I’m strongly considering getting a Red Sea Reefer 170 and was wondering whether people who have one would get one again? Has anyone had any reliability issues? Most importantly, how quiet is the tank? I plan use DC pumps and those have always been silent in my experience, but a loud overflow...

You can try a yellow watchman I think they are pretty and have decent personalities. They’re also cheap and easy to find.

I wouldn’t add a second one, they can live for many years. My original one lasted 8 years. They are so tiny they shouldn’t mess up your water quality in the event they did die. They’re one of those things that you’ve got to just be patient and let them settle in. They may never be out a lot...

I have no experience with Yashas, but pistols can be pretty reclusive; however, they are hardy. If you're seeing burrows then the shrimp is fine, and you can always drop a little food into the burrow to keep him fed. I'd say don't go pulling things apart just to find them. They will show up...

Not keeping any of the few corals I have; left just trying to keep the fish in good shape while the tank is wiped.

I don't want to sell my fish, if I did I'll just leave the hobby. I'm not planning on manual removal, I tried and it's pointless there's so much I can't get it off the rock. I plan on throwing the rock and sand in the trash. I'm mostly interested in knowing wit anyone had a sterilization...

Well my point is that I've tried things and ignored it and it's but every time I look at my tank I'm disgusted. This has gone on for nearly a year and I need to resolve it.

I think there are some things that you can't fix without wiping the system clean what this is, is an example. No tangs for me and my wrasses would probably eat any hermits.

At some point I suspect I picked up a frag online and brought in bryopsis. I broke my tank down, scrubbed everything over the course of a day and put in all new sand and rocks. Everything was fine for a few months but my tank is now overgrown and I realized that it provides more hassle than...

I didn't think I had room either, but was able to stick out of the way under the bathroom sink. When I want to run it I just turn a valve off the cold water line.

Congrats on graduating. Maybe it's time to invest in a RODI unit?

The place on 6the ave does but I dunno what quality it is. Ocean Treasures also used to sell it, but I think there were limited times you could get it.

I got a nice gold maxima clam and frogskin coral from CA Reef Co.

Count me in. I love me some chalice.

Don't forget the LFS. I know CA Reef Co is having a sale this weekend m

My fish love New Life Spectrum pellets, but I primarily feed Rods Food. Rods Food has small pieces designed to feed corals and larger pieces for fish. I mostly use pellets when I'm lazy or when I want to give my wrasses some extra food.

Glad to hear it's working.

I beat cyan with a combo of chemiclean and lights out for 3 days. I used more chemiclean than the directions called for.

I stopped using crabs after the last of my hermits died of old age, but never had any trouble with shrimp. I found that if you're going to target feed LPS, you have to target feed the shrimp as well to distract them. Even when they did steal food, they didn't hurt anything that I could tell...
