If he was dead, and you have a good sized CUC, they would be all over him most likely. Id keep a CLOSE eye on it, as it WILL cause an ammonia spike when it goes. It does look like its going, or about to go. Start testing for ammonia and watching to see if anything starts picking at him. If you...

Im willing to bet the clown died and drifted over to the coral. Matt

Hello all, I got a nice Superman Montipora frag over a month ago and noticed about a week ago it was beginning to bleach. There are small spots that look like bare skeleton now. :-( Some details: I didnt do any light acclimation since it was under MH at the LFS. Despite being about 12in away...

I wish my AOGs and Nuclear Greens would grow like weeds! Matt

Id also keep him! Neat little guys that like your taste in zoas just as much as you do. :cool: Matt

Oh man, I know what you mean about too much HW! Got engineering tests and everything. My tanks have got the filmy dusty algae thing going on like no ones business! Got to find some time to get them cleaned up. Still doing the PWC though. Go get yourself a new coral...Thats what motivates me...

I cant imagine a nano tank with enough space to fit enough powerheads that could cause TOO much flow... How big a tank are we talking, and how many (and what kind) power heads do you have? A better question would be whether or not your setup is ideal for a particular fish. Matt

Are these clowns young? Mine developed spots on them when they were young. Little sea anemones sound like Aiptasias and they are very bad. Can you get a picture of them, and the spots? I believe clowns are not immune, but more resistant to stings than other fish due to a thicker slime coat. If...

Thats strange...All of mine are colored like that and none seem to hang around the corals. They are usually where the algae is at. I will keep a closer eye on them now though... Matt

Sounds like he died and is being eaten by critters. You ought to see a large foot coming from the bottom. If he is dead, id remove him as he will just add ammonia which will wind up as nitrates. Matt

Id be skeptical of anything from aquaCON. They are known for shennanigans. Id google those and see if they show up anywhere else. Matt

Yeap, I actually found that Liquid Nails makes a silicone alternative that is crystal clear. Works great for what I need, just takes FOREVER to harden such that the tackiness is minimal. Its not for aquarium use, it was for something else. I got ahold of a beta light (tritium vial) and wanted...

I believe its $6.00 per car. Once you go in, you cant leave and come back (as far as I know). Its much nicer than the public beaches in PC. PC is kinda trashy in my opinion, but going to the park is a MUCH better experience! A guy at my LFS had a little trap made from acrylic with a sliding...

Looks like green star polyps. If so they will spread all over that rock once happy. Maybe a good reason to keep that starfish! ;-) Matt

Lets hope so... I just lost a mini acropora colony to RTN for some odd reason. Something might have done a bad touch. :-( It was my least favorite, but still... So how would you say your leds are working out for you? Corals coloring up well? Matt

Careful putting crabs and snails in from over there...They look dangerous! I went to Saint Andrews and over where the large rocks that fisherman fish from, there are those blennies and really pretty damsels. You could catch them with a trap. I caught a pistol shrimp and took him home. He...

Reefs2go is always a gamble. I have had 5, yes FIVE, fish die from them as well as a pistol shrimp. I did get my tailspot blenny from them, and he is living large in his own 12in cube. Corals are always much smaller than pictured. They do honor their 14day guarantee though. Just dont get any...

About normal usually means perfect for algae/bacteria to thrive. :-) Any nitrates, phosphates, or silicates will feed algae. As you do your PWCs, youll remove the junk from cycling. That, along with sensible feeding, and you will be much cleaner. ;) Matt

Here is how I feel...If my neighbors caused a lethal fume problem, I would be all over them like flies on crap. This person obviously has no idea what they are doing, otherwise the fumes never would have become a problem. I have pets and reef tanks and all I need is fumes coming into my place...

Id be scared of someone building such a large tank that obviosuly is learning while he goes. :-D Seems he might be better off with a nano first. ;-) Matt

Yeap, the borealis is nice and has nice large polyps. The largest of all my SPS corals. ORA makes a good coral! Im dying to get one of those hawkins acros so bad. Either no one has it, or its crazy expensive! :-( Maybe I will gift myself a mini colony when I graduate with my EE degree! Matt

Thanks guys, they are doing well under the leds. Zer0-I dont think I have any hornets, but here is abother picture. They are under leds and fluoresce crazy. Also added some more corals. Fire and ice zoas and some other unknown zoas. Also added an acropora picture from my 20g tank (t5s)...

Acan and an "alien eye" favia. More to come when my other corals stop acting like emos. :-D

Here are some new pictures of my corals under leds! Took pictures and used auto white balance to fix them up. They still look better in person, but this is better than nothing! Mostly zoanthids, but an acan as well looking a bit mad. (I woke them up to get pictures). Pics go like this: Top...

The first kit is $250.00, which is $24.00 more than just buying everything separately (24 xr-e leds with optics and two dimmable drivers) and using power cables that most DIYers have laying around. The second kit is $235.00 which is still $9.00 more than buying separately. You can buy...
