My first reef tank was a 46G bowfront I got for free and it was basically garbage. No prior experience with silicone or really any DIY stuff like that, and first try I got it just fine and no leaks until I shut it down over a year later since I got a bigger tank. I would say go for it. Even if...
I live in Tinton Falls if the above deal doesn’t work out. Have around 25 pounds of dry rock that was previously used on my old tank so I’d recommend you cure it in a separate container for a bit before it goes in the main tank so that if any phosphates got stuck behind they don’t leech out...
Turn off your return pump, drop a siphon for water changes into it, get the water as low as you can get it and then use a net to scoop him out. My chromis and cleaner shrimp like to take trips over the waterfall during the night when they’re asleep so I’ve done this quite a few times and...
I have a bicolor foxface in my home tank and have never had a problem with my pretty good variety of corals. No experience but from what I hear, blue jaw triggers are one of the best for reef tanks and like said above usually are okay with snails but shrimp, especially decorative ones, not so...
See if it goes after the nori when you drop a small piece in during feeding time. I also agree the best way is for them to watch another fish eat from the clip first, or else it’s pretty much up to chance.

Had a tiny alk spike but nothing major.. I was a little low anyway so the slight overdose was probably good, got me back to 8.1 which is just where I like it at.

I made a mistake while pouring out my alk dose and my pH jumped up from 8.2 to just under 8.5. I would assume my alk jumped as well but I am about to leave and just saw my controller ph monitor showing the high reading, but I will check with my hanna kit once I come back home. All of my corals...
For sure... I really don’t know how he’s doing it and has shown no improvement in terms of swimming properly and still has no interest in food.

You may not be dosing as a regular routine. If you have a lot of stony corals you may have to in order to keep up with their growth and the best way to do so is measure your levels each day before you dose in order to keep them in the proper ranges. However if your tank isn’t full of lots of SPS...
Didn’t update when it happened, but a while ago he slipped under a crack in the sump into a pitch black section wit nothing there. Yesterday I use a waterproof flexible camera the width of a pen to see in there and make sure he didn’t die. After his disappearance the other day, a few minutes he...
He’s hanging in there still. I have a delayed opening for school today so had some extra time to watch him this morning.
The pictures are less than ideal since it’s very hard to get a good shot in the sump, especially since I don’t clean the glass. He still won’t eat, but I’m glad to see he’s...
