it's a condy with a clarkii. Clarkiis and sebaes are actually different, although they are often sold as the same fish. The easiest way to tell is clarkiis have 3 stripes and sebaes have 2.

squamosas have a few different common patterns. But that is absolutely a maxima. No doubt.

I used it last night. Worked great. If you want to treat separately in a bucket, use revive. It works great and it a hell of a lot cheaper. But I certainly wouldnt dose it in your system. Haha. I didn't have tons, but within a few minutes they started falling off the rocks. I sucked up all...

itll regrow and be fine.

You should be fine. Make sure they get a lOT of flow. They shield them selves and therefore, need more flow than other sps in order to keep reach the inside of the corals. Just about every large colony you will see will have a dead center because of this. If you can get your hands on a PAR meter...

Hey everyone, I know. I just posted pictures not too long ago. But I just upgraded to t5s and gotta show the colors! I have a 24" tek light on my 20" tank. I just made some legs with PVC. I was running a aquablue+, 2 ATI blue+, and a figi purple. I just switched out the aquablue+ for...

nat's right. It will start percipitating at that point. It will depend what your Alk, pH, and Mag is as to weather or not your tank will be completely white or not. However, levels that high will have at least some percipitate, and will build up on pumps and in your skimmer and reduce...

Filter feeders such as some sea fans/gorgonians, bivalves, and tube worms will benefit form it. But something like live phytoplankton would be more beneficial to all. It's crap, IMO. I have a 10 gallon tank with mainly sps and a good number of lps, and some zoos. I feed: baby brine shrimp...

where did you have the corals in the tank and what where they under at the LFS. COuld also be light acclimation. How long did you have them for?

what brand is this? Of course you can divide it, but make sure to use a bag/filter with a similar pore size and just in case, I would be carful about handling what is inside if you dont know what it is.

I've used one at work and have been impressed with it for what the old berlins did. The new NW turbo isn't great, but it's not horrid. Still a few levels above a seaclone, IME.
