I will share my limited experience here. Coraline has to be introduced to your tank by way of live rock, etc, it doesn't sprout up on it's own. Some people have said that scrubbing a piece of LR that has coraline with a stiff brush will cause spores to land elsewhere in your tank. also, many...

Will toadstool pretty much stay where you first place it? Would it be better to place it on the sand or gently wedge it in or between rockwork? My lights are 260 watt PC, the guy who is giving it to me has it under MH lighting. Given this, I imagine I should place it up higher in the tank...

Would like to know if this is an armor devil. Sorry about the Bad quality pic. They do open a little larger than that. Thanks, Tom

There is hope! First, thanks for all the advice. Especially reefkprz. He was the one who pointed to Iodine. After following his advice of water change and running carbon, the following has resulted: Although after the water change I will never know if I overdosed with Iodide, but it sure does...

O.K. I did the water change and I am running a small bag of carbon in a seperate filter. I will hope for the best and see how things go. I dont really have a close up due to crappy camera but then again theres really nothing much to take a photo of. Whatever tiny little specs are left on the...

OMG! you would think living in central Jersey this wouldn't be difficult. The 4th LFS I checked with told me they had a kit. (the other 3 didn't) I drove almost an hour to get there, (10 min outside of NYC) and the Jack @?? tells me the only test they have is one that tells you if iodine is...

Originally Posted by reefkprZ I would test your Iodine or do a large water change, if you dont have the test kit. iodine comes in your salt mix so if there is nothing consuming Iodine or consuming very little iodine, its really easy to go over the top. this may or may not be the problem.... but...

Funniest part is, I tested out water from LFS. It was OK but mine was way better all around. PH, Trates etc.

Just went with label instructions. Wasn't worried about OD because never added it before.

Originally Posted by reefkprZ IMO your SG is low it should be 1.024-1.026,m but I doubt that caused the death of your shrooms. it could be light shock (your lights far brighter than the stores) or possibly copper contamination in the tank? have you ever used copper based meds? I'm just throwing...

Well they all died. This am they are completely dead and falling apart with prctically none left on the rock. I am frustrated to the point that I am convinced that I just cant keep any coral. The exact same thing happened about 2 months ago in the same tank. This particular tank is about 8...

Put a yellow tail in my 24 gal aqua pod. Beautiful fish but big mistake for me. It tortured my sebae clown and royal gramma. was a real pain in the neck to catch, but I did. had to trade him in because my clown and royal gramma have been in there since the start.

The next day and they are still pretty shriveled. Nice color and all but not opening. one of the small ones fell off the rock so I cut the flow back for today figuring it was knocked off the rock by water flow. I'm not really happy because it is a stunning piece. well at least it was in the lfs.

Not yet. I'm concerned about why new purple mushrooms aren't doing well in my 24 gal. which is where a smaller piece of it was going. posted on this board "mushrooms shrinking" Originally Posted by reefkprZ DId you frag it? how did it go?
