That's ridiculous. In the UK it seems to be posh acropora and fancy zoas that are the current fad

It's my first one. I can't believe the colour under blues. It's almost unnatural

Here's my chalice

I was lucky enough to pick up a golden chalice yesterday for £15 (about $20) It's 7 inches by 4 inches and now my centre piece. What's your best coral bargain?

Thanks mate :-)

Hello. I managed to splash the PSU to my lights whilst doing some maintenance. I got an interesting electric shock when I plugged them back in. I'm currently drying the PSU out the best I can (submerged in a bag of rice with a fan blowing at it) I can't be the first person to do this, has anyone...

I bought new test kits. Tested ca and mg twice and the solution didn't even change colour. It would appear my ca and mg are off the scale

Mr Tap. If it is shadowing, which I'm leaning towards, how does one combat that?

The frustrating thing is, I would have said my water was! Back to daily testing again

What can I do to re-reverse this Hank?

I'm pretty sure my temp which is controlled is constant. Also the kH is tested twice weekly with very little deviation. I'll test NO3 and see where that is. I've never tested PO4, ever!

Sadly I can't post any pics. Over the last month my sps, serriatapora guttatus and green hystrix have been bleaching at the bottoms half. My alk is 9.2 Ca 430 Mag 1340 SG 1.025 Temp 26. My tank is 2 years old. My flow is from a gyre 130 and lights are a razor 180. My LPS is growing like crazy!

That was my initial thought but I actually have more than I thought Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I recently started dosing and I think I may have done my maths wrong. I was maintaining my Ca and KH by using Kalkwasser in my ATO. It worked okay at keeping those levels up but it wasn't consistent due to differing levels of evaporation. I decided to leave out the kalk and start dosing. On...

Thanks. I had it for a year and it tripled in size. It's odd, in the UK the Aussie Goni is the one we go for as they're a bit more resilient. I've dipped it and put it back in the display and the polyps that are left are now extended and full. Kind of at a cross roads Sent from my iPhone using...

My maroon clown started hosting my goniopora, which the goni did not like one bit. The clown was incredibly rough with it as the goni would close up as soon as contact was made. It's started to recede so I dipped it in seachems reef dip. It doesn't look good in this photo as there is plenty of...

Perfect thanks hank Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Do you think a hydroponic lamp would be good as a sump light to grow cheato? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks Hank. You're always there for good advice, appreciate it Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a bubble magus reactor and the foams bet clogged really easily, plus the flow rate control is poor. New reactor for me I think! Can I still wash the filter sock with the rest of them? It's gone a rusty orange colour? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I was doing a water change tonight and noticed that the rowaphos reactor contained bright orange water!! What is that about? There are odd bits around the tank. I've taken it apart, cleaned it and put new media in. Any ideas what's gone on there? My filter sock is almost glowing orange Sent...

I've just changed out the carbon. I now have two extra snails which is nice Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I've worked up this morning and my tank is cloudy. Today is water change day and when moving my turbo snail, I lifted it up and there are 2 smaller snails underneath it. It appears to have given birth! I've only had it a few days. My corals look huge today. Is it likely the cloudiness is due to...
