That makes sense. This coral seems to be dying at a very fast past and I want to stop it. I will move it higher in my tank. Will the porites benefit from DT's?

I asked this question yesterday and I don't know how to bump this to the top. Here are more details on my water parameters. I am losing my porites on a piece of LR with Christmas Tree Worms. I've had it for a couple of months and was doing great. A friend of ours was moving and was in a...

125 gal tank. (2)175 watt 10,000k MH. Salinity 1.23, CA 375, ALK. 2.97, low nitrate test 1 (was not able to do med. test so could be a little higher) pH 8.2, no phosphate. I did remove 2 red tree sponges that looked bad a couple of days ago. They were right next to the rock.

Tried to contact my fish guy but must be out of town. What is the coral growing on the rock with the Christmas tree worm? What would cause it to start to die from the bottom up? I have been having some problems with my water but checked yesterday and things were ok. Will it grow back?

I have been struggling lately with my water quality and I am wondering, what is the best way to lower nitrates? I added a lot of things (LR and corals) to my tank that I got from a friend of mine. He had a 120 which I am in the process of setting up. I have been running my magnum almost...

Hey mlm, My fish guy recommended that exact set up for my 120. Where did you find your lights? I need everything. Do you have a hood? Can you give me an idea on the cost?

Thanks:( I have four great kids. It might be as simple as I am just too old. (Who wants to admit that?) It still makes me curious though especially knowing about the baby who got West Nile before they were born. It's a wonder any of us turn out. I will let you know what the OB/GYN says.

I am sad to say that last week the pregnancy did end in a miscarriage. At seven weeks they did not find a heart beat. As we search for answers as to why, it occured to me that I should consider the possibility, especially if we decided to try again. We may not ever find the reason but if this...

How does one find out how toxic something is? I was stung by my hammer a number of weeks ago and I still have a mark and occassionally it will itch. Do they have toxins that will enter the blood stream? If so, could it harm a fetus?

Has anyone ever tried to design a stand/system that would channel water to a drain in the event it overflows? I really need some opinions.

I have a spiney urchin that is black with 5 white dots. I saw a needle on the substrate. Is it normal for them to loose needles or is something wrong?

How much light do fish require? I have a 29 gal that I am holding fish in for my 120 and I only have the small strip light that came with the tank. Should I add more light? I think that it will be at least a month or 2 before I will be able to move them.

The white one is really a light green. The pic is not showing its true color.

These are a couple of the anemones that I bought back with me from Chicago. They have grown quite a bit. I don't know if there is anything special about either one. I am still in the process of setting up the 120 that they will go in.

I don't understand what is happening. I have a leather coral that will be fine for weeks. All of a sudden a portion of the tip will start rotting away. I will cut off the bad part and it will be fine. I thought that maybe I should move it so I moved it higher in my tank. What causes this...

My daughter teases me about this board. She thought people here were a lot older. She is 16. She was surprised when I told her that most were between 20-30. She will be even more surprised when I tell her she is going to have a new brother or sister this summer. That will make five for me...

Someone told me today that they do not like Berlin skimmers. What are some of the best skimmers for a 120?

I am sure that no too long ago a poll was taken on how long everyone leaves their lights on but I can't find it. Does anyone know where it is?

Here is a pic.

I recently acquired a 120 gal from a friend of ours. Since this tank will be next to my 125 I would like it to look different. I still want corals and fish but I would some things that would not necessarily be compatible with my 125. I am looking for either some suggestions, websites or...
