The fish lived, the mushrooms still not looking so hot, the zoos have been shut, and I lost a leather coral. Should I expect a total loss, especially of the inverts, or will they make a comeback?

I tried keeping a Clarkii with a true perc... That lasted all of about 10 minutes as the true perc had the clarkii's dorsal fin in its mouth like a pitbull on a squirrel... and the clarkii was twice its size

I already looked into that. First, its overpriced for just being a plastic gallon jug and a hospital IV kit. Second, there is nowhere for me to put something that needs to be higher than the tank.

That's pretty much what I've been doing. I keep a one gallon container about 3/4 full of saturated kalk. I've been adding some to the display every day and testing the calcium and alk trying to get level numbers. It's only about a month old now so still a work in progress.

The Litremeter III is just too expensive for what I'm looking to do for now.

Would a Tom's Aquatic Aqua Lifter work?

Hopefully I can get a good answer here, as its always been a helpful place. My new biocube 29 has a pretty high evaporation rate. It is no longer feesable just to add RO/DI water with some kalkwasser every day. I am looking into this ATO system: How should I set this up? I was thinking of...

it's green

Thanks for the help. I bought a clarkii the other day which is a natural companion to the anemone residing in my tank. Its supposed to be delivered Friday morning. I'll let you know how things turn out.

I recently moved everything over into the biocube 29. Yesterday I purchased what the LFS had labeled as a long hair anemone, but looking around at photos online, I o not think thats what I have. Can someone help me ID this thing? I placed him on top of a flat piece of rock and as soon as...

Its not quite jelly, but its not firm either. It is a bit tougher than the flesh of the zoas

Here are a couple of photos

This stuff has been on this little patch of zoas for a while in my tank. It is slowly growing. At first I thought it was just a few dead ones, but it never decomposed. Any suggestions on what it is and how I can get rid of it?

I try to do mini water changes every 1 or 2 days.. about a half gallon or so. I felt that would keep the most stable water conditions. The paper towel is a good idea. I'll try that the next time I notice the slick

I have a question for everyone. But first a little background... I have a 10 gallon reef with an eclipse filter hood combo. I purchased the smallest protein skimmer i could find, but it was still VERY unsightly in the water. Recently, I've noticed a bit of an oil-slick looking film on the...
