An easy way to acclimate an entire tank is to use window screen, the black ones. Cut layers to fit over the tank. You may want to start with 3-5...
Good start so far. My only concern is about your sand. Is it meant for aquariums or is it a "play" type sand. You should not use silicate based sand...
The toxins are usually limited to soft corals. You want to watch out for lps coral's sweeper tenticles. They can sting other corals and kill parts of...
Where did you hear that xenia was 50/50? In my experience and nearly everyone elses it grows and thrives like crazy. Now, it doesn't ship all that...
I believe ReefGuru was referring to the turn over in the sump, as in this conversation, the turnover in the DT is irrelevant. Using the mag 9 should...
I gotta agree here, nice looking corals and I'm sure you got a deal.
What is $45?
It most likely wont' come back, not from that. I had some blastos in my tank and they died, leaving only a little green center, I left them like that...
Try to feed it when it's tenticles come out. It doesn't look great, but it also doesn't look terrible. I have found favia to be fairly hardy as mine...
They look bad, especially the open brain. When you frag an lps coral, you generally cut the dead skeleton. You can cut actual polyps, such as favia,...
You may want to look into a nitrate coil. What kind of fish do you have? How many?
If your worried about the rocks on the bare bottom, you can put some "eggcrate" down, then put the rock on that, then sand. Although I originally put...
The first link doesn't give a price, unless it's really a dollar, and the second one isn't a bad deal. I prefer dry base rock anyways, as you know...
Your tank isn't mature enough to adequately house an anemone, particularly with that small of a tank. Be careful that it doesn't die in your tank, as...
I don't think the first one is a clove polyp, it looks like a blasomussa merleti and it looks dead IMO. The next 2 seem to be some polyps, zoas or...
Don't know if you guys saw this video or not but it's really cool. This guy is in fiji and walking around at low tide and you can see all of the...
Do you dose Ca, Alk or mg? If not, you may want to start or at least look into that. It will help keep your parameters at correct levels.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. The "before' green psamacora was taken about a year ago. The greenish chalice was taken about 9 months ago, the rest...
Scrub away, you may kill some coraline but it will regrow. This is one of the reasons I prefer base rock verse live rock.
New Pics and updates Well I thought it would be about time to update my tank pics and new additions. I have gotten some nice growth so hopefully I...
