    Coral won’t open after feeding

    So last week I fed my palys reef roids mixed with phytoplankton and ever since then they have not opened back up it’s coming up on the 8th day of this and I’m starting to get concerned, is there anything I can do? Or is there anything I should do?

Would I benefit from...

    Tetra Whisper 10 air filter replacement for phytoplankton culturing.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for the air-intake filter for a Tetra Whisper10? I've been having bad luck with my phytocultures, and I've done everything I can think of to keep bacterial contamination from occurring. I think something may be in the pump that is causing the issue.

    Tips on adding pods?

    Hi all, My tank at one point had a huge pod population, but it seems to have dwindled. I thought I might "boost" the tank with one of the pod/phyto combos at algaebarn... They recommend 3 combos for my size of tank of 150g. But that's rather expensive, so I thought maybe I'd just start with...

    Will phytoplankton grow naturally in my tank?

    I hear a lot about phytoplankton reactors and dosing it when you introduce copepods, or feed clams, etc. still, once I pour a bag of the green liquid into my aquarium, will it continue to grow naturally? Or do you have to keep resupplying the tank. If so, why? For example, once copepods are...
