Good eye on that Klauswitz Blenny :) Yes there are Duncans in the pic. The white fish is a Diamond Goby. But the Tuxuito Urchin, Acan, Elegance Coral, and Scolima remain unfound! Well.that was fun. Now its somebody elses turn! :D

Have you checked your tank's PH, ammonia, and nitrate levels? PH can be adjusted with buffer, ammonia can be lethal if too much is present but the bacteria in your tank should "eat" it until its at 0, and nitrate can be deadly as well if it gets too high. Nitrate levels always rise and the only...

@Snake Unless I am mistaken, there are 3 fish, 1 invert, and 5 corals that have not been properly named! :D @Southern Wolf well what are they? :)

It went wherever I didn't gooooo! Ok the rules are simple. Post a pic of your tank and everyone else has to guess the names of all the fish/inverts/and corals in the pic. The owner of the tank will give out 1 point for each correct guess. NO CHEATING! No googling or looking up in a book or...

Hmm... nice easy corals you say? If you want a grassy look on one of your rocks I'd look into Green Star Polyps. For something otherworldly looking, some button polyps, and if you want something that sways in the current, you can't go wrong with a Frogspawn.

Hi! I just thought I'd share my experience with Duncans. When I got mine it was a little 2 headed frag and for the first few weeks it was shy and rarely opened. I was a little worried but it just seems like these corals take a little longer to get used to a new system than other corals do. In...

I got this scolima coral just before new years for $30. It was only the size of a nickel when I got it but now its almost as big as a quarter! lol.

The light should be enough I would think... you can't see in in the pics but there are a couple of nearby SPS corals not much higher than it and they're happy. Last saturday I tested for calcium and I was only at around 400 so I gave the tank a calcium dose (will test the calcium levels again to...

Hi all. I've wanted a Mandarin for a while now (and my wife loves them too) but I've never got one because of their specific feeding requirements and the fact that I don't have a refugium on my tank. But then I got too thinking... What if I were to get live pods, and then at night after the...

Hey sorry to threadjack but now I gotta ask (since I've never used moonlight myself and I kindof like those R2 lights that Meowzer posted)... Is the purpose of those lights just to make the tank look blue-er or is it supposed to be better for the tank to keep the moonlights on at night as...

Can you contact the manufacturer? I've had 1 bulb go out on my LED fixture and when I emailed the manufacturer they offered to fix it for me for free. The only reason I didn't do it was that its only 1 bulb (out of 24) and I didn't want my tank to be lightless for the 7-10 business days it would...

I've had this frag for a few months now and it seems pretty tough to please. So far I've never been able to get its tentacles to extend as long as it has when I first seen it at the store, and every now and then I've been moving it around the tank in the hopes to find the "sweet spot" for it in...

I've never heard of Xenias hosting clowns. I've heard of some people having success with Frogspawns hosting clowns but if your clowns were tank raised they might not host anything at all.

Sorry to hear that... I have one of these same kinds of elegances and it was a tough cookie to make happy in the first couple of months. For some reason its just now starting to get happy (it opens up all day but its tentacles aren't as long as I know they should be). I think if you can get it...

Can't quite bring myself to pay over $100 on any piece of coral... yet. The most expensive coral I've bought was a big colorful Wellso Brain that I fell in love with, which cost me $56 and I'm tempted to buy a nice sized and well shaped Christmas Favia that currently sitting in my LFS for $79...

Thanks for the assist guys! :) I've moved the coral to a different spot that is in more direct light and where I think the flow might be better. The only downside with this new spot is that its a few inches lower than the old spot, but so far the polyps on the coral don't seem to be bothered by...

What kind of lights are coming with your tank? If you get LEDs, you will save on your electric bill and you will save on not having to buy replacement bulbs every few months.
