Does anyone have any experience with the Melanurus Wrasse? I'm interested in getting one.

Can anyone tell me what this is or these are? I originally thought it was a worm but upon closer inspection there are breaks menaing it is not completely conected. It looks like they may be eggs and I noticed that the Cerith Snail nearby has not moved since I noticed it a few hours ago. My guess...

A pretty basic question. On the Frag Discs there are two sides. One is very smooth and the other is very rough. when fragging corals which side do you glue the coral to, or does it matter? The rough side or the smooth side. I have a piece of green digi that broke off and will make a perfect frag.

I have a green with purple rim cap and a frag fell down between the rocks. It wasn't large enough for me to break down the tank to get so I left it for about a month. I recently re-aquascaped my tank and was able to get the frag out. The problem is that it is now white and doesn't look too good...

I am interested in both fish but know I can only get one for my tank. I like the Royal Gramma better but hate the idea that I will not see it most of the time. Is the Black cap more likely to roam the tank or will it hide as much as the Royal Gramma?

I just purchased a coralife turbo twist UV sterilizer. I want to feed the UV with water coming from my cannister filter (Fluval 405). The Cannister is rated at approximately 300 gph and currently runs from the floor 4' up to the back of the tank. I now expect to run it to the UV and then to the...

I've added a few sps frags :D to my tank over the last month or so and I notice my calcium levels have decreased :cry: . The last two times I tested the readings were at 350 and I've had one reading of 320. I change about 15% (considering the water in the sump) of the water weekly. I want to...

Did everyone in the tri-state area make it through the storm alright? More lightning then I've ever seen in my entire life. On the 11 pm news they stated that there were over 100 strikes in 15 minutes during the telecast.

Was the sight available last night? I couldn't connect at all.

How often do you clean your skimmer and pump?

I just purchased a Mangrove plant for my fuge :D . Is there any special care I need to take in order for it to grow? How far into the water should I place the roots? Should they go into the sand? My understanding is that the roots will grow down and eventually reach the bottom. Currently the...

I've had a six line wrasse for about a month now and though he constantly swam around, it was always through the caves and tunnels in he back of the tank. I would see him but only for a second or so at a time. Over the last couple of days he has begun swimming out in the open more. Still goes...

I have a kenyan tree coral and it is growing uncontrollably. It drops branches every two days or so and continues to grow. I've fragged them but I can't keep up. It grows faster than a weed. It does look good though.

I need a recommendation on a 175w Metal halide lamp. I'm leaning toward the Iwasaki 15k bulb. Can anyone recommend this or another bulb? I currently have 2 175w MH bulbs and 2 110w vho actinics. Please indicate reason for recommendation.

I just got back after being away on vacation from Wednesday to Saturday. My wife performed a top-off for me on Friday. She didn't feed the fish but they were fine. They were all okay and at well today when I fed them. The tank was a little dirty though moreso than normal. I don't understand...

Well we just had a power outage earlier tonight and luckily it only lasted 1 1/2 hours. Naturally I suffered through it, not knowing when the power would return. The power returned before any damage was done and when the lights came on I was able to see all kinds of critters I've never seen in...

Can someone tell me the names of these items?

Quite a few pieces of my LR has turned a beautiful shiny lime green color. The tank has been up and running for about 2 or three months now. Their is also purple coraline algae growing over some of the green pieces and also on the powerheads. is this green coloring normal? To be honest, the...

I have frogspawn that has many heads. Earlier this evening I noticed one of them (a smaller newer one) fell off the main skeleton. It is now lying on the sand. Is this normal? What should I do with it? Could I just stike it in the sand or attach it to a small rock?

My next purchase/installation will be an auto topoff system. Which one do you use and what are the available choices/recommendations?

I have a 120g tank and lose at least 2 gallons of water daily, maybe more. I have a canopy that is open in the back, and a 40g sump. I have two 175w MH lights which stay on about 8 hours a day, two 110w VHO actinics which stay on about 10 hours a day, a 75w light for the fuge that along with the...

I like the Sailfin, Purple, and the Desjardini Tangs. Is a 120g tank large enough for Tangs, and how many? Can the three be kept together?

Rowaphos or phosban. I'll look for them tomorrow. I knew the po4 was high and was worried about the alk also. Glad I only need to look into the po4 at this time. thanks guys

Came home today to find two boxes on my front stairs. Finally, my koralia 4's have arrived after a 3 week wait. Initial observations? So far they are terrific. The flow is much wider than the Nano 6045 and seems to cover a larger area. The only negative is the size. They are much bigger than the...

My tank is in the cycling stage and I expect to house corals of all types. Considering I want to have a blood shrimp I'm looking for recommendations on the following: - When can I add a cleanup crew? - Which inverts should be included? - How many of each?
