Bad advice only please!!!

Personally I always start a tank with invasive nems, Kenya trees, Xenia and gsp... all you have to do is prune them leave the extra pieces in your substrate they’ll die off and you’ll never ever see them again. Perfect for reef beginners.

This thread made my day!

Use bleach for Algea !!

 

[Richard Hercher]

Can I use Kosher?

Not with Monkfish.

But if you have white and blue LEDs on the tank, you'll be fine.

 

[Aqua Man]

Yeah that Octopus will be just fine. They make great first additions to any tank.

Believe everything your LFS tells you.

Moving a Red Sea Reefer 250 across town is a piece of cake! It will only take about 1-2 hrs and all you'll need is a small compact car and a couple of buckets...and maybe a towel or two.

I tried a whole bottle of Red Sea Alk in my tank talk about iron tide and sparkling fish

 

[mlivvy]

Not me but I overheard an LFS owner-

customer: What's the best way to get my corals to grow?

owner: If you want your corals to grow.. use this...

There has never been a better time to open a LFS!

buy your tank pre decorated from ATM and buy your fish at petco...and a wet dry filter is superior to a sump...the single strip T8 fixture from your freshwater tank will be fine as long as you buy a this 50/50 coral bulb (a lfs actually told me that one)....and cycle your tank with a mandarin...theyre hardy and love tetra min flake food

 

[ClownWrangler]

Drop alkaline batteries in your tank to buffer the alkalinity. They will fizz and oxygenate the water at the same time.

 

[MombasaLionfish]

If you see little white spots on your fish its just there scales growing thicker to accommodate colder temperatures. If they proceed to start dying after this then you should just heat up the tank there probably cold.

 

[Reef man 89]

Don’t worry if your tank is not level it will be fine.

 

[Silent]

Don't dip your corals it will reduce the biodiversity.

 

[Reef man 89]

Silicone dry and cracked? Don’t worry salt creep will fill the in the gaps

 

[Andreas' Reef]

The tank needs to be as small as possible for the biggest fish.

 

[Andreas' Reef]

You: What do I feed my Mandarin Dragonet?
Me: Oh just some flake food will do fine.

 

[Mike from TN]

No need for a GFI. The water is a perfect ground!

 

[rubertoe93]

When buying fish, always shake the bag to stimulate the new inhabitant!

 

[Crustaceon]

Look at how full my sps tank is! You should duplicate the exact razor’s-edge parameters. (Omits the fact that this system is fed and dosed 27,000 times per day and missing a single daily routine will cause it to crash instantly).
