. The water never goes into another tank, it's just a pump and plumbing. You could do that thru the back of the tank. No one will see it. You may want an oceans motions unit...

Tank size does not matter. It needs quality of light not a quanity of the wrong light. For instance; 1 250WMH over a 10 gallon tank and one over a 100G tank. A clam is 8" under the surface right under the bulb in both tanks. Which has the better light? In one tank is 25 wpg and the other is 2.5...

I remember doseing 1.5X and they came back. Then I did 1.25X dose few days later, and they are all gone now after a year. Hope this helps in any way.
