    Turning off powerheads in the night

    Is it alright to turn off all the water circulation in the night, except the return pump? I am thinking this will allow the fish and corals rest peacefully. Is this a good idea? Thanks Arvind.

    The anthias looked sick before it died. I cant say the same thing about the purple tang or yellow wrasse. I do quarantine the fish for 90 minutes to an hour.

    Frogspawn care

    My Frogspawn is not looking good. First I thought it was in a high flow area, so I moved to bottom of the tank. It gotten worse. So I moved it back to its old place, but still not looking good at all. What do you guys think I should look for? All other corals (i have only a few) and fish look...
