    Crazy Frogspawn Growth

    The first pic was from 4 years ago..when I first put a branching frog in my 55g. The second was last year before I was forced to frag it.. The last pic is todays growth and I have fragged it countless times ( breaking branches off and placing in my 180g ) I can barely keep up with it...

    New Bluethroat

    After about 3 mths of hounding the LF, I have found another replacement male blue throat. I had put in a pair ( Male , Female ), a few mths ago but the male never did adjust and it died in 4 days. I was very hesitant on how this one would adapt at first..especially with the female having been in...

    Algae ID??

    I have no clue what this stuff is. It is growing in an area with low flow. It is a purple in color. It started growing in my established 55 a while ago. Anyone know what this is?

    Blue Throat Triggers- shy?

    Recently I picked up a male and a female blue throat trigger. I have had them for about 2 weeks in my 180 now....are they a very shy fish? I can barely sneak up on the tank without them bolting and hiding in the rockwork. The male doesn't come out barely at all. I'm a little worried about them...

    Here is a tip...or experience...

    I'm not sure how many of you keep turbo snails in your refuge, but somehow one of mine crawled over the baffle down to the bulkhead fitting , got sucked to the sump...and was stuck in the 90 Deg fitting going into my sump. Slowed the flow from my refuge so much that my sump ran dry and my refuge...

    Coral ID?

    Does anyone have an idea on what type of coral this is? SPS of some sort.. I had a small finger peice of it given to me a few years ago from another tank and wedged it in my rock in my 55 gal...since then it has grown quite a bit. I want to break off a piece and place in my 180, just curious as...

    Stocking...180 Gallon?

    [hr] I originally had this posted in the reef section...might get better input here. So it has been about a mth and I am cycled and ready to start stocking. I have already transferred some of my crazy abundance of corals outgrowing my 55 ( leathers, branching frog, shrooms , zoos e.t.c ) to my...

    skimmer woes

    I posted this in the equipment section as well. I have been running a Seaclone 100 in my 50 gal reef for well over a year now. No problems, lots of sludge produced. But just yesterday it started dumping TONS of minute bubbles into the tank. I didnt feed, or put in any chemicals...... I have...

    shrinking coral??

    what would make this leather shrink up like this. All other corals ( forgspawn, shrooms, cabbage leather, galaxea, polyps, finger leather ) are growing like crazy, yet this one is shrinking?? Could it be due to the fact that my clowns have taken up residence...and are hosting it? I don't know...

    identify??

    I looked at my tank about an hour or two after lights off and seen the oddest thing. It was pinkish in color, about 1" long by 1/2" wide and was flat. There wasnt a head that I could see. It looked like a nudibranch or large flatworm or something?? It moved like a nudibranch and was on top of...
