T5 (or less preferably PC) can be used to supplement and is a good idea for 10K, 12K and 14K MH bulbs, but with a 14K bulb, it's not necessary. I...
You have some algae, but it's really not bad at all, at least what I can see from the pics. The stuff on the sand looks like diatoms or the beginning...
If you want to keep the larger tangs (powder blue/brown, hippo, naso, sailfin etc.) I would get at least a 5" long tank. A 90 or 75 can house a...
New aquascape is much better looking IMO. It looks like your leather got pissed too from the move. Those blastos have some really nice color too.
The 90 will give you more options for fish, at least numbers wise, but keep in mind the only difference is the height (for standard tanks). IME, fish...
It depends, the fish may not pair up. If they do pair up, then the aggression will occur rapidly. As to when they will pair, it depends on their age,...
First, you need to do some water tests or have your lfs do some water tests (if you don't have any kits.) You will need ammonia, nitrite and nitrate...
I have to agree with Screwtape, it doesn't make a lot of sense for it to be growing on another coral's skeleton. It probably receded at some point...
I don't think it's a chalice, it does look like a scoly that has receded or is growing. My concern is that it may be receding and drying, or it's...
PC, you mentioned that it has grown very quickly in the week you've had it. I dont' think that's the case, it has just inflated more. Also, you can...
I would add the DI as soon as you can. If you can't afford it right now, then wait until you need to order replacement membranes.
That reasoning is a recipe for disaster. Just give it time, it will grow given the right conditions and to determine the right conditions, you need...
If it responds well to light, meaning it closed quickly when you put your hand over it to block the light, is a usual indication of good health....
I've used acrylic baffles in my sump and it's held so far (knocking on wood).
Do you have any pics under daylight bulbs?
I have T5s, but will switch to MH when I upgrade, can't beat that shimmer effect.
I have small specks of bright orange coraline. The only time I've seen coraline actually change colors is when you kill it. It will turn a...
Very nice looking coral. How long have you had it? My guess is that at the store, it wasn't fully inflated and is now. I never feed my lps and they...
I don't think that's a scolly, it looks much more like a trachyphyllia brain.
Very cool tank. However, you should try to paint the back so you don't see all of that equipment. It detracts from the tank IMO.
