    Good Colorful First Coral

    Stay away from the flower pot (gonipora) for now if not forever. That was my first coral over a year ago. I did not research it and did not know anything about them. From what I understand now, very few people have success with these if any success at all. Most die within a year for even people...

    Iodine

    Xenia love iodine. They pump like crazy when you poor some in near them. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think any other corals are bugged by it. I've got leathers, mushrooms, hammer, star polyps, etc and they never get bugged by it. I am interested to find out what someone else has to say though.

    ID Please!

    sweet! looks like you got some species of mushrooms (i think). Don't worry they aren't a problem if they are mushrooms. I had a rock for over a year and then one popped up.

    question for those with RO units

    how do these things actually work? Does water just fill up in that little tank? Where do you get the water from? We are building a new house and I'd like to put one in my bathroom next to my tank but I wouldn't know where to put it?

    Red Kelp

    THanks bang. I'm kind of curious how someone would reattach it to a rock if I cut it down a bit though? Do you know? Or would it just be used for food or something?

    Diatoms all of a sudden.Why?

    I changed my coral life 50/50 about 3 months ago and those things are supposed to have 12 months of guaranteed life. I changed my daytimes at the same time... maybe it is the daytime lights causing it though cause only the front part of the sand (right under the daytimes) is what gets this junk...

    Diatoms all of a sudden.Why?

    Hey I'm having the same problem right now. Had the tank running for over a year and am just now getting this. The only difference is I do get all my water at the LFS.

    Red Kelp

    Sorry if I spelled it wrong but I've got some red kelp growing in my tank. I was told that it is "prized" and hard to come by. It doesn't really bother me, it just kind of looks like another coral but it's starting to get too big. So is it safe to keep in my tank? Is it safe to prune it down? Is...

    why aren't they more active?

    If your poly filter was already brown then you have something that's off the charts and that's and that's probably why your fish died. Maybe let the water cycle for a little while longer before trying to add something else.

    Why O Why O Why

    dude if they're still alive then they have a chance even if it's a small one. If you just don't want them anymore... at least take them to your LFS and donate the fish to them. Oh and one more thing. You better learn some patience pretty fast with this hobby or your not gonna be very successful...

    why aren't they more active?

    Aquarium Concepts does stock corals but nothing close to the Reef Shop. You will probably be ok with some corals as long as your lighting is ok. If you fish had a disease or something it normally can't be transfered to corals. If I were you I'd take a water sample up to the Reef Shop and talk to...

    why aren't they more active?

    I think you are thinking of the Pet Place. That's the one on Penn. It sucks so bad. How in the world do they let it get so runned down? I just don't understand. it's like they don't care about anything. It wouldn't be a half bad place if they just cleaned and acted like they care. My favorite...

    Computer software

    hey thanks msd2. I have pc's but I don't use them everyday. I just keep them around in case something comes along that I would need it. That's why i'm looking for mac. But that did look pretty cool.

    Hey sorry I forgot to ask. Where do you go? Do you know of some place I don't? Anything in Lindsey or Norman?

    Computer software

    Just check this site out so you can see the aquarium software they made then you'll understand. I'm just curious if anyone knows anything other than this that is as good or better than this. http://www.everydaysoftware.net/maquarium/index.html

    why aren't they more active?

    aw man that sucks so bad. Unfortunitly you gotta get used to that sort of thing happening. You're just lucky they weren't more expensive than clowns. I just had a brand new black and white clown jump out of my tank a few days ago and it sucks. Be sure and check your tank levels again. Check...

    Coraline Algae Question?

    Hey razor another thing about the leather. Well mine over the past 6 months has really grown tall. It was about 4 inches and now it's probably 6 or 7... but the base of it at the very bottom has shrivled up a lot. It used to be almost an inch and now it's probably a quarter of an inch. About...

    Computer software

    Look dude... you're not gonna win on this one. Have you ever tried a Mac? NO. You think what you want to think about macs. Try one for 3 months and you'll get a whole new attitude. I used to think the same way you do. My father tried to get us to buy macs when we were younger and I came up with...

    Computer software

    HAHA... I'm not gonna start a Mac vs Pc argument here. But I do own a PC. I've owned PC's for 10 years and bought a mac to accompany them two years ago. I'll never go without one again. Do yourself a favor a try an apple before you think things like that. I've never run into problems finding...
