    I'm going to be getting rid of my pink tail trigger, he is about 6-7 inches long and very think bodied. Bright pink tail, very active. I was just wondering what a fair price for him would be. I've seen them a little smaller in lfs for 79.99 ... any input, Thanks.

    how big of a refugium

    with the lights on top of the 38 .. there isn't really that much room to go with a taller tank, unless i get different lighting ... what lighting would be sufficient for caulerpa, that would be smaller so i could get a taller tank??

    coral issues ....

    same sale mix ... and i let it sit over 24 hours ... do you think it could have been a slight difference in the salinity ... but wouldn't a chemical change effect the fish or the inverts?

    coral issues ....

    nothing changed besides the water, the lighting could possibly need to be replaced and nothing was on my hands like soap ... it was just odd they were closed up right after the water change .. and yes they are a before and after of the same mushrooms.

    coral issues ....

    I did a water change the other day and since then, my mushrooms continue to look as if there is no light on, all shriveled up and small. They were large and thriving before the water change, what could have happened that is causing them to not look so well???
