    Colt Coral Receding??

    I looked this morning and my colt coral appears to have shrunken in somewhat. I checked my water params, all seems to be ok, other than my Nitrates being up around 20. That's due to me being gone for 2 wks, and the people I had helping out, probably overfeeding. I'm doing a water change...

    HELP!!! My RSM 130 has been "cycling" for over a months

    I bought my first saltwater tank, an RSM 130, at the end April. Added live rock on 2nd day, and more a week later that was uncured. I understood from reading that uncured rock takes longer, but i haven't really noticed any true spikes in ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites. IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS...

    Hello all, I just got a RSM 130 last Sunday. I set it up with live rock and sand, and have some questions. I've been reading for two weeks now (1 week before I bought aquarium, and this week). I have the New Marine Aquarium:Step by Step Setup and Stocking Guide by Michael Paletta - good...
