Yeah, I saw that...I don't believe it. :lol: I'm not a fan either. I use Fauna Marin Magnesium chloride and add a sniff of Epsom.

The trouble with halides is that a lot of people who would normally buy halides are buying LEDs instead. Personally, I would buy halides over LEDs any day. However, I'm in the minority. Someone...

The simplest answer is to start using a brand of salt that has parameters close to what you're aiming for in your tank. High alkalinity was one of the reasons I switched away from using IO in reef...

I would suggest you get a juvenile, not a bigger special order one. You don't know the history of a bigger one. It could certainly have already paired with an even smaller one, and could certainly...
