    Mr. X. Could it be a duncan of some type?

    help attaching kenya tree

    Yeah you can use any type of shell just make sure they are clean before using them. Those scallop shells are going to look nice full of frags. About the bam bam zoas I think the "designer zoas" are way overpriced. $15 for one polyp is crazy, if it was a 5 plus head frag yeah but one single polyp...

    help attaching kenya tree

    Sounds like an awesome deal! And yes the oyster shell is great. I actually pick them up from a local park where they put them down for a driveway. I take them home and boil them in a pot of water on the stove to make sure they are nice and clean,.then rinse them in ro/di water a few times and...

    help attaching kenya tree

    I'm just speaking from my experience. And I have plenty, I have fragged mushrooms, xenia, zoas, kenya tree all kinds of softies. I have had luck getting the corals to stick with glue but it never holds long term for me. I put my frags in the tank and the flow eventually pulls them loose and they...

    help attaching kenya tree

    Mushrooms, leathers and kenya tree you can't glue just thought I would save you the hassle of finding this out on your own. You can take the frags and lay them on a piece of whatever you are using as a frag plug and lay a piece of pantyhose over it and tie the pantyhose on the bottom side. This...

    New Salt-water tank

    Google sea hare. If that sea hare came out of the rock then its definately live rock and your cycle is complete, you ptobably didnt have much of a cycle using live rock. Add a hardy fish in a week you are cycled.

    aquarium sump

    The canister filter needs to go out the window if you sump the tank, you can use filter sock on your outlet into your sump to filter large particles and a big beast of a skimmer in the sump to remove organics and thats all the filtration you need unless you choose to use carbon or gfo to remove...

    Ammonia stalled?

    If it came down from .5 to .25 then your tank is probably nearing the end of its cycle. Just remember end of cycle only means that your tank has built up enough beneficial bacteria to handle the ammonia load that was there at the beginning of the cycle. So adding a fish increases your ammonia...

    You Nano Skimmer Experience

    I should add that I'm not able to do weekly water changes. I work ALOT! So I run a skimmer to help keep the gunk out of my tank and do water changes when I can. If I were able to keep up weekly water changes the skimmer probably would be useless but in my experience, being able to do water...

    5gallon invert. Suggestions

    Yeah they get large but at the same time they are still a small central disk with long legs. They can make themselves very compact and mine doesn't roam around very much he pretty much stays under the same rock. Your other choices are pretty much going to be hermit crabs, snails or flat crabs...

    You Nano Skimmer Experience

    I have a reef octopus nano skimmer on my 20 gallon and it pulls some nasty gunk out of my water. In my opinion I would put one on anything over ten gallons. I have heard alot of people say its not necessary but the proof is in the collection cup.

    Taking the plunge!

    The best place to get live rock is from another reefer in your area. You can usually find someone with seeded rock for sale for 2-3 dollars per pound versus 7-8 at your local fish store. I see you plan to keep seahorses, if thats the case then a refugium is an absolute must. Seahorses survive by...
