Personally I would stick to just snails, lots of them. My favorites are zebra turbos, a few of these will take care most everything. I've always...
Thanks for the link!
In case no one has mentioned it. I would add that driver and cooling design will make a lot of difference in performance and life of your LEDs too.
Thanks, I was just about to ask for references! Well, I guess I'm the only one with more than usual polyp extension on every single sps I own...
Yes they can still grow and survive, but it doesn't mean they are at their optimal. The misconception is that the lights are causing the polyps to...
You could be right about your tank being premature. Not to under estimate the pests issue though. Unless you've dipped them in some sort of anti...
Sorry, but I really couldn't disagree more. Here's my thoughts from experience. - If you have fish that maybe perching or nipping at the corals,...
That's great info and I agree about customer service, it goes a long way. Do you know or have experience with remote monitoring and control with...

I would make sure you know what your levels are with the salt you are using when changing water. Definitely stop dosing calcium, but keep the alk and...
Seems like every so often a scientific/health report that milk is good for you, then after awhile another report says it's not good for you. Can...

APEX is great. But keep in mind that it's a high start up cost. If you don't need remote monitoring there are plenty of other options that will do...
I also agree that an exhaust is a must, not only because of the humidity, but also heat. Over time you will also build up mold and corrode whatever...
Great job, this is a very nice clean start, clean water, no pests!
Would it help to have a bunch of cleaner crabs of snails in the tank, at least to have them break free of the rock. Perhaps seeding your tank with...
Another option. Many people have good luck adding bacteria to the tank such as Dr. Tim's One and Only. This bacteria would speed up the cycle.
Montiporas are great starter sps. Doesn't have high requirements. As long as your tank is fully cycled and has been running stable. You wont have any...
