water temp about 81 degrees. Sebae Shroons Candy Canes Trachyphilia - spelling?? Xenia Clam Coral tree Star polyps Yellow polyps Devils Finger Flower Pot Pagoda are all doing fine, except the zoo's.

OK...Still having problems with my zoo's. Calcium level is normal, all other parameters are great. Adding magnesium and strontium as prescribed, water change also and my zoo's are still looking dormant. I have a good size Devils's Finger in my tank and I was told that this can release an...

I've got a friend who is getting interference on his TV when his MH's come on. There is no interference on the TV when there is a DVD playing but when the TV is showing regular cable television, there is static and snow on the TV screen. When the halides go off, the interference is gone. His...

I've got 305 watts for a 50 bow tank- Zo's Open Brain Seabae Star polypls Shroons Xenia Yellow Polys Coral Tree Devil's Finger Flower Pots Hammer Coral Toadstool Candy Cane All doing very well with that amount of light

Scarface hasn't replied yet but he suggested it may be too much calcium. My last reading was at 450 - 500ppm. It was about 350 - 400 before I added about 25 pound piece of liverock which was about the time the zo's started shutting down now that I think about it. So, I lower the calcium I'm...

Scarface: Did yours look similar to these when they were 'dormant'?

Thanks scarface...I'll lighten up on the calcium and see what happens....I'm going to post some picks in a few hours. Let me know if this is what yours looked like...

Water temp varies from 77 to 79 degrees. Some of these colonies have been in the tank for several months to a year and this just started to happen. Maybe a few polyps will semi-open out of the 50 to 100 in the colony. The colonies are not disintegrating, they are not opeing at night, no fish...

I just helped a friend set up a 100gal with two seperate ref's with a pump in each ref to send back to the tank. The two returns (from the refs to the tank) were joined at a 1" piece of PVC with 1" ball valve and then sent back to the returns, to the tank. That essentially made the flow rate...

What's the best light level, flow, and location for an LPS trachy? It's about 3 inches across at the widest part, 3 clove shaped. Thanks

These colonies have been in the tank for several months, no flow or light chages....

In one half of my tank the zoo's are open. In the other half of the tank the zoo's are not oopening. It has been like this for about a week. Any suggestions?

Right now, none. I'll pick up another one at some point. I used pellets, flake, zooplankton and it only was interested in picking on algae....

What's the best food for a flame angel? I haven't had much luck with them. I have the algae sheets but it wasn't interested. There was plenty of algae for it to pick at but I've lost two of them in the past month. Both lasted for about three days. The stomachs weren't caved in, all the...

I removed a 4 stripe last week because it was getting to big and bossy. Had to move some pieces of live rock, had a buddy with two nets in the tank and I was trying to move him near the net. After about 45 minutes, caught. No more damsel fish for me. Pain in the ass either way.

...54 gal bowfront with about 70 lbs of live rock... Thanks guys. He'll be the lone tang of the tank then.....

I've got a Sailfin tang, not a Red Sea, and I'd like to add one of the following: Powder Blue Purple Achilles Powder Brown Which of these would be the best fit with the Sailfin? My Seabae is getting huge! Thanks

As far as feeding the anemone is concerned...I use a piece of welding aluminum..no really. It's aboout 30 inches long and about 1/8 inch diameter. Before feeding the anemone I'll drop small pieces of the same food in the tank so the hermits, cleaner shrimp, and other fish won't take it from...

I put in a new lighting system a few months ago. I use to have just 135 watts of pc's but switched those to actinic blues and added a 175w MH. Everything is doing fine to better but my white pagoda has not opened fully in about 3 weeks. My yellow pagoga is fine. They are both in about the...

I've got a colony in a high flow strong light area that is growing like crazy. A few 'stalks' are about two thumbs thick and real bushey. Another colony is lower flow and lower light and doing very well also. Not as thick and fast growing but doing fine.
