I need help with my torch coral. I fed it last week and it’s been doing worse ever since. I don’t think that it’s a problem with bjd because it probably would have died a while ago as a result.

Hi everyone, I recently did the asm gate valve mod and I think I might have done something wrong. I’ve attached pictures, the only way I was able to get it to work and actually adjust the skimmer properly, the skimmer is sitting in like 2 inches of water. Someone please explain how I’m supposed...

So I purchased the AI prime 16 HD and installed it to my 16 gallon Biocube. I downloaded saxbys presets, and the only thing i did was up the uv and violet to match the blues (basically making it more of an AB+ , but with the up and down ramping throughout the day). I let that run on acclimation...
