These polyps have been doing this for less than a week. I just moved them away from two large colt frags that was touching them because of current. I removed a condylactus (atlantic) anenome from the tank that was huge and stinging others, not near the polyps but maybe some tentacles floated...

I have a rock with about 60-70 zoanthid polyps on it about half are open normal the others are not. I have had the rock about 45 days and it has been open full almost all the time. It sits about 80% down from 2 250w 6500k MH's and 2 110 VHO actinics. My water parms are all 0, with DKH about 12...

I leave mine on 24/7... This seems to work fine, I have noticed a little extra "scum" sometimes when I feed phyto or other liquid food, but not always. The growth in all my corals tells me they are getting plenty of the stuff you would think the skimmer might be pulling out, if left on too much. HTH

I have had power go out from storms or house maint and the GFI plug (in the wall, not a strip) never needs to be reset, only if a surge cause it to trip. I would try putting in a regular GFI outlet. Don't get me wrong my tank is my obsession too...however, stick your hand in a tank with 110vac...

I feed it pretty regularly, it gets DT's in the water as well as a mix of shrimp, daphnia, and some other stuff mixed together into a liquid and doses with a baster. I do have him under 2 250W MH with 2 110W VHO actinics and he is in the bright areas....I will try a move lower in the shade

I have this wellsophylia brain that isnt concistently opening up, he is in the tank less than 1 month. I have other brains (not me !! the ones in the tank) that are doing great, as well as other SPS and LPS. I think this is just an acclimation issue. My question is how long do you leave a...

What type of "meaty foods" are you feeding the open brains?? I direct feed DT's , but nothing else

I'm not afraid of metal degredation....I'm worried about possibility of metal leaching back into water and harming corals, fish etc.

I need a new heater for my sump...after hearing all the horror stories about broken glass leading to electrical disasters in tanks, I'm ordering a fully submersible titanium heater Any concerns about the metal in a reef system ???

HEY JACKSONPT.... What type of camera did you use to take the pix of your GSP...awesome quality

I have star polyps which grow like weeds. They spread to other rocks with a purple mat like substance very quickly, I even have put small rubble rock around the main piece and as it grows I cut it with a razor blade and move to another spot in the tank or trade out with others. It is almost a...

I have a leather coral which I have taken out of my tank often to cut pieces off and grow on to rubble rock. I have not done this in about 2 months and the "mother" piece of coral has grown so much it now is attached to 3 seperate pieces of LR. I cant take all 3 pieces of LR at the same time and...

I have cut my Colt about 8 times and all frag pieces did great as did the "mother" piece. I take the Colt out of the tank and put it in a small bowl with tank water, slice a piece at least 1-2" with a new, sharp razor blade. I then pierce the piece with a plastic toothpick and elastic band it to...

What kind of food/additive are you adding for things like polyps,zooanthoids,dusters etc.??? I have been using DT's with what seems like good success, but just wondering if thats the best route ( buying live stuff seems costly on internet shipping) What about Weiss Spectra Vital or Kent Phyto...

I add Kent Kalk as a top off for evaporation and I add about 1 tbl of Iodine every week...thats it...ALL in tank is awesome with polyps and corals growing and I frag some things and they are growing too. I just started adding the Kent Probuffer once every 3 days since I noticed the DKH level...

My KH and ALK seem to be heading down lately, I add Kent ProBuffer and it brings it back up but goes down again. I have a 75g with a 35g sump, 125lbs LR and lots of LPS and soft coral, shrooms and more. I slowly am adding more stuff to the tank. Is this decline a natural occurance, and I will...

How big is too big?? I'm looking into an emerald now to help cleanup crew and I dont know what is a good size...

They had about 6...I dont know how long they are in store..seem to sell pretty quick. I know you need to acclimate for a long time by slowly adding your tank water over 3-4 hr period. I have 70g tank with 125 lbs of LR over 1 year...2 250w 6500k MH 2 110w VHO actinic..lots of different corals

LFS is selling them...they look real nice...are said to be hardy and reef safe. Anybody know anything about them?
