The sand would be the issue. I've transfered sand before, but it must be a shallow bed that has been well-maintained. If it's a DSB or has not been...
I just wish my coral purchases didn't include hitchhikers that eat the corals!
Ahh, I missed that thread and was assuming the corals were healthy. :oops:
I've done that before with no problems, and as a matter of fact, I'm cycling another tank right now with rock from a system I tore down a couple...
Epicystis crucifer- goes by Rock, Flower, and Rock Flower Anemone.
The coral couldn't cause nitrates... was there a foul odor from the rock the colony is on when you had it out of the water? Also, was this a new...
White vinegar diluted with RO/DI water and a dedicated tooth brush. :D Rinse in RO/DI and it's safe.
Hard to say if there is a 'norm', but I kinda doubt it. However, I'm not sure if room temp has much to do with it. Tank temp and room humidity will...
When I lived in Florida back in the 1980s, I collected everything from the ocean and even used NSW from the same area. The only thing I purchased was...

Hi, Josh~ Does the coral have a skeleton that looks similar to this: Red Pipe Organ Coral If not, then it's most likely clove polyps. If so, then...
That could be a good sign. If they're getting that close, they may be getting ready to move in.
One big problem with seahorses and pipefish is that they demand a lot less current than most reef creatures, so if you go that route, you'll most...
Since you do have an RBTA in the tank, she might only be building her immunity to reside in it. Clowns do not have a natural-born immunity, unless...
Great looking corals, Jimmy. Keep the updates coming. :)
You're welcome. :)
The only problem with a clown choosing an LPS for a host is that most of them have rough, sharp skeletons and the clown's activity can cause serious...
