Tag it and bag it. RIP crocea.
-- edit after a trip to Radio Shack --- No stray volts or amps. I checked with each device plugged and unplugged.
The original lights were Odyssea PC's, 65W Actinic/65W 50/50.Now running Odyssea 250W MH/ 2x 65W Actinic PC. I don't see any physical signs of...
Well, the Pet Despot near my home is selling corals and anemones now. They have the saddest looking button polyps I have ever seen. My first reaction...
Is that like "never trust a dog with a black tongue"? +2 hairy. Get it out ASAP. If it's small and mostly white or blue, mayyyyybbeee ok.
Day two of the metal halide lights and WHOOOMMMM! I'm seeing stuff I've never seen before! Even the yellow gorgo, supposedly "low light" and...
No chemicals of any kind recently. Red slime remover last month, a few weeks before the clam was introduced and three water changes in between....
Could be sponges. (I have a lot of pineapple sponges) (http://www.3reef.com/forums/id/pineapple-sponge-50428.html) Could be snail eggs assuming you...

$275 later... 380W MH/PC installed, HOB skimmer and powerheads moved to fit the stand on, another 10% water change, burnt hand (hot lights!). I...
So here's the plan- mh lights, remove the powerheads with filter socks and replace with hydor. Keep or remove the canister?
I haven't tried a dip. On my way out the door to get a ground probe. The decline is so sudden (<10 hours) I don't know if lighting is the issue.
I didn't check the obvious- temp is 84F. I usually try to keep it 78-80 max. It was hot yesterday so I had a fan running. I turned it off after...
Hi all, I've had a crocea for about a month now, residing on the top rock and doing seemingly well. When I woke up this morning, it was severely...
