I agree with everyone. I upgraded from 4x65w pc to 2x250w MH + 4x65w pc. I know it was a big changed and I did try to aclimate as best as possible but I did have some coralline bleaching and even some coral bleaching. I also had new aglae outbreaks that I never had before. It has been 6 months...

sun corals are awesome. No requirements for light as they are non photosynthetic. they do require feeding on a regular basis. I spot feed mine a few times a week and I have had it for about a year and a couple of months. It has tripled its size and buds have popped up all over the tank. If you...

I have the original 15k(not 14k like everyone else) bulbs that came with the odesea 250 metal halide fixture. It also has 4 65w actinics and a bunch of moon lights. I had to replace one ballast. I did so with an icecap electronic ballast. It is great I am going to replace the other ballast as...

I have four ocellaris clowns(two tanks). They do it non stop they are never happy. Its not a real bad thing just watch out for loose rock or things that may fall if all the sand is moved. Where they are digging is probably where they sleep and they are rearranging it to there liking. Good luck...

I had one once and it went crazy over frozen brine shrimp.

Yes they are fantastic, knowledgable, and always willing to listen. If you feel like going for a ride there is another great store with awesome prices. Its called Absolutley Fish in Clifton on Highway 46. Easy to miss but it is great inside.

Excellent. Thank you guys.

This brings up a very good question.... I live literally right across the street from the ocean. New Jersey. I can just walk across and get some water but I was told by some people that I shouldnt and just use my own homemade. I have been doing that for a while but I always think about the water...

Hey whats the name of that lfs I dont live too far and I am always looking for new stores.

No I have plenty of peanut worm. This is something I have never seen. I took it out last night and left it in a cup. It is not moving today so I think it is dead. I will try to put a pic of the corpse may he rest in peace. Scratch that.. still alive just asleep or something. ugly [hr] .

You know sometimes I feel stupid when someone points out the obvious like google images of aip. Thanks Hef.

When the lights go out all the crazys wake up. I have this worm its less than an inch tapered body thin to thick at the head. No real head to speak of just a bunch of hair I guess. If it stops moving it looks like a thin paint brush with clear bristles. I know its impossible to id worms but...

I would like to see any and all pics of aiptasia. I have some "things" in my tank and I am not sure what they are.They are in bad places so I cannot get a pic. I have seem aiptasia before and these dont look like them. In all reality they look like sun coral polyps. Nearly identical tenticals...

I would agree.. Not coriline algae. I have a few of these in my tank like I said and they are definitly mand made unless mother nature started churning out huge pink cheerios. They all look like that and they come pink/purple. I dont think they are bad though. I can only speak for myself but the...

Let them grow and multiply. They are crazy. Watch them at night, they are the wierdest animals.
