Thank you so much. It's been so much work but I love this hobby!

That would be very wise to acclimate your corals too the new light. I didnt and lost one brain coral and almost lost 2 of my other corals.

Well this has been such a learning experience. I first started with a 29g tank with nothing but live rock, live sand and 2 fish.. The tank was overrun with algae. I had no knowledge of reef tanks at all and the tank was covered in hair algae. I saw the algae and thought it was hopless. I now...

I have a sea clone 100, just put it in yesterday. Some foam at the top but when I feed the fish it bubbles like crazy. I will wait and see I guess. So far only condensation in the collection cup

I will go get some magnesium thank you so much! I got 12 pods and i think I am going to use only two or three I am going to give the rest to the lfs. I bet they look really great. Thank you so much for the info.

oh yeah i wanted to ask you Navarre about mangroves i just orderd some pods. What are they like? How fast do they grow? What do they do! I am really excited!

It may not be important but I do know that live sand has beneficial bacteria that the rock doesnt have. Live sand has different things living in it then live rock does. It really isnt that expensive either. Theres the kind in the store but I am not sure about the baged live sand it seems fake...

i have a 30 gallon for the dwarfs but im in the process of moving. The dwarfs wont be living with the gsp for very long. The gsp is about twice the size of my dwarf puffers. I dont know how old it is. i just never saw any fighting between them even when i feed them(they eat different things...

A couple of days ago I noticed that one of my dwarf puffers looked like she was wearing lipstick and her face was really swollen, now three days later it lookes like the top part of her mouth has a hole in it or a chip in the tooth, and the skin seems to be reseeding. The face is still really...
