I am using Coral Heaven as a part of my regular feeding and it does seem to benefit my corals (especially softies). I notice that when the Coral Heaven is added to the water, polyps on my softies REALLY extend. Since I've started using it, it does seem that growth levels have increased as...

I've said this before and I will keep saying it. People don't care about things that don't directly affect them. Do you really think the average person cares enough to do anything to help the coral reefs around the world? Unless they are divers then I don't think they even give coral reefs a...

Tank is fairly new, but here are the answers to your questions: 5 Months No Caulerpa die off No yellow water (crystal clear) 10-15% water change every 3-4 weeks Not using any other filtration sytems 90lbs of Vanisi Base/Premium live rock 3-4 inches of mixed size aragonite sand You are welcome.

I agree...a great looking fish, but my experience has been that they can be very ill tempered. Mine only occasionally bothers its smaller tankmates. Tangs of the Zebrasoma type (i.e. Yellow, Purple, Sailfin, etc.) will tend to fight. The Purple Tang does have the black lines you mentioned. It...

I would think that in a balanced system, with a sufficient number of detrivores, most of the waste material is going to end up being consumed. What little that doesn't end up as living tissue becomes part of the substrate. I suppose over a very long length of time this sediment would become...

I mix calamari, crab meat, shrimp, nori, omega 3 brine shrimp, fish roe, a bit of Formula One flake, and some vitamins. Blend it all up and freeze into cubes. Mmm...Mmm...good.

I had a couple of patches of it...yanked it out by hand and it never came back. Seems like once I disturbed the colony the rest of it just died off. Maybe I was just lucky?

Liquid - I'll send you some if you'd like. Just message me where you'd like to send it. I agree that it is probably just regular dirt with enhanced mineral content.

Dude...it's dirt. What ingredients do you want them to list? I was as skeptical as you were at first, but I'm not the only one having success with it. There are lots of testimonials from others who have had success. I may end up needing to add Calcium/Buffer at some point, but so far I've...

I believe what you are talking about is a type of flatworm. They are harmless and I've heard them referred to as "caped crusaders".

It isn't often that we take the time out to appreciate others in the world around us, but in light of events of the past week I've decided to try and do a better job of that myself. I would like to thank each of you who have provided me with knowledge, entertainment, thoughtful discussion, and...

I'm not certain that it is the only factor. I'm just saying that the system works. My tank has been going about 4 months now so we shall see in the long run. I have been watching Ca, Ph, et al very carefully. I currently have Yellow Polyps, Green Star Polyps, Pulsing Xenia, Green Frogspawn...
