For those who have the Aqua knight A029, what percentages do you have your white and blues on. I have live rock, no coral in my 20 gal

Hi! I’m new to saltwater aquariums! I currently have a 20g tank with 2 clowns in it so far. I have not added corals, but I plan to in the future. I used a combination of frtiz turbostart and Dr. Tims ammonium chloride in a bottle to cycle the tank, monitored the progress daily, then in about 11...

Hey everyone! After doing tons of morph research, i found the perfect clownfish at my LFS for my future breeding project! This is also my first shot at a saltwater aquarium and its a nano, but I’ve done plenty of research and plan to document everything here to help newer reefers. I used to...

Hi all, can I just say what an excellent forum and source of information/guidance we have at our finger tips here! I have kept tropical fish a decade or so back and I found that quite simple to maintain. Because it is! I have always wanted a salt water reef aquarium so before I go for the...

Hi all, I recently moved back to my home town, and my dad and I decided to get into reefing. We finished going through the 52 weeks of reefing series, just got our tank, and our dry rock is in transit. Even though adding fish is really far off, I've started working on a rough draft of my stock...
