They usually enjoy strong random alternating currents. How fast does acropora grow? Could you refer to a single species of Acropora? I cannot give you a correct answer with the word Acropora, as some corals (such as an A. microphalma) will grow over an inch a month, while others may only grow...

Recently I attached a 30 gallon refugium to my 90 gallon sump. After finally picking up some chaetomorpha from Dave B., I went to homedepot to buy a 60wt 3,300k Halide. I set it up, and all went well for the first few days. I then come home one night to find the ballast and bulb in the sump. The...

Hey Mark, That is going to be one amazing setup once the corals grow out! The tortuosa tower is awesome! Graham

Congrads guys! Well done! Graham

Yes, the purple monster is an extremely slow growing coral. Since I got a frag of it in may (from Carlos), the overall coral has grown about 1/4" on the branches and about 1" of encrusting growth. It isn't the most colorfull coral out there, although it's a great addition to those who enjoy...

Mark, Very nice frag tank! You're starting to make me jelous now :D Take Care, Graham

Which species of plate is it? Heliofungai or Fungai? Has it been damaged or stung by any nearby coral? Does this "brown stuff" appear to be algae or cyano, or does it seem like a discoloration on the coral? When I bought an Orange Fungia sp. from the LFS, I noticed that one portion of the coral...

How old is the aquarium and what does it contain? I couldn't say if I would recommend a "linkia" to your tank without knowing more about your setup, including how old is it, how many pounds of liverock are in the tank, what filtration you're using, water parimeters, and other livestock. Also...

I'm quite fond of the 10,000k Ushio's. The following site may be of some use to you. It goes into detail about the spectral analysis of metal halides. http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/...omparison.html Take Care, Graham

What type of bulb are you running and which ballast are you using? As Gina stated, the 20,000k bulbs generally last around 6 months and 10,000k bulbs last around 10-14 months, depending upon the ballast being used. Graham

The members count is usually updated every few hours rather than being instant. Most of the members that are currently counted for have signed on in the past few hours, meaning that I or one of the moderators would still be listed for awhile even after they've signed off. Graham

Very nice shots! Can we see a full tank shot? Take care and happy holidays! Graham

Very nice shots, Mark! I hope you don't mind if I add in a few :) Graham

On his website his last entry was in June. Does anyone know if the acro is still alive? It can take a long time for an acro to die due to light starvation. Brooklyn Johnny's (his tank was referenced earlier in this thread) tank is a very nice one but he will be the first to tell you that...

Zack, Very nice! Good selection with the clams! :) Graham

Thanks for the great comments! Originally posted by waterfaller1 Great pics!The clam one would'nt work for me:notsure: This picture of the clam should work. Unfortunatly, I think swf.com disabled the use of pictures being posted by links as I'm only getting the link to come out in my post...

Mark, Very impressive! Your tank is really starting to look nice! I can't wait to see what your tank will look like in another year when those frags grow out. May I ask how much growth you were receiving when dosing bionic? Graham
