Hi there. How long has your tank been set up? Why are you looking to increase your cuc? Are you having an issue? I'd go for a few different types of snails. Cerith, nass, astera (sp). Variety is the key.

Sounds like you are doing good. What are your stocking plans? How long are you running your lights a day?

Beautiful!!

Sounds like you've gotten good advice

Not sure how much the corals would like the lesser flow though. Lots to think about.

Seahorses would be fun. Hard to keep thou. Such a bummer.

Ooooo. New tank! Stocking plans? Please let it be something cool....

Lobsters are boring bullies. They hide. They eat their tank mates.

Watchman gobies sift sand but don't make a mess. Yeah, no scopas or lion. Banggais are fun, love mine.

Hmmm, so she has 3 reef tanks and uses the same tap water as you and does not have nitrate issues but you do? Very, very puzzling.

They've got the 4 year itch? Weird stuff. I think it's amazing when people's clowns get along.

Ahhh, I love to see a shiny new tank. Is that a structure of rock scaping??? Sweeeet

It's not harmful or helpful. It's just coralline algae. Looks pretty on your rocks. Annoying on the glass. Comes in many different shades of pink, purple and reddish.

I like the clear glass look too and I tried it for a while, got sick of looking at my hob skimmer and cords. Soooo glad I painted it. BUT, everyone is different.

Check out liveaquaria.com or reefs2go.com Tons of blenny pics you can compare to.

It's a damsel. They are aggressive. Damsels are very difficult to keep together. OR with other fish. :( What size is your tank?

Glad it worked out ok for you!

Coraline algae. You'll need to use a razor blade. They even have these blades that attach to magnet cleaners. Very helpful. Ug, how I hate the pink dots.

+1 Aquarian. I used a filter pad on the screen of middle chamber, changed it a couple of times a week when I had my 14 gallon. It's not necessary but it's nice to catch some junk, you just have to change it frequently or it'll cause a nitrate problem. But you don't need to be treating your tank...

I would not be adding chemipure or anything while cycling. Or at all.
