I got a Caulastrea frag a little over a week ago, it's a trumpet, green in the middle, reddish at the edges, two polyps with a third growing in the middle. One side of one polyp seems to be receding, with some skeletal plates showing through the mantle. I've been dosing my top off water with...

I got it yesterday, it was inflated, mouth open today, had to do a small water change ( I'm a bit backwards, having two full time jobs and a tank at work and all kinds of filaments coated an area of the tank when I turned the filter off. Anyway here's a link, Any advice on tankmates...

At first I thought it was a rhodactis, but upon closer inspection, it had little nubs of off white on a mauve body with little wrinkles and what looked like a mouth in the middle. It has some type of skeleton and looks like an alien biscuit. LFS guy said it was not a stony coral, was...

What about conversion bulbs? I remember seeing them somewhere.

I have a 250 watt High Pressure Sodium lamp, hood and ballast made by Hydrofarm. I would like to eventually use this to light a 55-90 gallon reef. It has mogul sockets. Can I put a Metal Halide in this unit? Any potheads out there ever try?

I got a frag of this the other day for my 10 gallon nano. I have SL32's from CSL. Should this frag be place in direct or indirect light? Can I feed frozen brine soaed in Zoecon with a turkey baster. Anyone have care tips? Also got some reddish brown Zoanthids. This seem to all exist as single...

I bought a Perc last Saturday for my newly cycled 10 Gallon Nano, 20 Lbs. (3") DSB 20 Lbs. Prime Fiji, Ammonia 0 Nitrate 5<, Nitrite 0, topping off with distilled water. Did a 70% water change today (like I said newly cycled. Now about my Perc. He is only about an inch long and has been at the...

Many Gorgonians wash up on my favorite beach. Is there any way to tell if this waste can be fregged?

There has been a Percula Clown at the LFS for three months now, 2 of which I can vouch for. He is about 3/4". Very small, looked over by everyone. I bought him today ( I always root for the underdog.) He is shy but eats well. He lists to one side from time to time; smart little fish; I think...

Pumping higher voltages into lower rated equipment will cause your equipment to work overtime if it works at all. The life of your bulbs would be short enough to exceed the yearly cost of buying the proper ballast by anywhere from 200-400%. Why bother trying?

being a new reefer, I jumped the gun and got a clean-up crew as soon as I found Green Algae in the tank. At this point, I do believe my 5 astreas and 2 turbos in my 10-gallon may starve for a lack of said algae. Should I trick my tank (a drop of fertilizer) into growing algae, or is there an...

My LR is growing an off white, hairy growth in one spot. Is this anything to be alarmed about? The hairs are almost 3/4" long, and are only in one area about half the size of a dime.

My wife told me the same thing, to hold him at the store for another week-1/2

MY CSL's did not function properly. Both bulbs were spliced in a common negative. In some buildibgs, ground is not properly done. I suggest you take my opinion and if you buy separate actinic amd PC's, pleasre re-wire and givem a separte megative!

Could you start a Nano-Board? I like this site better than RC?

thank Dan! I live across the street from the start of South Florida's reef system. I was hoping my snail and hermits would live OK here. There are pleanty of Brain, Fire, and Gorgonians here, and I'd hope they'd acclimate. I am a free diver, so it takes me a lot of time to get (and stay ) on...
