    colt corals don't require high intensity lighting, so if you have PC lighting you'll be fine. Just make sure you always research any coral before you buy it to make sure you have the proper lighting to support it. Hope i don't come off rude or forceful, because i'm not at all , just want to...

    Oh, our LFS told us the supplments were needed for the LR....(maybe it's not calcium, its a liquid that we have to add in two parts, my husband takes care of all that... ) So, in your opinion that stuff is not necessary?

    jdragunas.....how much experience do you have with the DIY live rock? Approx. how long before the LR spreads to the DIY? Does it depend on the ratio of LR to DIY? We are using the calcium supplements, heard that should help the proliferation. Thanks

    I'm in Mobile too.....and we have a 300 watt heater in our 75 gallon. Our tank is fairly new, but has been set up through the "winter months". It is set at the lowest setting. Actually, we had to put a fan in our canopy, and possibly need another one.....the lights are pretty warm and our...

Is there a favored type of arrangement, or is beauty in the eye of the beholder. Also, I have read about 'supergluing' or using marine...
