Appreciate all the tips, folks. Gonna start slow with the CO2 and grab a pH controller this weekend. My acros better appreciate this hassle.

Start slow with the CO2, like 1 bubble per second. Test your alkalinity every few hours to see how it's affecting the tank. I run mine at 1.5 bps for a 150-gallon system, but every setup's different. What's your current alk level?


My alk's at 7.5 dKH right now. I'll try the 1 bps and test like ...

I'm setting up a calcium reactor for my 120-gallon SPS tank and wanna make sure I don't mess it up. Got a Reef Octopus CR140, but I'm sketchy about the CO2 bubble rate. How do y'all dial it in without nuking the tank?

Hi,

I'm considering adding a small Scooter Blenny to my Lynxo Aquarium setup. Given I already have 2 clowns and 2 cleaner shrimp, I'm unsure if this would be overloading the system. If it's viable, I'd appreciate any insights from members who keep this species, particularly regarding their ...

You'll need a proven male and female to keep together, otherwise you'll have problems.

I'd recommend getting a Feeding Clip and feeding Nori sheets, they're readily available at your local fish store.

I recently came across a really nice elegance coral, but I decided not to buy it due to the concerns I had about their health. If I see another one in the future, I wanted to know if it's worth taking the chance, and I appreciate the feedback from everyone.

Sounds like the infection risk has decreased significantly, making it a more viable option to consider purchasing an elegance coral now.
