Dipping corals is a practice that is done for newly acquired corals to get rid of any hitchikers that may be in the corals. It is a good practice to get into, especially if you are unfamiliar with the store or online vendor you acquired the coral from. I use a product by Seachem called Reef Dip...

Are you sure they are indeed long tentacle plates? My short tentacle plate has its tentacles out almost 24/7. Very seldom are they in. Here is a pic of mine to see if it is what you are getting. Long tentacle plate corals have almost anemone type tentacles. Is this what you are getting?

I disagree with pc lighting not being enough for a fox coral. I had a beautiful fox coral that was under pc lighting for almost 22 months. I upgraded to MH lighting and I failed to cover it. Very sad day for me. Fox Corals do not like too much light. I have a new one that is somewhat shaded...

I have a Aqua C Remora Pro and absolutely love it. No drilling needed, just put together, and plug in. It's a fantastic skimmer, with very little maintenance needed.

Don't you just hate it when the fish don't read the same books that we do?

Journeyman is absolutely right. I have two bubble tips, that I have fed maybe 10 times in 2 years. High light is really all they need. But, I am worried with 2 anenomes in a 29g tank may in the long run not be such a good idea. They will actually release chemicals to create havoc on each other...

Should be just fine. They are beautiful. Just be sure you have no worm eaters. Butterflies, in particular.

Very nice, all the beauty of an anenome without the wandering!! Good luck with all three.

Originally Posted by Debbie Wanting to know if there are any LPS corals that are suitable for a 4 yr old 10 gal nano with PC lighting?? If possible get a green fox coral, beautiful, no sweeper tenticles, and very easy coral. I would post a pic of mine, but having trouble with the pics until...

Yeah, wouldn't it be nice to buy a saltwater fish for .99!!! But, then again, the ocean would be pretty bare if that was the case. I believe that the prices could possibly be lower, but with all the people out there that think that a fish is........well, just a fish.....Better that people think...

My first salwater tank was fish only. 55g with underground filter, and fake colored and looking coral. This was set up Labor day weekend of 1999. Got a leak in this tank, so only thing available real fast was a 46g bowfront. Had this tank for many years. I have only been into reef tanks since...

Not mandatory, but definately not recommended if you have any sand sifters. A flat rock is just fine.

I am really frusrated.......I have been trying for about an hour to post pics tonight and everytime it says that it failed.....UGH. I took some awesome pics today and want to share, help me out here.

Thanks all for the reply's. I am interested in the fragging part. They are attached to a small rock, can I just cut them off the rock? Out of the tank of course. I have a colt in the same tank. But, I run massive amounts of charcoal. Change the charcoal often. Any tank with leathers should be...

I have a cabbage coral that has done very well. I am curious as to how fast do they usually grow? I am enclosing a pic from Sept 07 that has 7 heads, and one from Jan 08 that now has 9 heads. At this rate it will take over the spot pretty fast. Do they usually grow this fast? I did change from...

That is the advantage of living on the west coast. Not too many gorgeous fish come out of the atlantic. Job well done. Good luck with it.

Beautiful puffer. Full tank shot?

That is a beautiful wrasse. How common are they? Don't seem to get any of them around here. You always seem to get the not so common fish murph.
