how fast does it grow? i like the vho version :) since it has a golden tone to it. thanks!

absolutely beautiful. great to know that it's considered a hardier coral. do you feed him at all? thanks!

i notice one of my goby has a small white dot on the tail. it looks like either ich or parasite. currently, there is only one white dot and the fish is completely "healthy". it's as active as before and eats as much as it use to. other fish don't have these white dot. i am thinking about using...

love the look of yellow leather coral so i am doing some research to see what it takes to keep one. from my limited research so far, they are relatively easy to care for, right? anyone keep one? if so, can you share your experience with us? what lighting and current do they like? feeding or just...

does nsw has alk at 2.5 meg/L? the instruction that come with my Salifert KH/Alkalinity test kit state that nsw has 8dKH or alkalinity of 2.9 meg/L. which one is right? thanks!

If my question is dump, please excuse me. Which skimmer mentioned so far is the silentest? I heard that some skimmers are very loud... thanks! david

With the closed loop system, I suppose that I don't need as many power heads (or any at all). Along with the sump return, a closed loop system should provide all the neccessary water circulation right? Thanks all! Nice diagram! david

Hi, What's closed loop? Exactly how do you set up a closed loop? What are the advantages and disadvantages of closed loop as oppose to just using power head? If you have a closed loop, do you still need power head? thanks! david

have you try increase your water circulation such as directing a couple power head to them? david

And how big is your tank? what kind of lighting you have? what about pumps, etc? How about water usage on a monthly basis? I would really like to know those costs too! thanks! david

What are those SPS corals that grows out flat like a table instead of growthing upward like a bush? I think those are really cool. Are those really hard to grow? Because I don't see a lot of reefers having those... thanks! david

Hey, which forum gets the most hit? thanks! david

Hi Minh, If I have a 100G (48"x24"x20") with a 4" DSB so total water deepth is 16", I have 2 250W MH + 2 VHO actinic, will I be able to keep those calms? thanks! david

I think by most people's (ie, those that do not keep aquarium) definition, corals are "plant" and "tree". Fishs are animal that actually moves. When someone sees a monkey in the tree, they will say "Look there is a monkey in the tree!", not that they will say "Look there is a tree and there is a...
