my bubble is still kind of "unhappy" with the algae that still has not totally gone away....

It is right in the middle of an otherwise "healty" colony. The "middle" section just "rotted away" and the rest of the colony looks perfectly fine.

nope.....at the time I was just watching things and noticed a trend to things looking "better and better". My corals (zenia and zoes) were growing like wild and all my inverts were molting on a...

question about iodine....

everyone keeps saying "so dangerous...can kill things"

Lougals says "1 drop per 25gals per week" (something like that)

yet I found when I had my old 20gal, I was...

Well, I have been running the tank at 78 (+/-0.5) since Friday and really EVERYTHING looks better. I guess the high temps were the problem. Everything is open and looking better than ever so I'm...

too hot for xenia? really?

well the reason I'm running my tank as warm as I am is a number of local reef guys made a really good point......many reefs in the wild run upwards of 82-84 degrees.......

grease? on o-rings? in reef tank? wha?

hmmm...guess I will have to watch those littls brats....

Should I be cleaning the skimmer cup out (ie: actually wiping the crud out of the neck in the cup) or should I just empty and put it back on? I notice that when I clean it, the skimmer seems to take...

COULD it have something to do with the toothpick method I'm using to attempt attachment (ie: too much trama)? This morning it SEEMS like it is "thinking" about opening (I see a head "crack a bit"...

well I have some new fish (some blue damsels, a yellow eye tang, and some scooters), but I wouldn't think any of these guys would bother it......I could be wrong though....

So I have this issue. My 100gal has been up since early June and overall I would say things are going rather well. Most of the things I have put in this tank are either at least "alive" (look the...

Has anyone heard this?

LFS guy said "I don't like lace rock for reefs because it is volcanic and thus has a lot of metals in it. It can kill corals."


Now...wait....what? My tank is 90%...

Thanks for the info. I did some reading and came up with about the same info (ie: small, center cut fags grow faster) but it's good to have it confirmed.

Yesterday I got a red (orange/red) ball...

Need a little help guys. I have been fragging zoos for a while now, but I always seem to loose 1/3 or so of them. This leads me to believe that I'm doing SOMETHING wrong. I can't for the life of...

yes but calcium IN water shouldn't build up on something IN the water.....as the calcium atoms come out of solution, water should come along and re-disolve it

how do you get buildup on the impeller if it spends 100% of its life entirely underwater?

I'm thinking this coral (short bubble) is feeding (I gave it a squirt of cyclopieze with a baster) but just curious. Since I have never actually seen a coral feed before (ie: someone point to "that...

why a monthly vineger bath?

After months of trying to avoid power heads, I finally broke down and put one in the tank. INSTANTLY crap (ie: fish poop, dead stuff, etc.) went everywhere. So I am ready to concede and install...
