Water changes are the key. Dosing and checking parameters are huge too. When I first got into Reefing 4 years ago I would buy all kinds of coral and fish. And the would DIE.... Started researching, doing weekly water changes, dosing, and checking parameters and hey what do you know everything...
Hey Orion I don't know if you got your frag but I just dropped off a huge colony of green nepthea to aquatic collection that they will be fragging out.

The cycle begins got it all plumbed and filled with water after about three trips to home depot. I have been adding microbacter from brightwell for three days to hopefully speed up the process. Does anyone know where i could score a bunch of different macro algaes. I already have a bunch of...
