There are different patterns on this frag ( lunar eclipse). Some at the top of the speckled galaxy patten and the some just a orange center like the...
The values you see for parameters are only a part of the cycle. It is measurable but other things go on that you do not see or can not measure. By...
If the tank has been running with sand in it for 3 weeks, and you have a value of 0 or ammonia and nitrite, you could do a water change. The water...
That changes things slightly. But you probably still do not have enough nutrifying bacteria to sustain fish without a possible ammonia spike. Did...
Wild colony acropora are usually considered expert. Some are very hard to keep. I steer clear of the wild pieces when I can. I find the aquacultured...
I think a closer macro shot would be good, in the mean time here is a link to zoanthid identification. CoralPedia.com! :: The definitive...
I target feed mine twice a week. [IMG] [IMG] I think they grow pretty fast, I am think of moving mine up, it seems to do better in the...
I think you should wait at least another week and retest. One week is not long enough. If you add 2 fish with little biological filter to support...
Hi, welcome to 3reef. :)
Starting mid to lower in the tank with monti has worked for me. I leave them their for about a week and move them up some. I would just leave it...
Sea urchin are broad cast spawners. It is highly likely your cute little guy was on a piece of rock from months ago and was either very small or...
I think a water change is in order. The ammonia may not kill them but it may cause enough stress that disease sets in. Feed a small amount once a...
Bummer Do not be too disappointed, you will come across monti frags routinely when looking for corals and you can usually get them for very cheap...
It is a beautiful tank. Thanks for sharing, since your frag thread I have been wanting to see pics of it. :)
Knee highs, works great and they are cheap.
I totally agree, try an island scape. :)
I have seen it grow faster in other tanks. Most say it has to encrust the plug before you get the vertical growth and I agree. And yes all my...
LOL that is nice. Six months from a 3/4 inch frag, and honestly that is some slow growth. I had to do some experimenting to get it to grow. :)
The RP is a good easy acropora and one of my top favorites. Once acclimated and encrusting it can grow quickly and offers a lot of color....
NP If you are into books The Reef Aquarium Volumns 1, 2 and 3, are great books. Some dated material but very good none the less. :)
