I was gone for a week, wife found this critter in the tank about 15 min before lights out. This is the best pic she could get. She described 2 animals about a 1 cm in size, free swimming and clear. My first thought is some sort of juvy pod. No biggie for ID, but interesting none the less...

I have a BRS 4 stage RODI system, I understand a major part of a healthy tank starts with the RODI. With using new filters, pushing about 60 PSI, and using a HM digital com-100 TDS meter, my reading is .8 PPM. I understand that's good, but should I be pushing for better numbers by using...

Need to cut back my CHALICES and monti cap. Do you just snap the parts off? Or do I need to get my Surgeon clothes on and play with sharp things. Further, do I need to do anything to assist in the healing of the main part of the animal? To bad I have no other peeps to give the pieces to :(.

I have a simple question, I have some new SPS that came in. They were from a tank with 20K 250w halides. My current radions are at 40% and I am climbing to 65ish. I am at 40%, as I am bringing my transfer T5 corals up to the LED's. Is there any reason why I can't just put the SPS where I...
