Had it for 5 days, curious if this is a sign of bleaching? I am concerned on the right tips, and some what in the middle of the leather turning a very opaque white color, picture does not really show it as much as it seems in person, what do you think?

I was honestly wanting a monti. cap. Not a big fan of brains though, they are colorful, but ridiculously over priced to be so flat like IMO lol.

So far I have 5 Green Chromis 1 PJ Cardinal I know I will be getting : a pair of mated maroon, false percula, OR fire clownfish. 1 PJ Cardinal Looking for suggestions on a reef safe wrasse, and any coral that is mostly photosynthetic. IE doesn't require much if any target feeding. (don't think...

I would 100% agree with flower on needing a regulator, just using an air pump always caused me issues in the end, those bubbles go straight to the top and when the pop you get the salt deposit all over your lights, glass lids, etc. I have noticed that most times you can find them much cheaper...

It is about 9 inches away from a Koraila 4 (1400 gph) I figured that was about "moderate" as most peoples post here say. As far as shedding? I read that they typically release that slime/mucus for about 3 days after introducing it to a new system, which you can somewhat see in the photos around...

Ok thanks, you've been such a big help!

Will do. :D Ignorance makes for mistakes. Also can anyone ID the purple organism in the top left corner? It came on the rock, looks like a sponge, it is soft, and also growing in other places around the polyps / rock, any chance it poses a threat? My first thought was that it was just a sponge...

Got this from SWF.com as a "Leather - Toadstool Aquacultured". Looking for any other info on this, I am guessing a short polyp? Does this look healthy? When I was acclimating it, it was all crunched up in a ball like shape and more shriveled along the base...So it has really opened up. Any...

All of my parameters are perfect. Nitrates, Trites included. Have no inverts, so no crawling done. I know I have sufficient lighting, Possibly too much. I will move the rock a little farther away from the flow and see if that helps at all. Thanks for that tip.

I finally cycled my tank, wanted to start off with something fairly hardy / simple to care for. Ordered the 40+ polyps, which to my surprise I counted well over 100 before I stopped. looks like 2-3 different colors. My question is... In the morning my MH comes on, the polyps are open and look...

This is the light mine gives off....10000 k white / blue and it reaches all corners of the tank, no matter where I place it across the top. Not sure if I am helping at all. I'd say don't buy it unless you need an extra push, Or you want to add to your color spectrum with a blue/pink bulb?

Oh I see, that is really good to know. I need to pick some of those up for my self.

Forgot to mention the fixture is also easily hung. Not very heavy and the attachments are just folded into the top of the fixture it's self. Not sure if your other fixture is hanging or what but that could also help your issue with the dimensions.

I have the 48" on my 90g. I think it's great for fish only tanks, lights up everything. When I was buying my I read a lot of people like using them specifically for planted tanks. But since you already have good lights I do think they would be a nice addition. And this is one fixture I have...

Just an extension? Looks like it is suppose to ground out electricity? Guess I'll ask my dear friend google.

What does it do?

I doubt there is any such thing. IMO stock lists can be very luck dependent.

Hmm I was reading some of the informational threads here after searching for my answer I was unable to determine what's wrong with my system... Just tested water several times....I use the API individual tests. Alkalinity 250 ppm Calcium 800 ppm (ridiculously high?) I just keep reading as long...

This is with my glass lids on, not sure if this will help. These pics make the lights look pretty good, but still think I need an upgrade on account of I kept a couple gorgonia, and some plants that did last long unless there were placed in the top half of the tank. And that was with great flow...

I guess i should mention my dimensions and current light setup. 48"x18"x24" tall. 2.5" sand bed. And I currently have : 48" Hagen Glo HO T5 2x54w 48" Coralife T5 Atinics 2x 10000 K (unsure of wattage, came free with system during a large sale @ LFS) Lighting penetrates a good inch of my sandbed...
