That coral that someone was asking about earlier, that you were told was a Favia I believe is an Acanthastrea pretty sure though.

Ok so Im doing the sump version with the screen vertical, SantaMonica do you know if there are reducers that would work with standard wet/dry hoses? My wet/dry hose is about 1" thick. Im sure there are but I was at the hardware store and couldnt find any.

It might, usually loss of color in anemones is due to loss of zooxanthellae. Your lighting should not be a problem but you would have to make sure it is eating as well. You should also look into whether or not adding iodine will help. Several books I have read state its essential for it, but I...

ok update, I moved the clowns to secure tank and they are being babysitted as of the moment. I did a 50% WC, plus changed out the carbon in the sump, and added a polyfilter. As of the moment, my guesses for the tank is that there was some sort of chemical that somehow managed to get into the...
