It is a favia brain coral as far as I know. I have 2 250 watt HQI lights on my 90 gallon tank. I was wondering if this was too much lighting for this coral. I'm sure I can put it in a more shaded area of the tank. Thanks for your imput.

I just got a 250 watt HQI metal halide retro kit that came with a galaxy ballast, reflector, and phoenix 14k lamp. I got it about 2 weeks ago. It seems now that the lighting is starting to become less intense. Is this possible or are my eyes just adjusting to the intense light?

I've noticed my skimmer is skimming as much. How do I clean it out to make it perform better? I have a coralife 220.

I actually like the 14k alot. I may end up trying 20k later on down the road though :).

I have a smallpiece that my local dealer gave to me for 10 bucks. I was just wondering the best way to get it attached to some rock. Thanks.

I was just wondering. I have 2 phoenix 14k bulbs. They seem to be very white with a small amount of blue in them.

I'm reading and it seems like the basic idea is to replace all evaporated water with kalk mix. So, suppose my tank loses 5 gallons of water a day. I would need to mix 5 gallons of kalk water to dose into the tank. Why can't I just dose 1 gallon of concentrated kalk water and add another 4...

Thats my plan :)

It isn't gurgling anymore.

I just put a piece of tape over it and then raised the water level to the right spot since it dropped. The amount of air bubbles in the water seems to be the same.

I don't know, let me go check... lol. I'm not talking about the tubing that comes out of the pump to give it air

I tried covering up the hole on top of the tube where the water exits. THis just causes the water level to lower, but it also allows the water to excape at a constant rate.

Do you mean that it flucuates that much during the day? Mine flucuates that much within a few minutes.

I have a corallife 220, and the water level in the skimmer flucuates about +/- and inch. I believe the problem may be the fact that the water excaping the skimmer isn't leaving in a consistent manner. Oxygen bubbles sometimes burst out of the escape, causing the level to lower. Is there...

I've heard that there are additives such as zeovit and probio that make the coloration of corals much better. Does anyone have any experience with such products? Is there a cheaper additive that will have the same results?

I just started my reef tank and wanted to get some nice corals in it now that everything is cycled. I really like LPS, SPS, leathers, Zoos, frogspawn(this may be a LPS? lol). I appreciate your time!

I have a 90gallon reef setup going. I didn't know how hostile these fish would be to each other. Thanks

All my parms at normal except nitrate which is slightly elevated. Was just wondering how long I would have to wait for this to be over. Thanks

My blue tang is brushing against the rock constantly. I was wondering if it could be anything else.

I can't really get a good glimpse of it, but I think there is a white spot on its left side above its eye. PLus, it is scratching against a rock and swimming only in a strong current. The strong current could help it get oxygen if it has ich. Anyone have any suggestions to help me ID ich?
