Honestly, I'm really confused as to what caused all of this. You put the torched rock in a separate tub, right? If there's no live rock in the tank and you did a 100% water change, what's causing the...

Interesting to me that people are recommending you ditch the baffle idea!! It seemed standard to me, but now maybe I'll have to re-think my own future plans and just buy some filter socks.

As you...

I guess I should have begun with the fact that I'm manually dosing now--I have no reactors or anything. That is truly the poor man's method :D

I'm a little confused--the live rock isn't in the 14G with the corals, right? What's causing the ammonia spike in the tank?

Are there fish in there, as well?

Why all the reactors?

I'm wondering why more people spend the time/money/energy with calcium and kalk reactors, and don't use the balling method with a good peristaltic dosing pump (Liter Meter, Aqua Medic, etc.)?

I think importing captive-bred specimens only would be a grand gesture. But is there any way for you to know if they're captive-bred or not?

I kept Montipora Capricornis alive with PC lighting, but its colours faded. HO T5 or Metal Halide would be the minimum for SPS to thrive.

I would say the biggest favor you can do for your tank is to perform regular water changes! Once a week would do wonders, if you're not already.

Speaking of...what IS your maintenance schedule?
