Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
A Berghia Nudibranch I bought them at OGII. They float to the top of the tank when the aptasia are gone. Unfortunatly I have a HOB Skimmer with a strainer that has openings that were a little to big. :P

The amount of phosban you use is determined by the size of your tank. Too much is not a good thing. There should be dosing instruction on the container. The media should be barely moving at the surface as Hirobo suggested.

What's the distance between the sand and the light? T5s are usually used on tanks up to 24" in depth. You can always put your sps a little higher on the lr to compensate.

I aged mine at least 24 hours with a pump. Hawk, I used to use RC and had the same residue in the bucket. I've switched to Tropic Marine and haven't had it since.

I have a pair of clowns and a pair of yellow chromis both with eggs. The female chromis takes care of the eggs but with the clowns the female leaves the male to mind the eggs. Sorry to say that they will also be fish food. :(
Place a stiff piece of cardboard on the top of the tank and then take a pencil and run it around the tank on the underside of the cardboard and you have a template.

I have one on my 46gal and love it. It's a mixed reef and have no problems with too much flow. Mine is mounted about 8 inches from the top of the tank.

There are givers and takers. What side of the line do you fall on? If you think your lack of membership had anything to do with no one responding to you question then maybe you should go elsewhere and be happy.
