do you still have these corals?

Most likely, I will be home Sunday evening.

It’s somewhere between medium and large. Not sure about Sunday yet.

I have one, free. I am in Aberdeen.

I have never been able to keep phosphate at the ideal level, which is @0.03ppm according to some. In nature the phosphate level is undetectable yet corals are thriving. Nutrient is continuously produced and consumed. That's the balance I try to achieve. In my tank most of the time phosphate is...

@Yates273 - if you have a lot of nitrate your phosphate might be depleted first by the carbon dosing. You might need to dose some phosphate.

Some of mine are darker ones. Kind of a salt and pepper look. However I have never seen them eat the corals. And there are plenty of them in the tank.

No problem with it at all. Tank is getting crowded and this guy is too active makes the tank look smaller.

If it's picking on rocks it should be good. I would not medicate until it eats well and gains weight. You can try feed it a mixture of frozen food, maybe some meshed up oyster. Hatching brine shrimp is easy to do as well. Mine eats everything including pellets. These guys are pigs once start...

These hermet crabs I got from petco are great. End up getting a small army of them. Never attacked snails and do not both corals at all.

How's yours doing?

$60. Tang not included.

About 3”. $60

A clam is attached to an astrea snail. It has been growing bigger the last two months. And I have never been able to keep clams lol.

From ACC.

Selling a pair of cinnamon clowns. They’re in the attached video. Still small. I am shutting down another tank and want to move the snowflakes into this tank with the ritteri nem. The ritteri nems are native hosts of percula clowns. The cinnamons are still small but hanging out together all the...

This has to be a measurement error.

It will remove N and P approximating the redfield ratio, about 16:1. Yes you have to test and occasionally supplement nitrate as needed. I always keep my N high at least 5ppm.

Paul explained it much better than I could. Carbon dosing is cheap and effective.

Very simple. Mix 500ml vinegar + 375ml vodka + 125ml RODI water. Start with dosing 2ml a day until it kicks in. You will need to measure PO4 and NO3 for a few weeks until you get the dosage right. Good nutrient export is critical for algae control.
