    The "DO NOT..." Advice List for Saltwater Aquarists

    Do Not eat the yellow snow (tastes worse than the siphon hose). Do Not take any wooden nickels (pocket full-o-change can leave some nasty splinters). Do Not let your SO move your tank while you're in a foreign land. Especially if that tank ends up next to a sofa where a 3 yr old can feed the...

    I already have a few smallish growths of caulerpa in the main dislplay. I was thinking about removing them and replacing with xenia. That is if xenia has been shown to utilize phosphates. Thanx for the welcome and the help.

    Hello all. I'm excessively new to BBS and fairly new to reef keeping. I do, however, have a basic understanding of the latter.
