I need a little help. I had a defective marineland heater. My tank went up to around 90 degrees the other day before I noticed. I am fairly certain the heat up lasted less than 12 hours. I immediately took out the heater and used zip lock baggies of ice to gradually lower the temp in the...

Thanks Mr. X. I haven't seen it with it's tentacles out yet. That may be because I leave my lights off during the day and on at night, when I am home, so I can see the tank. I will try and keep an eye on it and see if i can see it open. Trent

I am still getting into having coral, so I have a question about feeding coral. I currently have an open brain coral, a Frogspawn and a small frag of zoos. (I am trying to unbleach the zoos right now due to bad lighting when I first got my aquarium) :mad: So, my question is this, Do I have...

Hey Everyone, I have CoraLife lighting that is turned on for about 9 hours a day, on my 30 gallon reef tank. I have read some interesting stuff on moonlighting but wanted to ask here; Is it necessary for the coral? If it isn't necessary is it at least helpful? Is it just to help showcase your...

Yes Doug, that's the right light fixture.

I got a completely new fixture. The last one I had was a single flourescent bulb that had a coral sun actnic 420 bulb. I have since replaced this fixture with the coral life. Also, will back off on the microvert food as well.

I have had the tank about a year. One thing I forgot to mention is that I have only had the coral life lights for about two months. Before that, the zoas were under a fluorescent light that was a coral light, that was blue. That may have been the culprit. I am planning on moving them under my...

6 months is correct. They were very colorful the first three or four months, and then they bleached out on me.

What else might be the culprit?

I have Coral Life lights that have two T5 bulbs, 1 blue and 1 white. Will the Zoas ever get their color back?

Understood on the salinity testing. Since I am still a newbie, a couple of questions: 1.) What type of test kit/testor do you recommend for salinity? 2.) What ppm should be an acceptable level for salinity? 3.) How do I raise/lower salinity? {Water change?) Also, I have lowered the frag to...

30 gallon tank, and I am using water purchased from a reputable aquarium dealer in Dallas. I'm still trying to get the right equipment. Here is a picture.

I have a frag of Purple People Eater Palythoa with about eights polyps that are opening and alive, but have no color whatsoever. They are completely clear/white. Below is as much of the info has I have. 1. Type & how long you have had it: Six months and see above 2. Current lighting & Bulb...

Hi, fairly new to saltwater aquariums. I have a 30 gallon bowfront tank that has been up for around 1 year. I have a Penguin 150 Bio Wheel pump. I currently have four fish (2-tank raised clowns, 1 black and white damsel and a small Blue Regal Tang) I have recently added a Frog Spawn frag and a...
