Hi everyone, I've got a 28-gallon JBJ Nano Cube, which has been running for about 16 months. Back in March and April, I had some out-of-town interviews, and got very sloppy with water changes--I think I went three or four weeks without doing one. Mea culpa. Toward the end of that, I started...

Hi there, reefers! I've had a 28-gallon nano going for about nine months, and have been slowly adding new frags to it (plus a new 2-inch maxima!). Recently I've been having a LOT of trouble keeping my calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels up. I use B-Ionic, and I'm now dosing 50 milliliters...

Hi all, I've got a bit of an emergency here! Background: I bought these two acropora frags (one yellow and one reddish) attached to the same rock about three months ago. All was well until a few weeks ago I noticed the yellow frag had some tips turning white. I thought this might just be new...

Hi all, I had some Euphyllia that unfortunately got shredded by an emerald crab, but I left the skeleton in my tank afterward. A few weeks later, I noticed a section of the skeleton looked like it was "raised" a little bit--I thought it was flaking off or something and didn't pay too much...

Hi everyone, I've got an LED hood for my 28-gallon Nano Cube, and I wanted to get some opinions about whether the lighting it provides will be appropriate for LPS and SPS corals. It's got: 25 3-watt daylight LEDs at 1400 K 4 3-watt dawn/dusk lights at 466 nm 2 1-watt moonlights at 456 nm I'm...

Just ran across this article: Caribbean Coral Reefs Mostly Dead, IUCN Says – News Watch I know this isn't about aquariums or reef-keeping, but it seems pretty darn relevant to our hobby. I'm glad to hear that collecting specimens for aquariums isn't one of the reasons they listed for the...

Hi all, I'm new to reef aquariums, and my frogspawn is the first LPS coral I've gotten (so it's important to me!). It looked great for the first two weeks or so—8 heads—but has since gone downhill. I first noticed the tentacles on two heads retracting gradually after I split the skeleton so it...
