I picked up some corals for the first time in a long time this past weekend. I ordered 10 Ricordia to fill in some of my shaded areas and I picked up Sunset Millepora, Pink Lemonade Acropora, Red Planet Acropora, Rainbow Acan, and a Strawberry Shortcake Acropora, names I'll probably forget in a...

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I always question my choice of aquascaping, but with only 30 gallons to work with I believe the extra filtration they provide is invaluable. I'm running Evergrow IT2040 LEDs with the Blue and White leds on different channels with separate dimmers with a...

I haven't really ever shared pictures of my tank, but I'm finally feeling confident enough to share my little guy. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Originally Posted by IbanEz If your dreaming, why not dream big and go with LED's. Longer life, shimmer, less heat, more energy efficient. Need to be careful with LED and SPS, as I said above you need a way to reflect light back up into the tank or else the underside of sps corals seem to...

Originally Posted by kllyjansen Hey guys! To start with, we know we want a reef tank about 55 gallons or so with tons of live rock and coral so we want to start out correctly with lights, filtration, etc. I'd like to know particulars on lights, filters, sumps, etc. He knows more about this...

I had the same problem, I had very small leaks coming from the bulkheads. I left a towel underneath them and after a day the salt had sealed them up and they haven't leaked since.

I had a friend come out with his own tests to see if possibly it was my tests or user error. Turns out my Salinity was 1.022, I've over the course of the day increased it to 1.025 and the mushroom coral is fully extended and happy. Glad it was a simple fix, I cleaned my refractometer, just guess...

Not sure how these turned out, They also look 50% better now that I have carbon and Ferric Oxide running on the tank. this one fell off and I glued it to a plug and placed it in a different location to see if location is playing a role in this. Escape, my tang kept swiming into the pictures so...

Flower no thats not a silly question, Skimmer runs 24/7 (Except when I put in coral food) I feel like putting in the coral food isn't a problem, I used a turkey baster to target feed it, problem is most of the corals closed up the first day and I didn't feed because there wasn't anything to take...

The mushroom has been placed in Direct light at 5" under the water level, 10" under the water level and on the sandbed, Has been in indirect light at sandbed level, and is currently shaded under another rock right now. Seems to be further into the shade the better the mushrooms look. But they...

Went home last night, did some water changes and retested the water. DKH is at 9 now. I'll test it over the next couple of days to make sure it holds steady.

Yes, but I've also read reef aquariums have an acceptable range of 7-11 so I haven't bothered to fiddle with it.

DKH - 11 The tank is currently 3 months old now. I've tried Xenia, which died within a week Pink Panther Zoas which lasted 2 weeks Watermellon Zoas lasted a week GSP which lasted a couple of weeks Toadstool which lasted a couple of weeks as well All the zoas ended up closing up after the first...

My feet are getting less happy! I can't seem to keep coral, of any kind. Everything I've read says that I should be able to keep them. Tank is 75 Gal + 20Gal sump+ refugium Params, Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, 0 Ph, 8.1-8.2 Nitrate 15-10(I think this may be the problem and I'm currently working to lower...

I haven't posted here in a while, figured I'd give everyone an update how everything is going. Last I posted I had a 55gal tank I had just set up and finished cycling. I had a bet with a friend to get a complete tank set up and running for under $400 dollars. I won my bet and everythnig was...
