I'm thinking of buying some Rastas from a local reefer but have heard so many different pros/cons to keeping these. Some people have experienced melting of corals and slow to multiply. Others say they do great and multiply quickly. Anyone out there have experience with these beautiful little...
I've been battling cyano/redslime for about a month now. I've done several water changes and used peroxide injections as well as added a protein skimmer. The following week I used the vodka method and this week I've done 2 days of the sugar method. As of 2 days ago my nitrates are were down to...

I bought some pricey Rastas (luckily there were only 3). After about 1 week I noticed they shrank then dissappeared.I noticed that one of My other zoas are starting to do the same. Any suggestions?
I've been using the 6 in 1 strips that test for nitrates, nitrites, alkalinity, pH, , hardness, & chlorine. Is it true that master kits are more accurate or are the test strips just as good?
OK so I had to break down my tank since I moved to another state. I just started my cycle 2 weeks ago but made a huge mistake by filling my 44 gallon with tap water. I had a zillion boxes and couldn't find my RODI unit. Now that I've finally found my unit I can empty and start my cycle over with...
I'm moving to another state and have 50 lbs of live rock that i want to keep. How do I "boil" the rock so I can start from scratch when I get to my destination?
I have pods growing in a seperate tank. How many microns should my net have in order to harvest them? I'm guessing the lower the number of microns the better it filters smaller particles? Is that correct?
OK so I have a mandarin in a 5 gallon QT tank. I just received two 6oz. bottles of tigger pods. How much should I feed this litlte guy? Should I start with just half of one of the bottles? There are newly hatched brine in the QT as well but he seems to have lost interest in them.
OK everyone....I have decided to by a mated pair of green mandarins. I want to culture my own pods and I'm wondering if it is really necessary to feed them phyto or can I get away with just feeding small amounts of fish food?
What's a good algae scrubber that I can use to clean off my glass? I bought a "Fusion Aquarium Scrubber" from Petco and this piece of junk has put several scratches on the inside of my tank even though it says for glass and acrylic use....:mad:
What if I just buy one of those soft dish washing...
So I just bought a refractometer & 4 stage RODI PLUS with water saver kit that were on sale on Bulk Reef Supply's site. Unbelieveable as to how inaccurate that hydrometer was....and I've been using it all this time! Hopefully I will see less algae growth and my birdnest coral will start showing...
