    Dead coral

    Hi: For what it's worth, I would not use bleach to clean the coral. If it has really been out of the water for a year, you are probably very safe. A quick dunk in some boiling water should kill anything (terrestrial) from getting into the tank via the dead coral. My partner and I commonly bring...

    Are corals hard to take care of?

    I've read some good advice here, but finding a decent source for the corals has been most important for me. Having found that source, and educating myself about all corals I buy, I've had a great deal of luck with them since I got started six months ago. And the great thing is that you can...

    Toxicity of Perm Markers

    Thanks for the input everybody. The answer to why mark the inside is that it is a huge trash can (purchased new) and it is solid green. Thanks

    Refugium vs QT tank vs. Sump

    Hey everyone! New member here, and new hobbyist. I had a chance to pick up a 125 gallon tank at a steal from another hobbyist, but am waiting to buy a new house to fit it in. (Needless to say, that's a high quality problem.) I'm spending the next several months learning everything I can, and I...
