    Small Star?

    My friend sent me a pic asking for an ID. He only had a cell cam so the pic is a little blurry. He said it moves pretty fast. Disappeared before he could get a better pic. He doesn't have much LR and no corals. Hasn't added anything but fish for a few months. Any ideas? Bad, Good? Thanks.

    Little guy didn't make it.

    Desjardinii won't eat!

    There is a HOB filter and a skimmer in the tank. I meant, the power head is only a nano and is still sucking him up.

    Desjardinii won't eat!

    He's just about gone. It's struggling to swim. Can't hardly stay upright even though there is hardly any current now. This sucks.

    Desjardinii won't eat!

    It still isn't eating. It also seems to be getting really weak and still hardly comes out of the bottom corner. I had to turn off my ph because it got too close and stuck to it. It's only a Koralia nano. Doesn't have much suction. Don't know what to do now. Doesn't look like it's going to...

    Water changes-getting bad out or putting good in?

    The trace elements are in the salt, not the RO water.

    SPS Growth Rates:

    Just wondering, I bought an ORA purple monti cap from this site about 6 weeks ago. It has only grown about 1/4 inch on all sides. Is this normal? Also, it's not very purple. It's about 10 inches from the top of the tank under 175w MH's. All other corals are growing well.

    Water changes-getting bad out or putting good in?

    You must do water changes to replenish all trace elements that are required for coral growth. Also, water is the only thing that evaporates. All of the "bad stuff" stays behind.

    Desjardinii won't eat!

    Oh yeah, the sailfin is pretty small. About 1.5-2 inches.

    Desjardinii won't eat!

    I got a couple of new fish Saturday, a Black and White clown and a Desjardinii Sailfin. I have them both in quarantine. The clown eats like a pig, just about anything I feed him. The Sailfin doesn't seem interested in anything. I have tried Frozen brine, frozen mysis, Pellets, and...

    New Controller?

    It shipped out today. Should get it within a week or so. I also found a free Iphone app that was made specifically for this controller. You can access and control the controller via the iphone. Thought that was pretty cool.

    Sand Snails

    I would like to get quite a few more snails for my 110g reef. Some that will help keep my sand bed a little cleaner. I've been looking at Nassarius and Cerith snails. As of right now, all I have is around 20-30 Turbos. Which of these should I get? Some of each maybe? Are either of these...

    New Controller?

    Well I went ahead and ordered an Aquacontroller 3. Hope the extra features were worth it.

    New Controller?

    I have been researching mid level controllers for my 110g reef. Not sure which way to go. I think I have it narrowed down to the Digital Aquatic's Reefkeeper Lite level 3 package or the Neptune System's AquaController Jr. I like the options on the more expensive versions of these controllers...

    New fish trap

    Been trying to catch my Javanese for months. All attempts have been unsuccessful. It seems I have tried just about everything short of removing all LR and corals. Maybe this one will work. I cut a piece of acrylic the full height of the tank and 10" wide and then cut a 4" X 3" hole in the...

    How big do clowns get?

    I have a mated pair of Ocellaris that are around 3 inches. They have been in my 110g for at least 2 years. How fast do they normally grow? Have I somehow stunted their growth? They must be smokers......
