Yeah i have had one before. I am trying to find out if other pods will eat dead fish or not once it is just a corpse?

Cliff notes: Borbonius anthias is dead and being eaten by some kind of pods. Story: Thursday morning I saw my borbonius anthias in the morning for his breakfast. He was out and full of color. He was eating like normal, no issues. He has almost doubled in size since I got him at the end of...

I got nervous about the Moorish Idol in the tank, so I traded it to a local guy for some nice looking frags. His tank is a bit bigger than mine and has more natural food for the fish. So far polyps are out, but they have only been in the tank overnight. The Mystery Acro didn't seem to have...

I have both in the same tank. Granted my tank is a 180, but both fish are completely calm and kind of just mind their own business. I have never seen either chase anything nor each other. They graze a lot and just kind of keep to themselves. The coral beauty is a bigger fish, but I don't...

Sorry for the link failures. I forget that this site is really weird for html/ photo links. This last weekend was the big Mountain West Reef Fest in Salt Lake. I was given the unique opportunity to participate in the Reefscape contest. The theme this year was "Nano 10 gallon." Did I mention...

Well look at me go. I haven't spent money on my tank or made additions since sep 9th! Yesterday I traded my 10gallon tank for a couple of frags: Lobo Coral and a Fire and Ice/ Rainbow Acan (you can barely see it at the top of that rock structure):

I ll try to help with the voltometer. They have a 3 stage RO so the water is good as far as that goes. Checks it and still reads 0. They feed garlic soaked nori and garlic spectrum pellets.

So the stunner strip wires/ connectors were under water last night and I had wondered about the voltage so I taped them to the hood temporarily. Sound alike there is a good chance they aren't 100% sealed and could have caused this?

My neighbor has been out of town working on a start up business of his and his wife has been caring for the tank. She called me crying to come help her last night. I got there and this is what I found: Hammer Coral Disintegrating Scoly's with holes: Acan Dying: Favia dying: She said the...

Thanks snake. coral guy, I have always wondered if they were actually dendros because they look different from my small sun coral colony and act different. They are actually smaller than the sun corals, but they stay open during the day and don't really close if hte water is good. The cyano...

I am fighting cyano now. I am winning, but I think I lost my sun corals because I couldn't feed them at night. We will see if they open back up after this all settles down and goes to normal.

Tank is looking good! Very fast growth!

Sorry for no new updates. Tangs are all doing really well. No ich or other diseases and everyone is eating a lot. Here is the newest addition Located under the branch Also got these a couple of weeks ago:
