    reef safe epoxy

    I'm not sure what your glueing but super glue gel also works for some things. It gets hard pretty much as soon as it touches the water though where epoxies don't.

    Flame angel

    Flames like to pick on live rock and also like algae. Is your live rock in the tank or sump? Give it a varied diet, vitamins should help, and make sure none of the other fish are picking on it. Otherwise frayed fins can mean poor water qaulity.

    How many corals ?

    Tangs grow up and need room to swim. 30 gal isnt very big for them. You can just add corals for what you have room for. There is no exact answer. You want to give corals enough room so they don't touch each other or can sting each other depending on what corals you get. Some hard corals get...

    Rain water?

    Ive heard rainwater has alot of nitrogen. That's what makes the plants grow. I'm not sure about it but I wouldnt use it.

    Long Spine

    I kept one in my 55 for yrs. Now I moved it to my 150 so it had more room. About the worse they do is knock things over. Yeah they might eat some coraline but it grows back. They are good for algae control and I think interesting to watch.

    slime algae/temp?

    Just a guess. Maybe the higher temp. causes poorer water quality due to less oxygen and makes the algae grow more.

    Leather Coral

    A baster works wonders for cleaning corals off. Much better than your fingers. Corals have to adjust to light and current when u get them. Leathers sometimes close up and form a mucus around them and kinda shed their skin. If this happens remove what you can of the skin as it can be toxic to...

    calcium

    Are you sure that was tested right? It's usually around 400-500. What addatives do you use and what source of water? Also what kind of rocks do you have and substrate? Calcium can come from all these sources.

    Pink to the purple to the green.

    Coraline comes in many colors. I have green, purple, cream, and a really nice maroon color. The maroon rock is at least 10 yrs old. You don't see much nice rock like that anymore.

    hard green bubble things

    Sure sounds like valonia, bubble algae to me. I've battled with the stuff before and it is hard to the touch until you pop it. Try to remove them without breaking them as they contain spores and will produce many more. I had all different kinds small large oval and round. I got rid of it by...

    green cocoon

    Sounds like a sea squirt to me but I can't say without seeing it. They can be quite large. I have a green one and an orange one that came in on live rock. The small white one maybe a sponge? Just guessing.

    In-light me!!!

    50/50s are half daylight and half actinic. You could have the same effect with 1 daylight bulb and 1 actinic instead of 2 50/50s. Daylight is a certain color and is not the cheapy bulbs you can buy in the store for shoplights. It should say daylight on it. You can get the 10k and 20k bulbs now...

    Is my Anemone bleached?

    Sounds like a sebae to me. I've read that it's thought they expel there zooxanthellae maybe in shipping and that's why they turn white and usually don't do well after about 6 months. I kept one for about 2 yrs but it was tan in color. If it has parts turning brown that would be a good thing. Tan...

    Tomato Clown Anemone ?

    I don't think there 2 picky. Mine went in my sebae anemone after it hadn't seen an anemone for at least 5 yrs. Sebaes are harder to keep though and not really recommended. I think Tomatos prefer the bubble tip.

    banded pipefish

    They pretty much need same care as the seahorses and are hard to keep. They need alot of food and usually live food.
