I just did a PWC yesterday to boost my salinity, it was at 1.023 trying to get it to 1.025.

Today I'm doing the pH buffer. I'm at 8.0, my buffer is 8.3. Also cleaning my sock, protein skimmer and filter pads.

What's the pros and cons of buying corals online?

I've never personally bought corals on line. I'm fortunate to have a very good fish store 15min from home.
I'm sure someone out there can chime in with some personal experience.

My favorite store is like 30mins away so it's a hike for me so I wanted to try out the online purchase.

Just out of curiosity, how does the wavebox work with the overflow box, wouldn't the overflow box suck in air?

Can you put independent zoas in the sand not attach to any rock? And can they reproduce in the sand?

My closes store is 45 min away though I never had a bad fish or anything from there it's just a lot of gas to get there. I recently set up a fluval edge a month ago and I decided I was going to try the online order for my first additions. I went to reefs2go.com cause the prices are hard to beat! I ordered two snow onyx clowns and a green bubble tip that totaled with shipping to 179.99! Great deal if you ask me. They came in three days ago and everything was healthy my fish and anemone show now stress no parasites or disease and was actually quite pleased.

Today I fed my bubble coral and ever since I fed him he's been looking this. Should I worry?

It looks cool to me, but I don't know anything about them.

Very nice. It looks like the two groups of rock is the new thing to do. I may have to try it out on my next tank. I really like yours.
