I have plans to go leave home for a while. I'm not sure when I'll be back and sometimes I may not even be able contact my family.
I love my aquarium so much. I want to train my family to care for it while I'm away but I understand it's a pretty unreasonable ask.

My question is. The live rock that came from that tank (still wet). Is it safe to put into a new tank? I know I need to clean it and...
We all know that the reef hobby can be very expensive - the sky really is the limit when setting up your new system. We've all been in scenarios where we've wanted something that's just out of our budget and we start thinking about the things we can sell, or how we promise ourselves to be more...
