What's a good led bulb ? I heard par 30 or 38 bulbs. What's your opinion? Thanks. I wanna be able to grow any type of coral. My tank is only 10 gallons. Standard tank.

These small white dots are randomly dispersed throughout my tank, I usually have to scrape them off, they kinda look like tiny white conical shells, and idea, and can they stay or should I continue to scrape them off during water changes ?

Just wanted to know if my coral looked healthy? They haven't been growing any just looking the same every day. The pics are below, I know the GSP is suppose to spread, but I'm not sure about growth pattern of torch coral. Thanks for opinions.

Why are my xenias doing poorly ? For the first 3 weeks they were great it seemed, now they are fully constricted and look pitiful. I moved them towards light source as a last act of a desperate man, which also has good water flow. The water temp is at 78.5, is that too high ?

Ever now and then I see a long purple leg with an orange tip stick out from my live rock then it goes back in. Just curious as to what it belongs to. Is it a worm ? A starfish ? Who knows, not me. I never bought either of those things.

I need to increase my water flow in my tank it's only 10 gal but my filter isn't doing a great job, and cheap suggestions ? I stress cheap. Lol.

I just spotted multiple tiny, insect like creatures in my tank. They are approx. 1 to 2 cm long, transparent, multiple legs and 2 antennae. They crawl on my live rock and I'm curious as to what they are and if they are harmful. If so how do I get rid of them and keep they away. Thanks.

How can I influence my GSP to move from frag onto live rock. It seems to just be growing vertically.

My Xenia's are struggling and this discourages me because they are suppose to be the easiest coral to maintain. I don't have extra cash to buy better lighting right now, which I think would help. I built a shelf to increase lighting distance, any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks Bobby

Any tips to enhance the growth of my GSP. My local aquarium store guy told me they grow very fast, but I'm not seeing it. I appreciate any tips. Also my xenias aren't growing fast either.

Starting to see algae in tank, primarily in center under main light source. Any tips to reduce levels of algae( inverts) , different lights, etc. Thanks.

What's the life expectancy on a par 30 bulb, considering it runs approximately 12hrs a day? I saw online 50,000hrs is that correct? If so that's amazing. That's 50,000 divided by 12 is 4000 days divided by 365 is 11 years !!!!! I'm terrible at math, someone tell me if this is correct or if I've...

I left the top off of my tank the other night after cleaning it, and the next morning found one of my mocha clowns dead outside of the tank. Not sure what caused the fish to jump out, I've learned my lesson on keeping the top on my tank. My question is, will introducing another mocha clown to...

Just noticed some white blobs on my live rock only 3 or 4 of them. They look like tiny corals but I thought I would see what you guys think. Here are a few picks. Focus on white spots.

Is it ok to place this office lamp over tank to add a little extra light? I know my light that came with tank is led, but I thought additional light during normal daytime hours might result in more/faster growth of coral in tank. Let me know what you think. Thanks

I watched my Candy Cane Neon coral release some brown contents today. I suppose it was just waste material. Am I correct? I've never had coral before so forgive me if this is a stupid question, obvious occurrences pertaining to coral elude me. Here's a link to video Check out this video on...

I'm new to salt water tanks, with that being said my 10 gal tank has been up for a little over a month. I added 2 mocha clowns about 3 weeks ago. One is a little larger than the other, which I assume is the female or will become the female shortly based on my Internet fish knowledge. Long...

When I introduced my new GSP frag the other day I saw small striped arms poking out from underneath the frag. It appears to be a small striped starfish. Does anybody know what kind? Or if it will ever emerge from frag? Does it get any larger? I know this is probably hard to say without a...

Just curious how long it takes for these corals to start showing growth and moving from frag onto my live rock. What are optimal foods? Also wondering if my GSP has too much water flow, check out this pic. Current seems to be pulling it off of frag holder. Didn't know if this was an issue...

I'm looking for a gobie that will sift the sand in my tank, but I also like the symbiotic relationship that the pistol shrimp and certain gobies have. Any suggestions to what gobie/ shrimp selection I should make? I have a ten gallon tank, with a GSP, Xenia , and candy cane neon frag. Two...

Just added; striped Xenia , candy cane neon, and green star polyp. Any tips on these corals would be appreciated since I'm new to the whole thing. Also I found a striped starfish clinging to the coral, and a small crab. I guess these won't be an issue for my corals.
