Make sure you insulate them!! Dont want them shorting out !!

I once spent ages making blue moonlights in different ways. I tried high intensity LEDs - soldering them together on a batton, I tried cold cathodes etc...etc... In the end it was far cheaper and easier and more timely to just buy a strip of waterproof high intensity LEDS, they come complete for...

OhZer0, I dont mean to be pesomistic but this really doesnt sound good. Are the tentacles still coming out as normal? Is it still feeding? How long you had it? and what sort of flow is it in? I would of thought anything in there would either have been eaten or stung and rejected. I have a hammer...

Good Link!! - not seen that many variants myself before, however not all very millipede looking are they?

High Nitrates? Phosphates?.... My Nitrates and Phosphates are completely under control thanks to Vodka!!:D

Millipede looking thing?????..... Hi, I was just reading what you said about hair algae and then noticed your comment about a Millipede looking thing, there is only one Millipede type looking thing I know of, and I have one, and its a nightmare!!!! Have you ever heard of a Mantis...

I have never done it that way but yes, i guess you could just cut a "pizza" shape from the head and it will probably grow on and main coral will likely grow back in time and heal. I would not cut into the base though or you will risk killing it. very sharp scissors should be the weapon of choice...

Green Stuff.... They look like a type of star polyps to me, I have 3 types in my tank, it will typically spread steadily around bare rock, up the side of the tank or wherever - looks like grass and "blows to and fro" in the flow of water, a great addition to any reef - easily kept as long as...

leather talk (lol) I had my clowns trying to host my leather until i got them a sand anenome (which doesnt move around tank, only the bottom - so no risk of powerhead fatality), and that used to make it shut down regularly. It maybe "shedding" as you have moved it(?) a typical leather defence...

Feeding Habits... hair algae :eek2:WOW !!! that is some overnight outbreak !!!!! I have had a small outbreak of hair algae and am acting on it, one thing i always do and suggest is to defrost your mysis block and strain it through a sieve or dry it out on kitchen roll before feeding. Alot of...

Theres nothing wrong with change!!, just be aware of consequences, do you feed your leather?, do the polyps come out?... I have a luminous green headed leather about half way up the tank and my 4 baby common ones on the bottom and all the polyps are out permanently, i add frozen Liquid LIfe...

Hi there, Your leather coral doesnt need to be close to light to grow, in fact leather corals will grow in quite dimly lit aquaria in comparison to other corals. It will grow just as well from the bottom of your tank as it does half way up!! My baby leathers are on a piece of rock on the sand at...

Hi, Is he overfeeding his fish?, is the tank getting sunlight during the daytime? Have you checked for phosphates? and nitrates? Just an idea....

Sick Leathers... Hi, In response to the question about your leather and if you should remove it or not, I would leave it a week and see how it goes. It wont release or rot any bad toxins into your tank, it will have done that already. When they get freaked out or get stung by other...

No, never tried MAC, i do have a good desktop but am in lounge at min - am about to turn this thing into a 3d jigsaw!!

nice set up - great pipework

Excuse me, and my laptop!! its running terribly at min, hence my reply to your reply of my reply!! it crashed out and I didnt realise it had posted!! You could use sand in tank with critters to clean it through. sorry i never read your postings through properly, i saw your tank empty and...

filtration......... Looking good, what are you doing for filtration? I suggest wier, sump and DSB if your keeping corals....:new-alien:

Just as a point of interest, how are you going to filter this set-up?? If your going to set up a reef tank, and its currently empty, i would strongly suggest you drill the tank and fit a wier with a dorsel and DSB sump as this is by far the best and easiest to maintain, all your skimmers...

Just as a point of interest, how are you going to filter this set-up? if you are starting a Reef tank and it is empty - I would drill the tank anduse a DSB sump, its by far the best and least trouble once running....

One of the worst hitchhikers Ive ever had is a mantis shrimp which has over a period of time eaten countless shrimps, starfish, and mall fish... oh and yes my baby lobster!! Despite all my traps and efforts (incl removing the rock it was believed to be in) It lives on, ive seen it twice in two...
