Hey guys, i recently acquired some different corals and had some questions about how to feed them. I have a 60 gallon tank. An ASM G1x skimmer. I have in my tank a decent sized bubble coral, some mushrooms, polyps, a montipora, a huge flower pot, and a few soft corals that i need to i.d. I also...

Hey guys, i have a 60 gal tank with a Coralife 65 gallon skimmer right now. My pump is making strange loud sounds right now. It sounds like the pump is running dry but its fully submerged. The pump is a rio 1100 that came with the PS. It still is making bubbles but nothing close to the top of...

Just to throw in a kicker, I've had my 1.5 inch royal gramma and my 3 inch purple fire goby jump out of my tank with half glass half egg crate. I was able to catch them in time but nothing is safe!!

News Update: My anthias is still alive and swimming around a little more. I have seen it for a few minutes then it goes back into hiding. Still no sign of eating but i did see it moving around a lot during feeding time under the big cave i have. I will keep you all updated, Thanks again. P.S...

I am aware that they do better in packs but i did not want to purchase the other 3 the lfs had as they were still in bags from the new shipment. Plus i didn't want to chance all 4 in my 135. I will try the food mentioned and see what happens. They are beautiful fish and add a lot of color to my...

The anthias is about 4 inches, both clowns show zero aggression as far as i know and the dottyback sleeps in the same cave as the anthias does. I tried my luck with one many months ago and it lasted weeks if that. I don't want to lose this one. Do they eat off of the rocks?

Hey guys, i picked up a purple queen anthias from my lfs 2 weeks ago and am concerned about it. I have only seen it out maybe 3 times since being introduced into my 60 gal. I have yet to see it eat anything and it just hides in my rock all day. Is any of this normal?? I feed pellets, flakes...

I appreciate the responses, my other parameters were/are fine. It was just the salt level after all. Its back down to normal again and the mushrooms are doing great. They are huge and i'm starting to see new ones form. Thanks!

This may be crazy and i know its shunned most of the time but how about Melafix? Used it as a last resort and it worked like a charm.

Hey guys, my lfs had a few mushroom corals on sale (maybe 10-15) on each piece of rock that i picked up. I got a few thinking that i would give them a try in my 60 gal. I noticed that in about the week that Ive had them they haven't opened up as much as at the lfs and i have come down to 2...

So i woke up this morning just as my lights turned on and i saw this guy crawling on a new piece of rock i bought. He was moving and i didn't have enough time to get my camera so this pic is off of my phone. It was about the size of a penny maybe, completely flat and was moving, it was earthy...

Has anyone else had any luck with the color enhancing pellets? I'll give that a try and see what i get out of it. He is about 5 inches long. I have a bad quality pic of him, ill have to get some better shots tomorrow. This is a few days out of qt, in this pic he looks stressed from the smaller...

I bought my emperor angel maybe 6 months ago in his second set of color changes (almost an adult) and he seems to not want to change. Does it normally take this long to change? The lfs said that he would have about 3 more months till full adult coloration but I've yet to see a difference. He is...

My female maroon clown fish will move rocks the size of tennis balls no joke. My sand bed is a disaster, she loves to push sand away from her cave and mess with anything that's in her way. Its super annoying but shes just clowning away. Thank god the male isn't strong enough to push things or i...

Hey thanks for the response, i have a few quick questions as i think that's the way im going to go with it. How much higher should the fuge be from the sump? And also what size hole should be drilled for the bulkhead?

The wattage is 2x65 watts with Actinic 03/10000K (50/50) compact fluorescent lamps. I have an angel so i need to be careful with coral. but i want to try housing something.

I have one maybe a little bigger then an inch with 2 very large cleaner shrimp and it leaves them alone. But he does chase my fire goby and large chromis around. You should be fine.

so I'm pretty much S.O.L. as far as making the fixture that i have work? I don't plan on buying another if this one wont work, i will have to look into something different for my 100 build then and my custom 60 gallon will be FOWLR forever.

Hey guys i have a coralife 48 inch single strip light fixture right now that i purchased a while back with little intent to house corals but i have always wanted to in the back of my head try a few out. Will this light be sufficient and if its limited to what i can have what type of coral could...

Hey guys i am in the process of trying to get a fuge set up outside of my tank and plumb it into my sump. I dont have enough room with my skimmer heater carbon and return pump for an internal fuge and HOB is out of the question. 1.Will something like a Rio mini sun led clip fixture be sufficient...
