I don't see any other corals in your list, but if you add some be sure to put them out of reach of the torch. Give it plenty of room. My torch is one of my favorites but I have seen what it can do to a montipora frag.

As you can guess from my user name, my name is Don. I will turn 29 in June. Married for 3 1/2 years. I operate/maintain automated machines or you can call me a factory worker. I have had a saltwater tank for close to 10 years and decided to try a reef about 1 1/2 years ago. I have had...

I never said that the was anything wrong with the question or that it should not be posted here. I think it is a very good question and being on this board i'm sure it will answer the same question for alot of people. I was just making the point that I thought you read a little too much into...

If the pic from karlas is what you have then richard is right. Just my 2 cent here. I think with all of the insults on these boards now I think some are a little too sensative and think they are being insulted when sometimes they are not. I saw nothing wrong with what richard's post. I also...

I don't have either, but I do have the sump version of the remora (Urchin). I think it's a great skimmer easy to set up, quiet and low maintenance. If you do buy the remora, you can get it with a rio or for a few dollars more you can get a maxi-jet. Spend a little extra and get maxi-jet. I...

May be boring for a few months, but that is better than being frustrated. Good luck and hang in there. I've had my share of fish problems.

The original piece of xenia I bought was on the sand in the store so I had to attach it myself. I did use superglue. I did not hold very well(just one small area), but I did hold long enough for it to attach to the rock. I don't recommend super glue because I don't know that it would work all...

This does not help you any, but may help someone else out there. I can say I did experience the skimmer problem after using stress coat. My wife decided to top off my tank one morning(using stress coat) before I got home from the night shift, and by the time I got home the skimmer had pulled...

How about Jack and Diane or since you're from Orlando maybe Mickey and Minnie. I had a pair of Cinnamon Clowns named Will and Grace. Will disappeared several months ago but Grace is happy and healthy.

This may not be a lighting issue. I have a few different types of button polyp. Some require less light than others. I had some that turned almost white, not long after putting them in the tank and they spread down away from the light. The colors are fine in the more shaded area. On the...

I will have to agree with Beth on this one. UV or not, stop adding fish for a while. If it is a parasite problem starve them. This hobby can be extremely expensive if you are buying fish every few weeks. Another thing, if you are getting all of these fish from the same store, try a different...

I have had no problems with my powersweep, but I have read many post/replies from people saying they have. The Rio Motion looks interesting and might work well if it is not attached to a Rio pump. I have 3 Rios and have had problems with all of them, the one driving my skimmer stops quite...

No toxins that I am aware of. I hope not because my tank is full of the stuff. I have used super glue gel on xenia, montipora, acropora, pocillopora, seriatopora, star polyps and who know what else. I have never had a colt, but I would suspect that it would be like glueing xenia. Just dab...

About a week ago I took three small cuttings (brown and 2 shades of green star polyps) and superglued them to other rocks and two of them opened in about a day or two and the other still has not opened. The only other things I have fragged are a gorgonian that opened up within a day and...

I am not familiar with the hagen kit but I have a seatest kit that gave me readings close to what you are getting. I am now using the Red Sea kit and I am getting reasonalble results. The seatest kit was on clearence at a lfs so it might have been sitting around for a long time and too old to...

I have 2 purples that I bought from a guy who was going back to freshwater. He had 3 but I did not buy the third because it always hid from the pair. So I suggest 1 or 2 if you can find a pair already together. They get along fine with my other fish(yellow tang, yellow tail damsel, cinnamon...

If you don't want a hang-on skimmer(Remora Pro), Aqua C also makes the Urchin Pro. I use the urchin in my sump and it is great. According to the Aqua C web sight you can now get a Mag Drive pump instead of the rio. Quiet, low maintenance and less expensive than alot of skimmers.

I have ran a hagen for several years with no problems and in January I bought a powersweep and have had no problems with it so far. The powersweep comes with a prefilter for a reason and we all know that it's not because it looks pretty. I have used the filter from the start because common...

I will not get into the lighting type debate. I think vho's, pc's and Mh will work. I am currently running 4x95 vho's on my 55 gallon, and yes I know I can put 48 inch bulbs on this tank but I moved these from a 38 gal and I will get the longer bulbs next time I order. I am keeping a deresa...

I wish I could help. I had a similiar experience. I had one for about 10 months and it ate about every food I put in the tank. It was fat, nice colors and very active. In December I woke up to find my tank had a leak, so everything got transferred to a larger tank. Shortly after this time...
