bad pic but check out A. Suharsonoi

I would not put anything "anti-biotic" into a system that uses bacteria to breakdown and process waste. Big mistake IMO. Might kill way more beneficial bacteria and cause a cycle. Plus, if it is caused by the mushroom, there is nothing bacterial about the cause of the STN/RTN.

I voted for Mr. X because I love large sps tanks and its my plan for the future. But of course Im partial to my own even with its xenia lol

lol bob, I just noticed in the second pic that sps colony surrounded by xenia. im battling xenia like you, but you gotta help that acro out or the xenia will overtake it and shade it out. Ive gotten hundreds of dollars in store credit from bringing in xenia frags. just place a small piece of...

its a great fish, congrats!! the fav in my tank, so much personality.

for you, probably a 4 bulb t-5 fixture with individual reflectors would be the best option and still be good for anemones. Without the individual reflectors it likely would not be enough for the anemone, but would be enough for the other corals you want. A 6-bulb t-5 fixture would be even...

off topic... hey trippkid, are you just placing acro frags on top of the monti caps shelf? obviously it affects the monti in that area, but I kind of like the idea. It opens up more real estate for acro growth. How long have you been doing that? Any acros that have grown out that way?

Today started Week 2 of the Neo Zeo. on day 2 I actually realized that I had only 1/2 the amount of stones, so I increased those to 120g for the first week. I added another 120g today for a total of ~240g of zeolite stones in the Phosban reactor. Each week I will continue to add 120g. Also, I...

Yay pics!!!

welcome to the addiction!!

great shots! Tank's looking beautiful as always bob!!

first, dont use a watt per gallon rule, because its not the same comparing watt per gallon for PC, VHO, t5 or MH. But 2x250w MH with your 4x96w PC would not be too much light on a 75g. If you make the PC bulbs all actinic, you can use 10k or 14k MH bulbs and still get great colors in your tank...

theres so many causes of RTN and some are still unknown. usually they are caused by poor water quality or temperature. It can also be from poor acclimation, shock from shipping, or chemical warfare with other corals. In your case, it could be the lugol's or having been left in the sand for a...

encrusting montipora? need better pics to be clear.

You can likely fit a larger skimmer in a 20g under your tank. I have a 20g under my 65g. Its a typical overflow/skimmer -> fuge -> return pump design along with a phosban reactor. I use a clip on fan over it to control heat. Also, I use a home depot lamp with a compact flour. bulb. I had my...

2x150w would be plenty. google hello lights for a great selection of reflectors and retrofit kits. they have great customer service too

the magnets are amazing and are absolutely worth the extra money. I have 2 MJ1200s with sureflow kits. the new kits come with a second impellar that is white. those white impellars are to be used with MJ1200s only and actually produce 2100 gph. I have two of these on the wavemaker function...

a pic would be helpful, but I would think 16"-20" from the light would be fine.

Thanks guys!! Other than those three, the only other ORA is this piece of Red Planet from CoralJunky from his frag. I traded him some frags from my colonies. The green is coming back now, but its still small.
