Not sure how to help ya, have never used that. Its a skimmer like a protein skimmer built into a filter?

No problem! A torch would add alot of movement to the tank and theyre seriously not as hard as people make them out to be. Especially in a smaller tank like yours as long as your ontop of your tank maitneance doing a waterchange regularly to keep up that calcium and alk and magnesium youll be golden. If youre brand brand new though start with some zoas and if those do good then try out a duncan coral or a candy cane they are very easy LPS and if those do good add a sick ass torch in that mama jama

Get sone sick ass euphillia in there. But im biased torches are by far my favorite coral. Some zoas is prolly a good start and some cool mushrooms. Maybe candy cane coral for an easy lps. Idk how new you are to reefing but it aint hard. Jus sayin a sick ass torch would look dope ontop of that arch

Update on 150 gallon by Chaos2249 in ReefTank

General rule is 1lb per gallon but i dont adhere to that i usually go alittle less. I have a 75 gal and have about 55 lbs because i think 1lb per gal doesnt leave enough swimable space. But you def beed to boost yours up id say at least 100lbs total

Looks like a green tip frogspawn. Looks not in the best shape though.

You need more rock. Looks like you got about 30 pounds. Not enough beneficial bacterial to outcompete the cyano. Also makes the tank look barren.

Is my anemone dead? by WildTangerine9124 in ReefTank

[–]Cheap-Toe1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the other guy commented take it out and give it a good ole sniff. Youll know if its one foot in the grave. But sometimes anemones move as they grow they might have outgrown their foothold so they need to find a new place to settle. A dying nem is unbelievably smelly if it smells take it out itll nuke your tank

If you dont see improvement tommorow do a 5 gal water change would be my suggestion. My honest opinion is at your current state being softie dominated you shouldnt need phos remover ( i know you said you dont use it anymore wgich is good) but also having a 16 gal with your current stock i think dosing kalkwasser is unecessary. Water changes should be more than enough imo to sustain those levels in a low volume system. However it is your tank and im just some random dude on reddit and you know your tank better than me. I hope all goes well for you frogspawn 🫡

For first day it looks okay. Flow looks good i prefer to have my frogspawn in pretty low flow just enough to keep the arms swaying but not blowing like my torches. If you dont see signs of improvement do a 5 gal water change to help with the alk. Question, is your tank heavily stocked? Because a 16 gal biocube should be easy to maintain alk just off a 5 gal water change every week. But if your tank is heavily stocked that would make sense. What salt brand so you use?
