    Compatability issues?

    What type of shrimp goby would you recomend? Obviously it would have to be peaceful and compatable with the onther 2 gobys I am getting. I know its a 210 and there is ample room and hiding places for them but I just want to make sure I am not pressing my luck.

    Nitrates/Nitrites

    As stated above, add more live rock. But first, how much live rock do you currently have? Live rock is the base to forming beneficial bacteria along with live sand.

    Algae scrubber questions...

    My main question is what exactly does an algae scrubber help with. I understand that it grows algae but does that also mean it prevents it from forming in th DT? Personally I would think that it just developed a new place for it to group rather than eliminate it from the display tank. Any help...

    Thinking of a DIY led fixture

    Not that I have corals at this point but you never know, things may change. What is it about the led's I found VS the ones Rapid sells that makes them better for corals. That's really the reason I was going to use so many bulbs. I was under the impression that its the light output, thus the...

    Thinking of a DIY led fixture

    In the fixture I will mount a small fan with a vent at the other end for cooling. That is of course if the fixture will even get warm enough to need it. I don't want it to warp the acrylic but then again, they are led's so heat shouldn't be an issue. Ive just heard of people using heat sinks so...
