    What to get?

    also just a helpful suggestion if you are gonna want any smaller fish in the future i would get them first before getting any more tangs or larger fish, some tend to get very territorial. thats the way i went with my 75g i got 2 baby O. clowns and then got a lawnmower blenny, a 6 line wrasse...

    switching Bio-balls to LRubble in my wet/dry???

    also would washing the bio-balls be bad in the fact that it removes the good bacteria or good as in it will remove the built-up trates? like what im afraid of is washing them off then having all of my parameters go outta whack.

    after every water change do i have to put salt in

    yea i dont know if i am reading wrong or not but is does sound like you are placing freshwater into your tank then adding the salt to bring the SG up? well if thats the way your are doing water changes i suggest you go with the route of setting your water aside with a powerhead and a heater...

    switching Bio-balls to LRubble in my wet/dry???

    also how about this if i leave my bio balls in but below the grate add as much LRubble as i can, and i do plan on adding either a 10g or 20g refugium when i have the time and money so i kinda want to steer away from turning my wet/dry into a refuge.

    switching Bio-balls to LRubble in my wet/dry???

    k heres the deal... first question is why does every forum preach to switch bio-balls with LRubble? also what is the process of doing so? like with the bio-balls they aren't submerged do you need to have the live rock submerged? should i take out my little grate that holds up my bioballs...

    how to reduce saltwater nitrate

    the rubble that i would get from my lfs, actually all the live rock he sells, is kept in a tank with a bunch of damsels and a LMB so would this make any difference rather then just being just rock in a tank with a skimmer? he said that having the fish and stuff in there it makes the rock have a...
