I just pick up a large piece of Horn Coral (Hydnophora Exesa, best i can figure) Its about 6" tall. I've got it pretty high in my tank (75g standard) under 2 175w MH 10k and 110w Actinic. Anybody had these, any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. All my reference says treat it like any...

I've had this piece of elegance (C.jardinei.) for about 2 weeks. The tentacles/polyps have steadly gotten fatter with a bulbous sorta tip. Its on the sand about 20" under 2 175mh's. Looks killer...just wondering about the changes to the polyps. Is it a good thing or a bad thing. Its got med to...

I plan on adding a 4" dsb to my already setup ('97) 75g tank. I'll be using Prue Argonite sand. I ask a lfs what he would do about the 1/2" or so of cc that I currently have on the bottom. He said to "just push it all to the back of the tank". That seemed to fly in the face of all the info I've...

I currently have 2 175w Ushio 10k halides running on a 75g standard tank. I was kicking around the idea of adding a third 250w halide bulb to the middle of this set up. Would that give the tank a strange look. I haven't seen any pics posted that had a setup like this. Would it make the two ends...

Can anyone ID this snail. Its about 1/4" long. Found off of Texas City Dike (across the bay from Galveston). Billions of them on the rocks, in and out of the water. Just wondering if reef safe. TIA
