    All aragonite or should I mix

    Aragonite is the current "in thing" but there is no strong evidence that it works better than crushed coral or even bare bottom. Each requires a...

    Water Ionizers?

    Pink Anthias Post Mortem questions

    It is probably just a coincidence. Was the fish mature when you got her? If so she may have been several years old already, and the expiration age...

    When I say moved, it seamed to "creep" about an inch over the coarse of a week or so.

    Can't get it up?

    Actually, a calcium reactor could be the problem. Make sure you are testing the PH of the effluent as it comes out of the unit. If your CO2 is set...

    Awkward Bta Anemone

    It is unlikely that he is in too much current, my BTA plays in the return. If he is new to the system, though, he might just be getting used to his...

    Please Wish Me Luck

    What the????

    I had one that seamed to be the same thing. It was not a sponge. It moved, albeit very slowly ... like some corals might. It had the texture of an...

    MH too hot for me?

    Wow, 4 feet by 3 feet? If I'm not mistaken, that would make it only about 10-12" deep to keep it an 80 gallon. That seems, well ... unlikely. The...

    Lighting Poll!

    I say no. Sure you could get the corals to adapt, but what will it gain you? If you were doing a strictly SPS and Clam tank, then it might be...

    Do you shop more on the Internet or the local fish store?
