Small amounts of ammonia in the waste can be toxic to many reef inhabitants and high levels of nitrates and phosphates can inhibit coral growth and colors. Detritus will also be less likely to collect underneath rock work in a bare bottom tank where by Afishionado | Jan 18, 2019 | Eye Candy, Tanks, Video

I’ve travelled a few miles down Egypt’s Red Sea coast and enjoyed some of my favorite dives in the warm, coral-rich waters and every time I go, I marvel at just how the landscape of the coastline, even several hundred meters back from the present day shore, is...
