I tried out a Koralia 3 and just ordered another one. Love them! I do wish they could be used with wavemakers and will eventually move up to Tunze, but you can't beat the Koralia performance for...

I'd been keeping mine at 1.027 with SPS in future plans, but I've dropped it down to 1.025. I don't have an automated top-off (it's on its way), so the SG was sometimes swinging a little too high...

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. I thought you were adding uncured live sand into a new system. If it's already been there, it's fine.

If it's already in, just be ready to check your ammonia, nitrites and nitrates and have some saltwater ready for a water change if anything looks like it's going wrong.

I haven't seen him try to climb the glass yet, but he's the darned fastest snail I've ever seen. I couldn't spot his siphon sticking up out of the sand for a few days and began to worry that he'd...

If you add bagged live sand to your fuge, be aware that it will probably cause a die-off cycle in your main tank.

I second just using the money on salt. You'll end up using it sooner or later and it will give you time to study up on everything else. You'll be busy enough with school ;).

Thanks for this list and all your FYI posts, Sk8r. You've singlehandedly kept me from buying several things already that would've messed up my DSB. I managed to walk through my LFS today without...

Santa brought me a Koralia 3, a refractometer, and a grounding probe so I don't get blown into the dining room during water changes! I strategically overspent on my husband, so now he "owes" me with...

Is this a pinpoint? If so, there is liquid in those little pouches rather than powder. I set them upright in 2 small cups. Don't use the same cup for both because if you get a spill, you can still...

I finally was able to get my tank started just last month, but I've read a ton of books about the subject. Given only a few years in between publish dates, many of the books contradicted each other...
