How often are you doing these water changes?

I have heard of people using something like an egg carton, not the styrofoam kind, but the card board kind. I have an open top, was told not to use glass also and just didnt like the idea of having egg cartons on the top of my tank.

I have the stuff plugged into a surge protector, but i guess thats not the same as a GFI. Well thanks for the advice.

Any more suggestions or advice would be appreciated

I have some mexican turbo snails, hermit crabs, and mithrax crabs. They seem to do a good job on my algae. I dont think you will ever get away from having to scrape your glass. I have to scrape mine at least twice a week. My long spine sea urchin helps also.

Everything has reopened, not 100%, but opened none the less. Except my frog spawn, It is still kind of shriveled. My urchin is moving around and not shedding any needles anymore, but some of my coraline algae is white. Does anyone know what could be turning my coraline white?

Day 3 of my saga. I have changed the filter media in my filter, and also done 2 20% water changes. My sea urchin stopped shedding needles and most of my corals are slowly reopening. I have noticed that a lot of my coraline algae is turning white. Does anyone know what that could be from?

i Had a fuzzy dwarf lion. Great fish. After it got over its shy phase had lots of personality. I was told it would eat my decrative shrimp, but he never even bothered my cleaner or coral banded shrimp. He left all my other inverts alone also. In my opinion and expereince they are very reef safe.

ok thanks for the advice, sorry but i meant to say its a Reno 800 PH.

Earlier today my PH shorted out, like literally almost started on fire (sparks, smoke, etc..) I wasnt home but my son saw what was going on and unplugged the PH. There are little bits of plastic and debris floating around my tank, i got out what I could. Ever since it happend non of my corals...

Yes that is exactly what they look like, with a little better camera. LOL

Actually after looking at the polyps it is a blue snowflake polyp.

Ok, thanks for the advice.

ok i will try to count them. The LFS told me it was a goniopora, if it is then its requirements are the same as other gonioporas right?

ok, ill try that. thanks for the info.

I have PC lighting, 2 10k 65watt daylights, and 2 420 65watt blue actinic. They are both placed at the bottom of my tank in a section with good flow

I looked up blue snowflake polyps, and that is exactly what they look like.

unfortunatley my camera is a piece of crap. I will try to get another pic tommorow.

thanks for the compliments. The red coral is called goniopora or flower pot coral. It has grown quite a bit from the little frag i bought.

The 2 I have only have 1 mouth, they were frags when i bought them and they havent seemed to have grown any. I had a third one also but i didnt glue it to a rock and it got blown behind one of my base rocks and i havent seen it since.
