Does anyone have much experience with Birdsnest? I ask because some algae attached itself to the birdsnest. I assumed modifying my light schedule would kill it off, however it has fully coated the birdsnest now. Is it game over for that coral? Or will at some point the algae go away and the...

Now after trying to feed it again (3rd day in a row) it looks like it's releasing its waste. But at least looks a bit more plumpy which gives me some hope... yeah?

So, I had a busy few weeks and hasn't had time to deal with my tank. This includes feeding the coral. Anyone have any thoughts about my open brain? It keeps rejecting all food I give it. Does it look like it's starving or am I over reacting?

Yesterday my corals arrived! I placed them in the tank and put epoxy on a few of them so they'll stay put. I'm concerned the Tongue coral doesn't look as it should though. Here are the pictures, let me know if anything looks "off".

Very cool picture dude! Seeing those pictures makes me all geeked thinking that's going to be in my tank!

So I finally got to put in an order for some more corals! I currently have Favia coral, Green Birdsnest, and Lunar Zoa's spread across my tank. I placed an order and will be getting Tuesday the following items: Green Tongue Coral Hammer Coral Candy Cane Coral Mushroom Coral Brain Coral -...

Ah ha. Bang Guy I think you may have nailed it. I see you've had this mention in the past as well. Pretty cool though, thank you for helping identify!

Hellooooo everybody! So I finally get to put time back into my tank. Just got married two weeks ago so for the last month/two months I've had very little time to put towards the tank. Came back from the honeymoon to see at least two inches of water evaporated in my tank, levels crazy off, and...

Sorry, meant to say shouldn't be completely clear if it's the natural way. And no worries about my little freak out. You had me alarmed but better to spread some knowledge versus keeping it to yourself. I've shifted the powerheads this morning and almost immediately anything on the bed and...

It's a vibex. Is that the bad one or the good one? I'll look at shifting the power heads and get it in a circular motion. It seems like some sections of the tank have clear spots too though. Anyway I'll adjust it around a bit and see if it looks any better. I'll also keep that in mind that...

Looks very nice!

Bang Guy, I'm not sure if these are going to be all that helpful. This was all I could get right now. So you're saying getting 20 of those would be overkill. Duly Noted. I've been doing all I can to keep good water flow. I have either a 55 or a 60 gallon hex tank and from what I've been...

Thank you for that information -- both of you. But Bang Guy, if people shouldn't add sifters then how is it that they keep their sand bed so clean? Also, I just added to an existing order I have for 20 nassirus snails and five cleaner clams, will that cause any problems? I also have a...

Does anyone have any recommendations for keeping a clean sand bed? I need to purchase a few more nassirus snails and some clearer clams but I need something that will really sift the sand. My sand bed is starting to get fairly dirty from a bunch of waste. It's starting to build some short...

Boooo . Well I'll see how it looks over the next few weeks. I've been meaning to make a run out to my LFS for the Alk reading but still haven't had the time. Still waiting for my Calcium to level out as well. Woopsies!

So I've been monitoring throughout the week and started to notice that the stalks are starting to split all over. So that is great news. However, does anyone know if the zoa I have is truly a Lunar Zoa? I bought it off of someone from Craigslist and unfortunately the pictures they had on...

Heh... so my Calcium is apparently in the mid 500's. eeek. I'll stop dosing the tank with the reef builder for a while then. As for my Alk, apparently I don't have the test kit for that so I'll have to run out and buy one this weekend. In the meantime, I did notice that a head just popped...

Hmmm, I'll keep it in mind. I'll check my levels again and get back to you. Thanks sir!
