I have a 5g reef with live rock, toadstool leathers, misc. polyps, xenia, small frogspawn, and another thing im not sure of the name of it (small purple polyps with green underneath. soft). Since there are no fish in the tank I was wondering if I needed to feed any of these corals, or If they...

The only reason I had the corals are because my bf works at a saltwater store and he gets things free from work and customers... so all the polyps, mushrooms and toadstools were free... He brought them home in a bucket and im not sure how long they were in there, probably 2-3hours... could that...

Would high temps be a problem... the tank did get to 82F this week... but it normally is at 75F. Where I live when it gets hot out there is now way to cool the place down Right now I have Two yellow chromis, hermit crabs, snails a bunch of polyps, mushrooms and some toadstool leathers. They...

I would like to put mostly soft coral and some hard (if lighting isn't too expensive)... and anemones.

I was wondering what kind of lighting I would need to make a reef out of my newly aquired 46g bow or if i should scrap the idea and keep my current 20g L reef. I just started my reef on April 6 so it consists of live rock and a large hermit... and two new additions last night... two clams from...
