I've had mine a while- I think I paid around $20 for it- it was a small frag then. Seems to grow pretty fast- similar to my colt.

I would agree on the Kenya Tree. Mine recently had "babies"- lost all but one of it's branches. The branches that were shed attached themselves to various places around my tank. Picked them up and threw them in a cup with rubble. They're about ready to be placed now!!! The first pic is my frag...

That hermit is a pain in the $)(*-#)(!!!!! He is at least an inch and a half- maybe bigger. He enjoys a snail or two every now and then. I try to keep him well fed, so that helps with the snail issue. He does such a great job keeping my tank clean that I hate to get rid of him. The biggest issue...

Can I tell my dad I got a deal on them for $30? : ) That's the problem with having two reefers in the same house- too much competition!

I took your advice but didn't put the rubble in the cup- after the frag (in the case a small Colt frag) attached, I cut the cup and glued the plastic onto a small rock. The frag attached pretty easy- within a few days. This is the way I'm going from now on- thanks for the advice!

Just wanted to post a pic of my new guys!!! Sorry it's fuzzy- best I could get.

My Kenya did something similar- he started to lose all his branches and looked pretty bad. I thought it was dead until I found the loose branches were attaching to my live rock and growing. Talked to my LFS and they said that's how they multiply. The "mother" still doesn't look too great, but it...

No clue as to how it got so high! I had been putting supplements in, but nothing for calcium. They may have contained calcium, though. I've done a 10% water change and plan another for this weekend. Everything is doing great (knock on wood)- my bubble coral even had a "baby" not too long ago...

I read a post a while back in regards to fragging- it suggested putting your frags into a plastic cup (tupperwear like) with some rubble, net the top and place in a low flow area. Is there any chance that using a plastic cup can hurt my tank? My dad warned that he once replaced a plastic piece...

As far as all other readings, everything was good. I do my weekly water changes and stay current on my tests, so should I be worried right now? I have a wet/dry- not sure of the brand. I checked my calcium a while back, and it was a little high- maybe 550 or so. Will this run it's course, or...

Had my water tested at LFS and the guy said my calcium was high- over 700. He said he couldn't read it b/c it was so high. I watched him do the test, and he put over 30 + drops and it didn't turn blue. He didn't really say anything about it, but I was just curious if this is a bad thing? My tank...

Any estimate on cost for something like that? Just brainstorming with my dad, and thought maybe a five gallon or so bucket with a drip valve at the bottom? Cheap and seems easy enough- but then again, everytime I say that it turns into a huge hassel!

I did a search on building an ATO, but most of the posts were old and missing pictures. Could anyone help me out on how to build a simple ATO for a 55 gallon? Getting tired of filling up my tank every other day! Thanks!

I've had mixed results when trying to glue corals. Anything that has slime on it- mushrooms, colt coral, etc. have failed to attach properly. Other people on this site have manage to do it though. I have had great success with zoo's- started with two small frags that broke off and now have a...

Wont the crabs pop them? I got a few yesterday... hope they're hungry!

I'll try to borrow a digital camera but it may take a bit.

I've noticed about 10 olive green balls on my bubble coral about 1/4 inch around. They are hard. The coral seems to be dying on that one side. Anyone give me some direction?

I finally got brave enough to frag a part of my HUGE colt coral. The mother is doing very well- the spot where I cut is fine. The baby hasn't perked up as much as the mother. It's only been two days, so I'm hoping it will come around. The individual polyps on it are out and fine, it just isn't...

super glue won't work then?

I was just given 8 baby PomPom Xenias. What is best way to attach to LR? They are all less than an inch and a half tall :help: :help:
