    will my coraline die when i upgrade to MH?

    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...

    weird Clown question

    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.

However, even though they are supposed to be a difficult coral, when they are happy I think they are some of the most incredible animals in the world...
