is it hard or soft? does it open up at all?

They are a great beginner coral, a little more interesting than most regular shrooms. Any "softie" coral will work in a tank set up for these with a few exceptions so i would say get lighting for these, maybe on the bright side. Then the path will be open for leathers, shrooms, zoas/palys and...

looks like Green star polyps for the 1st, 2nd looks like some type of encrusting chalace maybe? odd for it to be on the sand though.

you can try mixing up the flow in the tank so he will no longer prefer to be there.

Are you talking about a wave maker? Any lamp timer will work for simple on off

Not the coralline, it's hard to see but just to the left the the sea whip there are like little brown hairs

I have a thin layer of what looks like brown algae growing in my tank, its on the rocks and will accumulate on any rough surface that has a reasonable amount of flow on it. I thought it was cyano but its really not red and there is plenty of flow in the tank so I think that might be in incorrect...

That seems like it will work, but it's not really a "deal" IMO and you dont know what you are getting. Check out odyssea lights, they are cheap and are relatively well known.

The LEDs you got with the tank are most likely not high powered enough to grow corals. Unless they are explicitly labeled "reef-ready" or you can get a model number and figure out some specs on them, i wouldn't chance it. Reef capable LEDs are a bit pricey, but pay themselves off over time with...

Have you bothered to search anything before asking these questions? 1. no 2. no 3. no, normal is fine 4. Will you survive in a low oxygenated room? most likely but youll hate your life the entire time. 5. dont know, i wouldnt try it though 6. 2 clowns would need to be in a rather large...

just upload them to your profile and then you an paste them in here, or upload them to imgur and paste a link here. From how you describe it, it may be a anemone or some type of worm.

Today i did a 10% WC, cleaned salt creep off light glass, cleaned glass, re arranged shaving brush and se whip. Just a basic Sunday

+1 on this, i have a 4 bulb 24" and all of my lps and softies are going great

I think youll find that the animals in on-line CUCs are quite small compared to what you think of as a normal size. So keep that in mind when ordering.

How big is the tank and are you going to be adding coral or not? Without this info its hard for me to suggest individual fish. Clowns are cool for sure( especially some of the crazier color forms), but there are some REALLY cool fish out there that you may not see at first. Dragonettes are...

what camera/lens are you using? Those are some crazy macro shots through the glass.

pool sand has a lot of silicates( rincing cant get rid of everything, so youll be back to the large diatom bloom if you go that route. I just got a mix of really fine, crushed aragonite, and a bag of live sand mixed up, gives the sand a nice natural look IMO.

just replae one of the bulbs in your light with an actinic of the same size/ wattage

Aqua Medic Aquasunspot LED Aquarium Light at PETCO ( the 7w version) Does anyone have an experience with this light? Im setting up a 5g pico reef and need lighting. I have a 50$ giftcard to petco so I would prefer to buy one from there, but if it wont work then I'm open to other options. I've...

nope they will do just fine without one

You've inspired me to take the 5g tank i've had sitting empty in the other room and set it up on my desk.

Red slime is also called cyanobacteria and it is caused my excess nutrients in your water. Do a few PWC and increase flow in the affected areas if possible( dont blast a softie with direct flow). You can also siphon it out with airline tubing, but it will just come back until you fix the...
