    I've seen them going for much much more... I've seen them as high as $150 per polyp... IMO you get what you pay for... Thr $50 per polyp ones look soooooo much better than the $10-$30 per polyp frags...

    Video of overstocked tank?

    I was wondering if anyone knows the link for the video of the tank from Japan (I think) that is beyond overstocked with like 20 angels and like 20 tangs in something small like a 60 gal tank. It was a barebottom tank and IIRC the guys username was something like "jun666" on you tube... I'm...

    Algea scraping question

    Usually when you scrape off coraline algae the spores go into the water colum and you actually end up growing more coraline where the spores land...

    Dinoflagellets or something else?

    Is it slimey and snotty like? If it is then it's dino's... I just had a battle with dinos a few months ago. I would first cut the lighting to 4 hours a day and start dripping kalk water to keep the pH at 8.4ish and then just wait. I did a water change right before I started doing this to try...

    uv sterilizers and bubble algae

    Some1 in my local club posted this... I use a standard 12" length of rigid airline attached to a length of flexible air line to set up a siphon. On the business end of the rigid airline, use a blade to sharpen the tubing to a fine point. Get your siphon going, and then using a quick jabbing...

    Looking at a clam

    Personally if the T5 doesn't have indiv reflectors I wouldn't put a clam in unless it's right at the top of the tank. I have someone from my local club who has a 8x54w fixture with parabolic reflector. I'm in line to get the clubs light meter tomorrow and want to compare his fixture to my...

    Consistently low PH - Is sandbed depth the cause?

    monti caps

    Some are faster than others... I have an orange/red one that grows very fast (so fast I got it for free because the person had too much). I have an purple cap that grows so slow... I have a candy apple green that grows inbetween... The only thing about having them in a small tank is that for...

    Consistently low PH - Is sandbed depth the cause?

    I used to keep my tank around 8.1 until I had a battle with dino and now it's at 8.3-8.4 because I continue to drip kalk. I had no problems keeping corals when it was at 8.1. You alk being at 2.5 meq/l is a little low IMO. Try bumping it up to 3.5-4.5 meq/l Also what is you calc and mag at...
