they are very easy to keep healthy. I find mine actually propogate more when my water is not changed at a regular interval

I run the same lights as you I think (2 10k's and 2 actinics, right - 260W total - corallife?) And I run mine overtop of a 55 also. Honestly, this sounds like a water quality issue to me. 1)How often are you doing water changes? 2)What kind of powerheads and filters do you have 3)What kind of...

You could tie to to the legs of your lights if they have feet (mine do). It would probably look better. Or if you use eggcrate on the top of your tank (like I do), you could tie it on that also. Or you could just go buy a $1.99 new seaweed clip

Originally Posted by fbm I have been feeding my button polps alot and they are looking good. I just witnessed about 4 to 5 of them just jump off the rock in a clump. So I am thinking they do this to move around maybe? So what I did was rubber band them to a rubble rock so that a frag will...

Lobophyllia hemprichii (Red Lobo Brain Coral) and Trachyphyllia geoffroyi (Rose Brain Coral )

Originally Posted by puffer32 I haven't seen them anyplace, and we are planning a trip in the near future and don't want to bother neighbors to come in everyday to do top offs. Puffer, I think you can look at a Tunze 5017. That is what I have. All you need is a small tank for it to pull the...

look on the big a-u-c-t-i-o-n website on the net. There are plenty available on there for the same or even cheaper

nori is pretty cheap though, so if you wanted to you could constantly replace it. I get about 400 sheets for $30

Scoobs, your avatar is just plain creepy to me. What is it?

you could also place a power head along the blottom of the tank to keep the flow moving.

do you have too much flow? Try to give it a place where there is alittle flow but not enough to blow him around.

Tangs always are eating so I would just replace it when the sheet is gone. Yeah they rip it off sometimes, but I guarantee you that someone is eating it. So, just replace it. Tangs always eat to avoid starving.
