    Fragging torch coral

    What is the best way to do this? Has anyone attempted it? It has three heads, one that looks like I can slice right through the skeleton without doing any damage. Thoughts?

    Need bio cube help?? I'm your guy.

    I hope this worked. I took 4 pictures of my tank today. I had an amazing amount of coralline, and I had an asternia star attack. Fortunately that is now taken care of and the growth is coming back again. I have had my tank for two years now and have gone through everything. Algae blooms...

    This is as of 10/24/10. Yes I know, there is a hippo tang in there. I have had him in there for 2 months now and have had no problems. If you want to bash me for having it in there I understand. My wife loves the fish and I promised myself that if I saw it starting to have problems or...

    red linckia sea starfish

    I just purchased a red linckia sea starfish. It is doing well so far. I know all about the PH changes and such, but I was wondering what could possibly hurt the starfish. Any types of corals or inverts or fish? Thanks.

    Need help, quick!

    There is a syllidae worm eating my coral at night. I watched him suck star polyps out of the mat. I could actually see the green piece of star polyp go down his worm body. I need to act quick before it munches it all away. I'm assuming this is what has been eating my zoas as well! ANY...

    t5 HO up and running!

    So my aquatic life t5 HO 24" light came yesterday and is up and running. The difference is quite obvious. The corals are brighter and fuller and the colors on the fish have really come out as well. So far there hasn't been much change in the temperature. I cannot wait to get some corals that...

    Sunpod HQI

    So, I am going through lighting issues still and I am leaning more towards the HQI then the LED lighting. In talking to my LFS here on Long Island, he convinced me that the LED's are not proven long term yet and that the HQI lighting we know is solid. Anyone know anything about this sunpod...

    T5 Lighting

    I see there's been some talk on here about lighting. I guess this post could go into the nano forums as well but I figure there's a bigger population of reef people reading these posts. I have a 29 gallon bio cube. Look at my profile if you want to see my tank. I would really like to get...

    Live Rock Question!

    I know a lot of you have seen the pictures I just put up and have commented on how clean my tank is, thank you! The thing that still boggles my mind, is the amount of dirt and stuff that comes off my live rock EVERY DAY! I am constantly using a turkey baster to blow dirt off. It doesn't look...

    JBJ Viper K2 1501W

    Does anyone know much about this light? Would it be ok for my 29 gallon bio cube? My concern would be the metal halide heating up my water to much. I would love to start getting some SPS corals for tank, I feel I am ready and my tank is established enough. Any ideas? *mistake in the title...

    I was wondering if anyone has ever bought coral online?? I have a wonderful pet store on Long Island that has a ton of corals, but I see a lot on the internet that I like that he doesn't have. So, if anyone has bought online, where did you buy it from and how has your experience been...
