Are the requirements for pipe organs much like xenia? Should I place them near the top or bottom of tank. tank is 28inches high. I am running 2x250 MH and 4x110 actinics. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

How hot does it have to get to be bad for inverts and such in a tank? I am cycling now, but I'm trying to prepare for the future. My temp can get up to 85 during the day and that's with my air running most of the time. I am running 2x250watt MH and 4x110 actinics. I have two 3" fans pulling...

I've heard it isn't too smart to keep both SPS and LPS in the same tank. They are supposed to do some type of chemical warfare. Does anyone have experience with this? Maybe some can be kept together still. Any comments appreciated.

Wow, Just completed setting up a 105 show with 4x110 uri actinics and 2x250 10000K MH. I'm just running the actinics through the cycle and it makes my kitchen and living room blue in the evening. The tank is in the dining area. Anyone else have that problem? The neighbors probably think I'm...

Has anyone found a good light to simulate moonlight? If so, what online site may have it. Thanks

Do anthias school? I know chromis and maybe some cardinals do. Anyone have experience with fish other than chromis in a school? Thanks

Anyone sucessfully pair maroon clowns that didn't come together as a pair? If so, how did you do it. I thought of keeping the smaller of the two in a intank safety house where the larger fish could see it. It would probably try to attack the smaller fish until it was sure that it was not...

Does anyone know if an under the tank refugium is better or worse than the hangon cpr type? Will the copepods get destroyed in the return pump? I don't know if the cpr uses a return pump or if it's just an overflow. Have any info? Thanks

Are there any reef safe butterfly fish? I want a copperband and yellow or heniochos for a 90 gal.

I have some real nice orange button polyps that are growing slowly onto other rocks, but I would like to propagate them better. There are also some multicoloreds on this rock, but in the center of the rock. I have never had any success seperating them from the mother colony for frags. If...

Would 2x400watt halides(6500K) and 2 NO 40watt actinic 03s be too much for a 90 gallon tank? I Want to keep mainly softies and some sps not much on the sps side for now i think. Thanks

Can anyone tell me why the pH changes as the lights go out? Will this still happen if you use a buffer such as seachem reef buffer? It's just something I was wondering about. Thanks

How do I raise my pH safely. It is around 8.1 during the day. I want it around 8.3. I have xenias that pulse slightly and would like to have them pulse quicker. I read that a higher pH would make them do this. Any help? Thanks

What can be causing my red algea bloom?. My nitrates are less than 10, but I don't have a test for phosphates. I don't see any stress on my corals or fish, but it sure is unsightly. Please advise if possible. Thanks

Ok, now that I have some info on mushroom propagation, Does anyone have an easy way of transfering a few polyps from a healthy colony to new rocks? Garf says pull them off with a pair of tweezers. Won't that tear the base or do they let go quite easily. I have some that have somehow attached...

My anenome is turning brown. It was white with purple tips when I got it. I have had it for 3 weeks now and parts of it is turning brown. Not that it looks unhealthy. It eats fine too. Will it eventually lose it's whitish color and purple tips? I haven't had an anenome like this before...

I saw my green brittle star try to eat my seabae anemone yesterday. It grabbed it and pulled it out of the sand before finally letting go. Could this be a sign that my anenome is in trouble? It looks good except that it seems to be slowly getting a shade darker in color. It is a purple tip...

Will a fluidized sand bed reduce nitrates or increase nitrates in a system that uses a sand-bed and live rock? I was just curious, my nitrates have come down to 15 after adding a 3in sandbed, but i want them at <5. Thanks for info

Good day to all, I have heard that peppermint shrimp will eat apastasia anenomes. I have started to notice a few in my tank. Is that all they will eat? Maybe a silly question, but will they attack my seabae anenome too? I wanted to find out before I got 1 or 2 of these guys. Let me know...
