mine seems to molt every 2 weeks, all is well

if your just getting started and willing to commit to weekly water changes you can do without a skimmer for quite a while

if you leave it out in the air it will kill everything and you wont need to cure it because it will be just like base rock, over time your other LR will recolonize the rock-without the algea

that seems like a lot of top off to me, do you have glass tops? is your tank in the direct path of an ac vent/fan?

u guys are right, its opening more and more a little each day

everything is within normal range, ntrate is probably a little up there maybe 15 or so, under 72watts of t-5, some of them were opening yesterday but not fully

I had a coral do that once when adding to the tank,immediatly when it touched the water, looked like milk or something was coming off of it like smoke. When some corals feel extremly threatned and think they are not going to survive, they will excrete baby juice. Your coral is allready or about...

yes biowheels are a nitrate factory from what Ive read as well. P.S. if you ever plan on doing any coral whatsoever, pull out those crabs!!!!

well consider yourself lucky!!! i used tap water 1 time(when I first started)--instant algea for me!
