    Losing coral/color

    I have about 3 different types of SPS in my tank along with a few different colonies of frogspawn and a torch coral and also some other misc. things like a clam, and a few softies. So what has been going on is I have a 250W MH over my 50 gal. tank. The 20k bulb I had in there was about a year...

    Glass cleaner?

    The windex on a towel or rag does work, But I have found a way that works without any glass cleaner. Take a damp towel or rag (100% cotton) I say this because my tank is acrylic, and wash off all the salt spots and whatever else might be on the outside of the tank. Now you will be left with a...

    Another anemone in the powerhead... still alive

    Good news, the anemone seems like its pulling itself back together, I am not so sure how long until he is healthy again, i'd guess a while, I did a 5 gallon water change to get the water quality as high as i can during this critical period. Thanks rlablan fer the idea, i'll give it a try and...

    Another anemone in the powerhead... still alive

    thanks for the reply, He is holding onto the rock and moves a little bit so I don't want to flush him yet, but I don't want to wake up in the morning to find him stuck to the powerhead again from floating around

    Looking for some advice...

    I have a 50 Gallon "Show" tank, 30 wide X 18 long X 18 deep. I currently have a 24in. NOVA VHO (4 bulb, 2 actinic, 2 10K). I am buying a coralife 250W pendant MH for the tank.

    From the ocean to my tank...

    Thanks for the ideas, I think i might boil, wash/scrub and then let it dry out for a while, that sound like a pretty safe way to go about it

    From the ocean to my tank...

    My mom went on vacation and she brought me back as a gift, a rock from the shore for my tank. The rock looks close to the other rocks in my tank so it would fit nicely. But the rock was under water on the shore so i'm guessing, living in the rock there are thousands if not millions of living...
