    Fried coral and new led

    So I upgraded to LED and seems like they are too high so need to be adjusted. I noticed the green pol being white and brown. So obviously too much. Is the section at the too done for or can it be saved with only blue lights for a while? Rest of the coral is doing well.

    Biocube29 LED light option? Overkill?

    Found these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C05ZJ0O. They look good and nice price. Any thoughts if this is just overkill for a tank this size? Light are able to dim.

    Not sure what is on my rock

    So took a close look today and seems like there were a few worm type objects on my rock. They were white/clear and 1-2 MM long. Is this some parasite or worm?

    Ick problems and UV sterilizer

    So had an ICK issue. Two meltdowns which was awesome. So just lost everything and realize I need to wait. I can do a water change but someone recommended a UV sterilizer. Running a biocube 29 and did see one. Is this needed or suggestions to get rid of the ick before adding fish again?

    So i added a fish. Yes stupid because i had to travel and left someone to watch my tank. Not sure what happened but my gf found 3 of my 5 dead a week and a half later.

    Green Mandarin and 29 biocube

    Any thoughts on adding these fish in a tank this size? I realize they do pods and are more difficult. I have about 27lbs of rock in the tank but seem other posts where you need a 55gal and 70lbs of rock.

    No clue what this is

    So i found this white stuff on a rock. It is white and is somewhat transparent. Seems like some movement. I got this rock from an established tank. Doesnt seem to be causing any harm but not sure if i need to get rid of it.

    Used Biocube-replace lights?

    I got a used biocube 29 for a good deal and I have seen where you need to replace the lights. So far the lights work well but from my reading is they degrade after about a year? The person before had it about that long. Will it start to create issues if I leave them in a little longer? It...
