I have the Current Dual Satellite on my 46 gallon bow. Great light. Enough light for soft corals like mushrooms, polyps. $365 seems high for PC lighting. I paid around $275 and that was at a LFS. Shop around you can find it cheaper.

Its probably a false reading from your hydrometer. I used a hydrometer for about 7 months and it always read 1.024. I bought a refractometer and the sg was 1.029. Room temperature can also be a factor in your readings. And inverts do better in a higher sg. 1.024-1.025 is ideal.

Im pretty sure that would be illegal. Check the local laws in Florida. Usually any removal of marine life is illegal.

I just finished a bottle of Purple Up and to be honest the pink and purple colralline is growing everywhere else but where i want it. On the rocks! Not sure if im gonna buy another bottle or not. I have some purple on a few rocks but nothing like id hoped.

Originally Posted by oceana depending on size that maybe good. one around softball size like the one i have in the above pick cost around 60 average around here They have one about that size for $80. These frags are more like the size of a handball. How should i acclimate it? drip or temp?

Im about to buy one of these for my reef. My LFS has a few nice frags they are selling for $40. Is this is a good price? I buy alot of stuff from there so i can probably get it for cheaper. This is definitely a beautiful coral. Does it need to be drip acclimated or temperature acclimated?

I change 10% weekly. Only thing i add is purple up. My calcium is 420 and my alk is 9.0. Been stable like that for months.

Was the LR you put in there already cured? If not, then that probably kick started your cycle. You are not ready for fish yet. Any sign of ammonia is bad for fish. You should be testing for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate at least 2 or 3 times a week. First your ammonia will spike, then fall. Then...
