I have a medium yellow/green open brain coral, I knew that at night there would he antenni that come out to collect food, but my question is in reguards to the mouth section.....what kind of food is good for feeding directly and, when they have a full mouth do they alwats look as if they puff...

sorry to burden everyone with this post, after I posted I did some looking arround and found my heaters were not plugged in, apparently my daughter unpluged them last night. Dan

I have purple gorgonians in my tank, After I purchased it is when I did my research. As Adrian said, mimic their natural habitat. I give mine a good semi-strong current, and feed them dt phytoplankyon 2-3 times weekly. I not knowing about my proper cal. levels started to lose my gorg. but since...

I like they way it was previously, only because if I was reading a post about whatever, and someone started talking about a certian fish or coral I didn't know about, I could lower the pop-up window and look within the site. Otherwise the site looks good and I don't have any problems on my 56K...

I have 3 heaters and the oldest one is the only one working properly. I had bought 2 TopFin heaters from the pet store, they are 75Watts each, and don't get 2 of my tanks above 76degrees. this is a sudden occurance. They had been working great. Do I need higher wattage, or a different brand...

Sammy, Why not just create a link to a seperate page containing all the lingo and abreviations? Place a font size of like 15-20 just saying abreviations, or something of that manner,as the hyperlink. It could be linked from the same place we can access our profiles from on the BB main page. Dan

L and L, I can't tell you too much about generators, other than you will want a contractors grade. I did however check out your site, Awesome pic's, but can you explain what the Trade Lists are all about? Dan

Well I myself clean my wheels and carbon at least once a week, sometimes twice depending on how cloudy the water has been due to the clownfish. I will do this ritually, just because of the ammount of crap that I see growing in the cannisters. Dan

Diatom, I was looning into how some of these LR distributors go about doing thier LR, and they get it from quarries. Is it only different because instead of the ocean there is a tank involved? Just wondering, because I thought of doing the same thing when I was looking for LR. Dan

For your rock, check into any rock quarries you might have near you. They will sell you rock by the truckload at a good price, and they will be all shapes and sizes with holes riddled throughout. Dan

If you dont want to hear anything, and can afford the cost, I suggest buying Acustic Tiling. This is a soundproofing tile that is used in music studios, as well as hotels and many other types of buildings. You can find it at Home Depot or any other major hardware store near you, the only problem...

Kevin, Although the plywood idea is a good one, realize that there will be no other support on the glass where your cracks are, and a 200 gal. tank would be placing an enormous ammount of pressure on the glass. You see the epoxy would seal up the cracks but for how long? And are you willing to...

I have had these corals between 2 and 3 months each. My lfs had been doing my water testing and never mentioned that when I buy the corals that they needed the Ca. supplements. I recently decided after coming to this BB, that I would take on this task. Anyway to make a long story short, I had...

I haven't been doing calcium tests, how inportant are they for keeping corals and such? and If I need to add this, what should I use? I will be buying the test kit, iodine, and such this weekend. I forgot to mention I have hard corals as well as soft corals.sponges,black polyps,gorgonians, and...

Technically Aiptasia is classified as an anenome (in the same family). 99% of the people who are into this hobby are against them because they are known to sting corals and fish witch has fatal capabilities, and the well known fact that they spread like wildfire. I had 3 aiptasia in my tank 5...

Why is it that with my hang on filters that have the bio-wheel companion, don't do any of this? The way my 1 filter works is the activated carbon cannister fills with water trapping all the detrus and debris, it is then fed through a tube to a hard plastic spray bar, this then flows down onto...

well due to recent expenses I'm only buying about 5lbs at a time. thanks though, I'll wait about 2 weeks then, because there was already alot of die off in thier tanks. Dan

Hey Joe, I bought peppermints last night too. Mine haven't started on my atapsia yet, but I am just hoping they will today. It is great to hear they are working for you too, so now there is hope for me and my infestation. So far I'm just shocked at how they found all these hiding spots in my LR...

I bought more LR yesterday from my lfs. They start the curing cycle in their curing tanks, so my question is how long should I wait befor introducing it to an established REEF? The new LR I have in a pail with a powerhead, so time isn't an issue. I just don't want to risk placing it too early...

If anyone were to ask me what this site is missing, not only would I agree with the FAQ, but I would also have to say that a comprehencive page that newmembers have to read before starting any posts (a welcoming page) This could include links to the store, FAQ, and images. Also I have noticed...
