nutrients

Since my display is just three live rock pillars, I currently have a live rock section in my sump that is full or rock rubble. The live rock section measures 10"W x 20" L x 7" D. Right now it just has live rock rubble and a backup thermometer. Not sure how much biological filtration it...

I have a 45 gallon cube that I started back in February. Things have been going very well except a couple of small things I'm troubleshooting with one or two coral frags. Recent Test Results: Nitrate: 1.5ppm Ammonia & Nitrite: 0ppm Calcium: 430ppm Alk: 8.4dkh Magnesium: 1500 PH: 8.1 Phosphate...

I finally got curious enough to try out the Triton testing out and thought Id post my results here and see what you all think. First some background info. My system is about 300 gallons total and is made up of 3 tanks plus a sump. I have a mixed selection of coral and a not so heavy fishload...

Is it sufficient to feed ULNS (w/ SPS, LPS, Morphs) with Reef Roids only? #reefsquad #LPSexperts #SPSexperts And being known to be lazy, is it acceptable to just broadcast the food with the wavemakers, return and skimmer on? #lazy

For those folks that maintain ULNS, I'm assuming you need to feed your tank heavily in order not to starve your corals? be that softies, LPS or SPS. What do you feed your corals and When do you feed your corals? The likes of LPS/SPS as we know, when the lighting is off, their tentacles are...

I'm still beginning my first reef tank and know very little about some of the basic additives I'll need for a successful tank. I don't have much money to spend so I'd like to know some of the most influential or basic additives I could get and have on hand. Could anyone please shed some light on...

My 110 has been running for about 6 months now. I started strong with low nutrients and very little algae growth, but with the addition of some sps, I stopped vodka dosing so the nutrients would go up. So at this point I have a tank that has enough corals in it that aren't doing well (I've...
