    Hydrometer- Child's toy or precise tool?

    cheap refractometers can give you a false sense of security. They need to be calibrated before each use. You get what you pay for. Usually a hydrometer is off but it can be consistantly off, so if you know weather it reads high or low, you can adjust for it. If you get the refractometer it's...

    Sounds like a frogspawn morph. Thats one of the trade names that used to be used for frogspawns years ago. There have been some really neon green "glowing" euphilias being imported lately.

Then keep live rock wet(wrapped with wet newspapers or towels), and bring as much of the old water as possible(At least 60%imo). Package them in styrofoam boxes and...

    Help Me pick 2 Themes for 400 reefs

    I've done plenty of rubber coral systems, these tanks will be full blown reef tanks, that is set in stone. From there it's up to me to decide the livestock. I can build the tank of my dreams on someone else's nickel- and do it twice. Two identical systems with something special to set them...

    So my rose split....

    I didn't realize it was a nano. A tiny blue would take a while and they stress so much in small tanks. Maby someone could rent you a Kole tang for a few days. It is however not as hard to manage as people have been made to think. Not that you should keep it but if you thin it out regularly...

    So my rose split....

    I have to disagree. In my experience, most common tangs, Blue especially will make quick work of this stuff. When it was legal I used to have to grow it in the sump to feed to tangs(because they loved it), they wouldn't let it grow in the display.
