    Black Brittle Stars Falling Apart

    Thanks for your replies. My water parameters were all good. But, I hadn't fed them directly. Maybe they were hungry. I thought only eating the dietrus in the tank was enough. I'm going to wait til' I can get a tank upgrade and then will try again.

    c balance......anyone have any probs with it??

    I ran out of my usual additives Eco Systems "Reef". My LSF was out too, so I went with the C Balance. All my polyps began not to open as much, growth began to stop, and I got a nasty bloom of algae. Finally my LSF got Eco Systems "Reef" in stock again. My tank is up and growing again. You guys...

    Long Tenacle plate coral question

    I had the same problem. My plate slowly fell apart and died. I went about a month later and bought another. A month later that one died too. So, I quit buying them. I guess they aren't meant to be in my tank. I have a dozen other corals and they are all healthy and growing fast.

    Thanks so much for that info. I have a 29g reef. I got an extra 10g glass tank I don't use. And also an overflow box. That would probably work for building a sump..?

    SPONGES

    Hey! I got the same thing I think. Mine are kinda a grey, faint purple. Dome like w/ a opening on top, and these little legs just hangout. The "sponges?" are kind of clumped together. I wish I knew what they were. I'll try to get a pic too.

    Best Buy PC Lighting?

    I've searched around and found many sites on lighting, I'm just not sure what a good price is for different types. There are a few LFS around my area and neighboring cities. They're corals are outragiously expensive, I'm not sure how the dry goods are though. I guess I should just try to find a...

    Mistake undergravel filter

    I started my tank 2 years ago. I read and read and heard 20 different ways to setup a tank. Well, I made a mistake. I put a undergravel filter on the bottom. So, I got 20lbs LS, and 30lbs LR on top of the filter. I want to take it out though. I don't think it's a good thing to have it there...
