I had this happen to my galaxia awhile ago. It turned about to be in too high of flow. Once we moved the powerhead, all the flesh and polyps came back within a month.

That is so sad! Small side note, I have a 12g nano with baby bangaii, a sexy shrimp, a pompom crab, and nassarius snails. The pompom has yet to harm anything. He is awesome.

K- Do you still have your possum wrasse? What is your opinion on them? I was thinking about getting one for my 65g. But everyone tells me they are very shy & that I would either never see it or the other fish would bully it. I have a 12g nano that is currently empty. I can't decide whether to...

New Additions: 2 Blue Reef Chromis These arrived today and will be living in the QT until June. There is no light in the cabinet the QT is housed in right now. I will either be adding an LED strip or the PC currently over my sump. I would rather add the PC & use it as a frag tank sometimes. But...

That is absolutely stunning.

Do you know what caused yours to die? I am assuming mine was due to the shrimp & crabs. But I've read they can be particular to light & flow. Although neither of mine had changed when it closed up. So far only one person has responded locally. It is a different variety than they one I had...

Originally Posted by rara12 Was the little red crab coral safe? I just got one yesterday, that exact same crab and so far he just kinda sits here or there. He sat on some zoos of mine but didnt look like he did anything. I dont have any fish and really dont plan on any. The LFS said it was...

I love my bubble coral. I have a metal hallide light, and after it turns off the bubble deflates a little. It also deflates when I feed it. I also had a emerald crab pick at it's skeleton, and actually did pick pieces off. But other than that, no problems. Every other day I feed it (and the rest...

Well, I won't be posting another picture because like I said earlier, that frag unfortunately died after being aggravated by shrimps & crabs. I was looking for an ID so I can find/buy another. But the blossoms were that same nice blue-purple when they were extended as they were in that picture...

MX, I googled that & I do think that is what it was. Now I just need to find another frag! Thanks!

Hi, I bought a frag of a cool coral awhile ago. I asked the name, but the guy just said to "treat it like xenia." It is definately NOT xenia though, at least not the ugly brown kind, or pompom. Anyway, my sexy shrimp started hosting it, then an electric blue hermit pulled the rock it was...

Hello! I have nothing but time on my hands, so I thought I'd start my own tank diary. This tank has been set up for around 2 months (give or take). Equipment: - 65 gallon glass tank with overflow - 15 gallon DIY acrylic sump/refugium - Coralife PC Light (96 watts, Actintic/10k split) - Coralife...

Thanks for the quick replies! We do have a bubble trap after the input section, but not before the return section. We ran out of room. We will be adding a partial baffle in the middle to break up the water flow through the refugium a little more. Evaporation is also a bit of a problem right...

Hey, I am wondering if I have enough water flow in my tank. I believe I do, but thought I'd check. It is a 65 gallon tank with an overflow, and a 15 gallon sump. The return pump from the sump is a ViaAqua 3300 (1,000gph). I have 2 main powerheads, a Koralia 2 (600gph) & a Koralia 3 (850gph). I...
