I prefer Seachem. I seem to maintain a higher calcium level. Just my two cents.

Greebs, do you add iodine supplements to your water. I was having the same problem and started to add iodine and they started to open. this is what helped me. Check this web site out www.garf.org these tanks are simply the most stricking ive seen and are world renowned. Her method is the method...

Buzz, I went to jeff's and might not ever go anywhere else. He had a special on maxima clams and i picked up two of them for 17.00 a piece as well as some mushrooms. awsome place for corals and equipment. His 300 gallon tank is something too.

I have been to Tong's and buy most of my stuff at his store. The owner (Tong) knows his stuff. His reef display aquariums are to die for. Also another store that I goto is called Strictly Fish. One store is located in the L.A area and the other in O.C . I can give the address to you as well if...

your picture of the Anenome looks like an Heteractis ( ritteri ). If this is in fact a Heteractis, keep an eye on you pH level as they react poorly to rapid pH changes. Happy reefing

Clams are maybe the best kept secret in the hobby. If you can, get your hands on a Tridacnid clam as they are well suited for brilliantly lit tanks. Clams DO NOT need to be fed and will remove nutrients such as ammonium and nitrate ions from the water as a source of food. Clams are very hardy...
