As GORGEOUS as it is, it appears to be bleached. I got one back in the day that was yellow. It was beautiful but yeah, no so much. LOL

have a few questions for the community. I havent been on in a while as everything has been wonderful and stable. I got 2 Diamond Gobis today and placed them in a 10 gal QT with no sand. At the LFS, they were acting as the norm but now they seem REALLLLLY quiet in the tank. Not moving around, 1...

Quote: Originally Posted by Posiden Soooo,   Adding light to a stressed coral is not really a good thing. What lights are you running? Wattage? Age of the bulbs? Distance above the water? Size of tank or the dimensions? Maybe do a water change. The reason for doing them is to replace the things...

Hello my fellow fishologists !!!   Havent been on the board for a while as all has been well with the tank.   I have a soft coral that I inherited when I got the tank 3 years ago. Its always been healthy looking and very green and it would open up big and pretty.   Welllllllll, I dont know what...

Um.......hullo ???

I am thinking about 2 URI/ATI 48" Super Actinic V-HO T5 54 watts bulbs and 2 URI/ATI 48" Actinic White V-HO T5 54 watts bulbs in my 80 gal full reef tank. (live rock, soft coral, fish). Anyone got any thoughts or opinions ?? My goal is to balance good looks with growth. If there is a...

How long have you had it ?? if its relatively new, it will cruise around to find a spot. Moving heads, changing water flow wont do anything to keep him in one spot. They do what they do, when they want to do it.

Hello all, I use amquel + and NovAqua and prime. I have had GREAT results on managing. I had come cyano issues and I used a buffer and it worked WONDERS. Can anyone chime in on a suggested order of use and the time NOT to use in between ?? Thank you in advance.

I had the same issues. Something that i tried and it worked REALLY WELL. I used amquel and novaqua +, prime and also a buffer. It was AMAZING how it all cleared up. The REAL PAIN is getting red of the algae 1st. I took a paint brush, attached it to a stick and just brushed it all off. Then did a...

Started a carbon treatment yesterday afternoon and THIS started happening to my yellow tang. If you look on the side, it is like its scales are peeling away. I thought I saw a little dot earlier today and NOW.......ITS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER. per Beths instructions. here are the details. <...

Originally Posted by crimzy Looks like a fungal infection to me. There are some meds on the market that can be used for this. However, aside from this, that tank looks deathly skinny to me. Is it eating? You should post your tank size, water parameters, what type of tank (reef or FOWLR)...
