    Emperor 400 as an HOB Refugium?

    Pulsing Xenia problems

    I cannot seem to keep Xenia alive for some unknown reason. This is the third time I have tried now. I have corrected every possible thing I can think of that could be wrong, making these things die. I just bought a super huge colony of them for 60 bucks, thinking that I could keep at least half...

    Feather Duster won't come out...

    I just bought him yesterday. Looked beautiful in the store. I acclimated it by floating it in the tank for about 40 minutes. Then I put it in a bucket for 30 mins dumping a cup of tank water every 5 mins. He still hasn't shown his feathers. It has been about 26 hours since introduced. Did I...
