well its not doing it now, so there is no way to tell which one is bad. i have got shocked before when my arm was wet, and i stuck it in the tank, and touched the light fixture at the same time. if im off tommorow i am going to inspect all my wiring, and thats a lot of work.

everytime i stick my hand in my tank water it shocks me! and sometimes it's a pretty good jolt! but everything in my tank is doing fine. and even when i stick my finger in there and it shocks me they still have no reaction at all. what could be causing this and why is it shocking me and they are...

my whole fuge is covered with a layer of cyano, because i have a turf scrubber in there and the lights run 18 hours a day. but i just turn my return pump off when doing water changes and clean it out. never had a problem with it so far

im not very good at takin pics but thats what i came up with those are after i took my monster duncan colony (25+ heads) and put it in the 30 cube

i think the top one is a subulata (not 100%) and i dont remember what the other is. i got them cuz they were bright purple, and i needed some purple. i got them at the divers den Quote: Originally Posted by nikeSB def not a birdsnest (seriatopora sp.). its def an acro (acropora sp.) but cant...

got 2 new acro's today, will get pic's up tommorow. i am slowly but surely going to make my 100 gal into sps dominant tank. the top is already pretty well stocked with sps. but i do wish that i wouldnt have put the monti digita's in there, i just don't care for them that much. but it's a lil...

like it said got some acro's coming tommorow around 3 pm my question is how should i acclimate them? i usually just temp acclimate my corals then set them in at the bottom and work them to where i want them. but i have never ordered sps online, just bought them locally. so should i drip them for...
