Welcome to 3reef! By filter I assume you mean a mechanical filter of some sort that catches and traps particles in the water. This could be a hang...
Awesome idea! K+ Clownfish won't host any anemone. It needs to be the right type. Here is a good reference for which clownfish host which anemone....
+1 on that. My first attempt at Xenia failed. They stopped pulsing and shrunk down to nothing. They literally kept getting smaller and smaller until...
Here are some measurements I made on different batches of mixed Coralife after aerating for 24 hours. Specific gravity 1.025. 6/19/09 Ca = 560 ppm...
About an hour after I got home today one of my BTAs decided to do the same thing. My tomato clown always looks really PO'd whenever it does this....
I have never seen them move like that on a daily basis. I have two now because my original split. Neither of them move at night or during the day.
+1 on the light shock theory. Give it time. +1 on it's a good sign that it is stuck to a rock and not rolling or floating around. Give it time.
I've been using it for the last year or so in my mixed reef tank. I have both SPS, LPS and softies. Coralife salt has been working great for me. I've...
That picture is not as bad as I expected. It looks like it is just expelling its old water. It should re-inflate soon. When mine has done this it...
Hard to say Andrew. Mine has, on occasion, decided to pick up and move for no apparent reason. In my case, however, it had been in my tank for well...
Looks normal to me. My BTA seems to go through periods where there are no bubbles at all. Mine actually looks more like your "after" picture most of...
Sounds like the lights then. I made the exact same upgrade in December and my coraline also declined. Coraline seems to like the actinic spectrum....
I also had a Coralife timer stop working after only a few months. They are junk. I now use three timers from Target. They cost less than $5 each.
Any change to your lighting? Increasing the lighting can cause a lot of it to die off before a higher light species takes its place. What about...
Thanks for the feedback all. I'll have to put one on my shopping list too.
Yeah they can certainly mimic the tides or waves. Certainly would look nice to see the soft corals sway. Just wondering if they actually help. Real...
I was wondering if any of you SPS growers have had any experience with wavemakers? If so, have you seen any benefit to using them? Did the health,...
They're in Carpentersville IL. A far west suburb of Chicago.
Didn't mean it to be a plug. Just trying to help others. I do see what you mean after rereading it though so I edited the post.
I haven't posted here for a long time. Tank has been pretty stable without a lot of activity. I had been holding out purchasing more SPS corals until...
