    Water Softener, Make up water & Kalk (Calcium hydroxide)

    Alkalinity is KH. Perhaps you should switch to a better salt... Even IO reef crystals is an improvement on their standard salt mix.

    Too much in too small

    Its because a lot of these little 'designer frags' have become somewhat of a status symbol. Those who get caught up in the trend want to collect them all and make their collection the focus of the tank. Don't worry, in a few years everyone will look back and joke about it - just like how 7 or so...

    HELP HELP just lose one of 2 clown fish dont want to lose the other HELP ME PLEASE

    Your small water changes are not accomplishing much. You need to do a series of 50% water changes at this point. Also I would add some carbon to your filter, seeing as you likely stirred up some hydrogen sulfide with moving all your rocks around.

    Aquascaping with PVC!!

    Coralline growing on coral

    tbh, it looks like the coral is already dead and its just algae growing on the skeleton? Coralline will not grow on flesh (unlike some filamentous algae).

    what is this? A snail of some sort?

    Can you get a side shot so we can see what is on the other side of its foot?

    What the..?

    Its too fat and squat to be an emerald crab. Emeralds are more rounded than oblonged. Get it out.

    Suggestions please?

    As long as you do not do bottom dwelling or really small fish, the snowflake will likely not show issue with any other species.

    Wet/dry advice

    I'll answer your questions in order. 1) I like bioballs. Some do, some don't. You will find arguments going both directions on this one, so go with whatever is familar to you. 2) Pump: Since you have 2 overflows, I'd go with an oversized pump. 1500 gallons per hour or greater. 3) You don't need...

    Soft Corals touching

    They are very closely related. I think you will be fine, just keep your eyes on them. If it becomes a problem, just prune the kenya tree!

    Wellsophyllia swollen

    Both pics are acceptable - skeleton is showing, nor is the flesh tightly pressed against the skeletal ridge. The below picture looks like it is getting ready to release its feeding tentacles!

    They're actually painting fish.....

    In regards to the op, this is a fairly common practice. They have been injecting dye and other chemicals into fish for years and years now. You've seen painted glass tetras; the ones with blue/pink/purple/green/yellow/orange streaks across the dorsal ridge of an otherwise boring species? I would...
