    Bleaching Acropora

    Here is a pick of one of the frags. Has a crab on top of it. I have been using Dr Tim's waste away for 8 months or so. I was trying to resove an hair algae problem. That particular issue resolved after a month or so. I am now using it for prevention only. It seem like they started bleaching...

    UV Sterilizer & Sumps

    I am not familiar with that coral life product. It could be shorter, as long as the design allows for the water to be exposed to the UV light long enough to make up the difference in length. The pump strength makes a difference also. I am sure the coralife is less expensive. The emperors will...

    UV Sterilizer & Sumps

    Emperor makes a good UV sterilizer. The longer the tube, the more beneficial they seem to be. However, they will not perform miracles such as curing ich or decimate an algae problem. They only give some prevention of these common problems.

    Plate coral bleaching

    I am sorry. The local fish guy called it plate coral. But it really is plate shaped montipora. They said to use bright light and lots of flow. I told him I had LEDs and asked if I should move it down or adjust the lighting. He said no. It has been in my tank one month, and I just have noticed...

The lfs store had it sitting in a square shallow tank with metal halides. It has been in my tank for 1 month using 100 % lighting leds...

    Hey from Baton Rouge

    My name is John. I have owned a 75 gallon reef tank for 6 months now. I have had some costly set backs. And have been thru the school of hard knocks thus far, but I feel like I have learned from my mistakes (At least for now lol). My fish listed are a fox face and a clown fish. My coral listed...
