My Oct 24 entry.

Food for torch corals

Now that I seem to have fallen into the rabbit hole called torch obsession, I'd like to see what others are feeding specifically for their torch corals. Is there a single go to food? Or do you combine foods. I occasionally use Benepets.

What is a sure fire way of irradiating algae from your tank?

Hey guys! Just wondering if you have tips or tricks for completely getting rid of algae in a system. I’ve already done a strip clean, but it keeps coming back on my sand bed. Could overfeeding cause it? Too much light? Wrong spectrum? Please comment below if you have advice!

Corals dying - is it salinity, phos, or alk?
