I got this coral about a month ago, when I first got him he was all brown with blue tips. Now most of it is a light blue. Yesterday I noticed the tip of it was turning white, It got a little worse today. Any way I can save him. Sorry for the crappy pics but you should get the idea.

Anybody use one of these units? I was thinking about getting one but wanted to see if there were any known problems with it.

Ok this is my first sps, could anybody tell me exactly what kind it is. What color I should expect, or will stay brown? And before you flame me I could not pass this coral up because it was just going to die at the lfs, plus it was only $4.

I was looking at the coralvue website when I notice a link with your name on it. For some reason I could not get anywhere with it, but was wondering if this was you. If it is and you have a website I would sure like to look at it.

I am ready to order new bulbs for a standard PFO 250W ballast. I am now running ushio 10K bulbs. I like the bulb but it is a little yellow for my taste. I was thinking of using XM 10K bulbs because i have read they have a high PAR rating, plus they look a little more "white" to me. golfish...

I have been thinking of turning my 29g tank into a reef tank. (it is a freshwater tank now) I was thinking of using a dsb and liverock and hopefully not using any type of filter or sump. Is this possible or is the tank to small to just use sand and rock. I though I read somewhere that you need a...

I got a clam about a month ago, it seems to be doing fine but what I was wondering was every once in awhile it will (for lack of better words) spit out water and spin around. Then it will stay in that spot for awhile and do this again. Is this normal? Here is a picture of when i got him, the...

Here is the Rock Anemone i took care of last week

Ok after reading, and reading, and reading I have decided to remove all cc from my tank. The only reason I haven’t done this yet is because I am scared I might somehow crash my tank.
