Re the water changes (or lack thereof ). I really can't explain why I am getting away with doing so few but I do have a rather weak theory. When I do add water to top off I create a "ocean storm" in the tank. I drop the water from about a foot above the tank and try to stir things up. I think...

Absolutely agreed that what I am doing may not work for everyone. And I should clarify that I am NOT RECOMENDING that this is the way to do things. Certainly more frequeant water changes should be better. The only point I'm trying to make, and many may take exception to this as well. is that I...

Sorry to upset you RC. You're right that I'm a rookie but I've seen many failures when all the right equipment was in place. All I'm trying to say is that there are many roads to success. I certainly do not intend to say the advice given on this site is wrong, quite the contrary I think it's...

It seems to disappear on its own. Just leave it alone??

I have seen this from time to time in my tank but still do not know what it is. Currently I have these round "balls" dark Olive green in color and size from pea size and smaller. They are in a bunch in my Anthelia Coral and apparently doing no harm at all. I had to brush aside some of the...

Can I safety keep a Royal Gramma and a Tobacco Basslett in the same tank ro will they fight??
