    coral problems...please help!!

    I agree with Steve and Irena Pisces. The salinity is your problem. However another reason your corals may be dying is because of the young age of your tank. Most corals should only be introduced in a olded tank. Well good lk anyway. Tyrone

    Nitrate Removal System

    Hi there. I use a Nitrate removal system in my tank and it works great. The piece of this peace of equipment was fairly expensive. Around 500.00 It does use deniballs denitrification media which eats away the nitrates. It is a good alternative than very frequent water changes. Terry
