    Hesitations about LiveAquaria.com

    I've had less than stellar experiences from them in past years... I've stopped now and do not plan to buy any more livestock from LiveAquaria. It is unfortunate, as they used to be "fairly" dependable. I've been trying to support local and smaller online vendors with more reliable processes...

    Neptune Sky or Radion G5+Reefbrite XHO?

    I picked the Radion G5 + XHOs, love it cuz it reminds me of the "old times" where you'd run T5's with Halides. The addition of kessils will be even sweeter!

    Id please

    Looks like some sort of bivalve (clam)? If so, these are filter feeding, and will eventually succumb due to lack of nutrients or phytoplankton. They usually come as hitchhikers and eventually perish... where did you get the live-rock? I would remove the shell/carcass if you don't want the...

    aptasia issues

    Kalk paste seems to be a cheaper alternative. You can get it at grocery stores (Pickling Lime), or buy a small container online/LFS. It'll last you a long time and you can always re-use it. I've killed countless number of aiptasia with just Kalk mixed with hot water.
