This is gona sound real dumb but this isnt the base for coraline is it? Never having lights, Ive never grown coraline on my rocks so I have no idea about this stuff.

Its that baked on looking kind where it just changes the color of the rock. And ya its on the sand too. Its the same trashy looking stuff that grows at LFS's so its gota go asap ha. Ive never had this problem before. For now Ive just been keeping the lights off and it helps but cant do that...

Since my new lights, a bunch of brown has appeared on my rock? what type of algae is this and how can I keep it from growing with these lights. Thanks

I would but the camera I have right now isnt capable of taking adequate pictures. I will load them up when my gf gives my camera back. I did some research and think I found the truth about these lil guys. I think they are tulip anemones. What should I do with them? As far as the trumpet looking...

SO these things have been moving around. Its really weird what could they be because i thought zoas dont move. They look like little anemones but more like zoas. They are not aiptista i know that but its really weird they are moving around. In addition there is a brown tubular thing that pops up...

My camera is gona be at my gf's for a while so I will have to make due with an old 3x 3.2 MP Sony ha. Bare with me until I get my camera in about a week. You can see the one in the middle and the few to the left shoulder of the one in center. Even worse but you can see the backwards s trail...

Cool thanks for the link, I was thinking Zoas, trumpets and toadstool. Would those be fairly easy to take care of? like i said i have really very minimal experience with coral and the only ones I have kept easily were a trumpet and a brain in a 3g that had a compact florescent screw in bulb. I...

Just got the new light, put it in, and they are zoa ha they came out and started flowing around lil pink and green ones and yep on some sort of coral exo.

I have a 10g that I recently upgraded the lighting to a BoostLED PAR30 Bulb. Its a 60 degree 2 Blue, 3 White light each at 3-watts. Now I am curious as to what types of corals can be kept under this rated lighting? I am fairly new to the reef tanks so any help would be appreciated!

Maybe this is better. They are alive, whether they are zoa or not is debatable. They opened up half way on me so far, ill be able to tell when they open further. And that light is not blue its just a horrible picture and the half actinic and purple colored coral/rock makes for horrible contrast...

I actually bought this live rock piece today for a dollar because it has what I believe to be 5-6 zoas on it? They haven't opened all the way up but what do you think? One of them is right in the middle of the picture.

This is not the bulb Im using but this shows the tank and the fixture I built for the bulb that should come in tomorrow. I ended up getting a PAR30 from BoostLED. Sorry the picture sucks, my gf has the camera so had to use the ol' BB.

Anyone ever hear of or have reference for BoostLED?

Oh and as far as looking cool, I'm building a floating hood over the 10g as we blog! Because right now were dealing with the ol' freshwater flap hood ha!

I was only curious as corals are not really a must for me. I would be interested in the LED look but that info about the PAR38 60-80 degree stuff is not quite enough. From what i found googling that, it is just an average LED bulb? Is there a specific kind that produces the best light? A really...

If i was to upgrade to the Current Nova 18W 460 Actinic/ 18W 12000K would I be able to support some simple soft corals in my 10g?

Looks great, hopefully you can keep it that clean as it matures

I have had many tanks over the years, I mean many. I have always had FOWLR tanks, some large aggressives, some nanos, and some reef style tanks with coral that didnt need much light. But here is the thing, as of today, I have two tanks: a 10g and a 29g. I have standard ugly lighitng on both and...

Only illegal in some cases, just strictly regulated. And the game species are much more regulated than a panther would be if you caught it down in the keys. Tropical fish are like a 20 fish bag limit or something. I know when I was younger I used to go down to the keys and slurp gun lil fish for...

Ya its a gag no doubt, panthers don't live this far up state anyways. We get a couple neat fish but nothing as pretty as a panther in Tampa.If not illegal, groupers are such good eaters with big personalities, I wouldn't doubt that gag would have made an awesome pet.
