    RED SLIME AGAIN!

    Cheato is a bandaid for this. Wont fix the problem. I have a 125g and I got it in the beginning. Running your lights maybe too long. What kind of lighting are you using and how old are they? Are you sure you have enough flow? I have noticed that this usually happens more to newer tanks. What...

    Polyp ID please

    Got this the other day. Never seen them before. LFS says rare and that they only get them every so many years. Look real nice. $10 a head figured what the heck they are nice. What is it? Just a regular polyp attached to a rock

    worse timing ever

    Also, the off and on will kill your pump. Running it at night time and then shutting it off will start putting some excess wear and tear on the pump. Keep it on

    worse timing ever

    Actually I have heard that corals feed on that stuff but to much of it effects the quality of the water which is a domino effect. Leads to fish dying and coral dying. Leaving it off a few days should give them some feeding. Depends how long you will be out of a pump. Skimmer doesnt take place of...

    Refugium Light

    Little FYI for you all. I have been looking for a light at HD and Lowes for awhile now for my refugium. I noticed a lot of you use a clip on reflector/socket with a flood lamp. I also noticed that almost all of them are about 2700k or 3500k. In reading around I saw a test on both the 3500k and...

    Clam + Zebra Eel = ???

    I have a Zebra Eel that is several years old now and about 4ft long. I want to get a nice looking clam but I am afraid my eel will try to eat it. This eel is very good with all other fish and coral. I highly recommend this eel for any fish only or reef tank but they love crustaceans and...
