I bought this coral on Sunday. My LFS told me it was a type of goniopora. But I have been looking all over the internet and cant find anything in the goni family that looks like this. The closest thing i see is stypholora (dont know about spelling). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to post some pics from a year ago when I first started my tank and some current pics.

I have purchased a few rics, 1 green and 1 yellow. I have had them for 6-8 months. How long can I expect before they start propogating and spreading. All my other corals have grown tremendously over the past year. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Everyone, I bought this coral from my LFS on Sunday, he told me what it was but I forgot. He said it would do well under my PC lighting so I bought it. I acclimated it for about 1.5 hrs and then put it on the bottom of my tank in the sand. By the next morning it had lost a lot of its...

It has been about 2 months since ive had anything in my QT. Do I have to cycle the QT again before I put anything in it?

I was just wondering how often people have to scrape the glass of their fish tanks? I have to scrape 3-4 times per week. is that normal? Also I swithched to RO water about a month ago, but I am still getting brown diatoms on my sand, and still have traces of phosphates. I cant figure it out...

I have been feeding my lion fish frozen krill for about a month now. I read that having a diet soley of frozen krill can lead to digestive problems down the road. Is this true? I was also wondering, once a fish has become used to frozen foods, will they still try and catch live foods? Also, is...

Yesterday I noticed some little white specks on my coral beautys dorsal fins. I have previously lost all my fish to ich. So i kept my DT empty for six weeks, and bought and cycled a QT. My CB was quarantined for 3 weeks before being added to the DT. I then bought a fuzzy dwarf lion fish and...

Is it normal to get an ammonia spike after adding fish into the DT? My tank has been sitting idle for 7 weeks following an ich outbreak. I was still feeding, because I spot feed my sun corals, and also have mithrax crabs, hermit crabs, and a brittle star. I transferred my Coral Beauty from my...

Are lion fish susceptible to ick? I have been observing my lion fish and think it would be very difficult to see if they had ick due to their color.

I was thinking about buying one of these but don't know if I should get the 3 or 4 stage. Is there that big of a difference. I was looking at the 24GPD model. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Can anyone tell me why these fish are not considered reef safe? In the description it says they roam around they reef and they eat clam and shrimp and the longnose eats worms, and the raccoon will eat aipstasia. Are they extremely aggressive, eat corals or inverts? I appreciate any information...

I am going to the LFS this weekend to get something, not sure what yet. I was thinking a Bluejaw. I have a 55 gallon reef. Is my tank large enough? I have snails, crabs, a brittle star, a coral beauty, cleaner shrimp, coral banded shrimp. and various types of corals for live stock. They are...

I am acclimating my Coral Beauty to my DT this weekend. I just wanted some tips or opinions about how to acclimate it. I was goiong to catch it and put it in a plastic baggy, and add water every5-10 min. Is this an acceptable way?

I added some marine buffer earlier today, as I do about once or twice a week. I went out for a few hours and came back. The frogspawn was all shriveled up and secreting mucus, some of the tentacles looked popped and brown. Everything else in the tank is fine. My water checked out ok. SG 1.024...

I just saw a picture of one in a catalog, but can't seem to find any information about them. Has anybody heard of this type of trigger, and if so could you please give me some info? I appreciate it. Thanks

Just went to the LFS today and picked up a few frags and a coral beauty. CB is in my QT and I picked up a Yellow Ric. I have never seen a yellow one. Sorry about picture quality (crappy camera). The LFS also had some blue zoos, but they were charging $15/ ployp. Is that a good price?

I have been getting a nasty film on the top of my water as well as brown bubbles. I was having a problem with cyano, so I purchased another powerhead (Reno 800) and hooked up a fluval 204 that I bought 10 years ago but never used. So my equipment right now is: MJ 900, Reno 800, Fluval 305...

This may be a dumb question, but if you have a FO tank, how do you control algae? If it wasn't for my crabs and snails I don't know what I'd do.
