I would have skipped the MH's(and any other lights you would have put in) and got the new PFO Solaris lighting system, its awsome. Good luck, jmcnaz

they might be blue ring octopus. live around indo-pacific area. if they bite you(or our kids) you dont have much time to live(with in a hour I think), there is no antivenin.-jmcnaz

with the live rock you really need a protien simmer, so I would use a sump with a protien simmer, then run a canister from the sump. Canisters need to be cleaned alot because they trap alot a nitrates. Good luck, jmcnaz

trates r 2 high

I didnt say the nitrates are killing his fish, I was trying to find a solution to his high nitrates. jmcnaz

you use a filter pad? if so this could be where your nitrates are coming from, pad traps nitrate in. 20 gal. tank is not that big, could limit how much live stock you can put in. jmcnaz

just wondering, do you use a canister filter? jmcnaz

you have to consider coral as they are live stock as well. jmcnaz

there are only two reasons I can think of. 1. Your tank is overcrowded or, 2. you have an animal in your tank that is killing your fish. Good Luck, jmcnaz

imo, you have a pistol shrimp, if it is should be fine. good luck, john

If these r your 1st corals, I would suggest zoanthids(either:protopalythoa or palythoa caribaeorum) or xenia. U might be able to keep Mushroom coral. Good Luck, John

doesnt look like Aiptasia, could be a bud of a coral. Good luck, john

The coralife reading can be as much as +-2 off. Its hard to find a good thermometer out there. I have 4 and they seem to be about +-1 degree off. Good Luck John

take all pumps and powerheads apart, clean inside the pumps. might not be bad idea to clean hoses.

clean power heads, pumps and unless those tube worms impead water flow I wouldnt touch them. If u use a sump I would clean any bioballs(with saltwater, not fresh water) and get as much detritus cleaned up. clean any UV lights up and change bulb. Good Luck
