Hey guys I just wanted to mention that there is a reef club for enthusiasts in Kentucky. BigBlueReef.com. We have regular meetings and hope to organize a frag swap this year. I'm sorry if this post is not in the correct area. Thanks.

I have had this for a few months. It has sprouted new branches and is doing great. It is very fuzzy. It has more hair like polyps than any other Sps I have seen. Any ideas on what it is? Someone told me green slimer but I'm not sure that is correct. The green slimer I have seen do not have...

I run multiple reef tanks. I have a blue hippo that i want to cupermine (copper) treat in a bare bottom qt tank. My question is, how dangerous is it? If I get it on my hands messing with the qt, will I hurt my reef tank the next time i'm in it even after washing my hands? Sorry for the...

Is this a starfish? I have some zoas that have been receding for a little bit. I need some coral rx. I was inspecting it to see if I could find anything. This was balled up and I thought it was a snail shell but it flattened out and looks like a star now. It was wrapped around a zoa polyp...

Hey guys, I'm setting up my 3rd saltwater tank as a fowlr tank. It is a 180 and has a 60 gallon sump. I have two reef tanks already. I am looking for stocking advice for the 180. I would like: Emperor angel Blue Hippo Tang Sailfin Tang Two false perc clowns. Maybe a moorish idol - talk...

Any idea what this is?

Does anyone have a solution to the lights kicking the gfic plug? I had to take my lights off my gfi because whenever the timer would turn on the lights it would blow the gfi. So everything except my lights are gfi.

I'm considering a controller but I'm wondering if they are worth the cash. If you think they are worth it, which controller do you recommend? I see they monitor ph and temp. What are the other benefits? Thanks.

Any idea what these guys are? There are two little red polyp looking things on my rock. Doesn't appear to be forams. It does not look like zoas.

I want to add a skimmer to my 75 with a 20 gallon sump. The problem is the stand is short. It has close to 20 inches of room. So I really need a skimmer that is about 18 inches tall and has a low clearance to get the cup off. I think just a normal hob skimmer will be under powered for 95...

So how toxic are these things to fish/coral? We got a little bit in the water when we added pods to our reef tank. Did a 5 gal water change but I'm a little worried.

Anyone have a positive id on this sps? I just got him.

Bought a green long tentacle plate coral today. He was withdrawn where I met the person and it was already bagged. It is definitely alive but hasn't fully extended today. It has a lot of little white webbing on it. Looks like long strings of spider webs. Any idea what this white webbing is...

Any stocking ideas for a 75 fowlr? It is cycled and I have 3 green chromis in it. I want a clown, diamond goby. I'm open to ideas of cool fish for the rest. I want to avoid stingers like lion fish and fox faces. I like puffers but most require a big tank. I was thinking a blue dot but he...

I picked this up today. Do you think it is nephthea? I'm referring to the bright green one. Sorry. I need a better picture if just it.

Hi, I have an Odyssea metal halide fixture that is currently running a 20,000k bulb it also has 2 24 watt t5ho with a 10000k and an antic (not very blue though). I think I need replace the mh bulb. The color is a little yellow. It has 4 blue leds that work great at night but seem invisible...

I picked up a new torch coral today at my lfs. I think it is only one head but he was the only one out. There were a couple of other frags that had multiple heads but they were closed up. He didn't close up on the way home or when i put him in the tank. Is something wrong with him? I...

Have a 40 gallon breeder with the following coral stock: 3 small orange montipora frags. Small piece of Frogspawn with two heads. Galaxea Coral about palm sized. Several mushrooms of various types. A frag of red/yellow zoas with about 20 heads. A Kenya tree. A few button polyps. Small...

Hey, I'm setting up a 75 gallon tank. It has a cracked center brace. I'm working on reinforcing it so it does not bust out. I wanted to get some feedback on the best method of reinforcement. The crack runs with the brace (not horizontally across). Options: 1) loctite bond the plastic...

I purchased this coral last night from a person breaking down their tank. He said it was a galaxea but it doesn't look like the pics I find online. I just put it in the tank so it is retracted. It looks very dark with yellow tips. I have seen feeder tentacles on it before he removed from...

Hi, I have a mushroom in my tank that parts are not looking good. I have a 40g breeder tank with 2 t5 bulbs and a 250w metal halide. I have had the mushroom 3-4 weeks and it has been doing great until the last few days. It is very wilted looking on a couple of polyps. I noticed they had little...

I noticed yesterday one of my coral beauty's eyes looked swollen and cloudy. Today the other one looked like that. Any idea what the problem is? Tank params look good. He had ich. I took the fish out of the dt and put them in qt with copper for two weeks (followed the directions on the...

My 40g breeder was looking great. It has been up about 6 weeks but I wasn't running the lights. I picked up my first coral over the weekend (mushroom) and started running the lights. That brought a huge diatom outbreak. Any idea how long this typically lasts? How long should I run my lights...

I just finished the group buy with BRS. Awesome btw, I snagged some nice stuff at a discount. Do we do group buys with other places? I'm thinking of ordering from reefcleaners, but the shipping is expensive. Let me know if we're in a group buy somewhere that I can snag some cheato and some...

I picked up some live rock. One rock has several of these. Any idea? The are little red and bumpy looking.
