Sorry, I only answered half of your question. No the spots are not moving.

Hi, Thanks for the resize. It has been closed for three days now. Four days ago it seemed to be fine. In addition to the spots you can see what looks like a fungus or something at a lot of the joints.

Sorry for the size of the photo. Still learning.

This coral was bent right over yesterday. It is standing up today, but I've noticed black spots on it. Any thoughts on what this is and how to remedy it?

The water parameters seem to be fine. I have checked for phosphates and they are not detectable. I did replace my two, 55w power compacts a couple of weeks ago. They were 7 months old. The new lights were the same brand (Coralife) and did appear to be quite a bit brighter. It was the new...

Sorry, I failed to answer your question the first time. Yes I did wash the carbon in the Nylon bag until the water coming out of it appeared clear.

At first I chuckled at your post. But then I got to thinking, has anyone ever heard of an attempt restore a reef? I know they sink ships and dump rail cars in the ocean, but I'm talking about restoring what nature had built and man tore down. Even if it was only a few hundred yards in area...

The carbon that I use is from a company called Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. The product is called "Research Grade, Super Activated Carbon". It claims to contain no phosphates. Does carbon remove useable food rom the water?

The water in my tank was starting to look a little yellow, so for the first time I used carbon. I have a 30 gallon tank and used three table spoons of carbon. I put the carbon in a bag and placed it in a high flow area for one week. The water cleared nicely but I noticed that my feather...

Bleeding Blue, Here's a link to the manufacturer and a picture. http://www.zoomed.com/html/drippers.html

I have to concur with Dan81. I have a Red Sea and I can't keep it at the same foaming action for more than a few days. It's always needing adjustment.

I went to my local pet store and bought a dripper for a reptile aquarium. They need dripping water to emulate the humidity of a rain forest. It works great and cost me less than ten bucks.

I've been travelling this week on business and following this thread. I've got 3 feather dusters and find them to be both beautiful and interesting. I just got back from the airport to find the feathers on my Hawaiin Feather Duster looking very ragged. It has appeared to be happy and healthy...

The Latin name for this crab is "Camposcia retusa".
