Wow your tank looks great! I have a 12 gallon and I am having trouble keeping fish alive... I lost a clown and a few damsels...

The only thing that is high is my alkalinity and it is through the roof... I did a 50% water change the other day but it's still high... what could it be? How do I get it down?
Just keep up on the water changes and check you new salt mix for high alk.

What is the orange branching coral in your tank? It looks like it could be a type of gorgonian but I am not sure.. I love it though and I have a spot for somthing like that in my tank. VERY NICE...!!!
If your talking about the one in the front corner, i never had a exact name on it til the other day and i love it as well, the polyps on it get so blue during the day, and get all white at night.
Its a blue bali gorgonian.

REALLY!! Ohhh I am gonna have to look that one up... Awesome !!
I was trying to ID it off of your description and it was very difficult. I googled the name you gave and I got nothing. LOL... any way for FYI I did some investigating and the common name is Corky Sea Finger, indeed a gorgonian species, AKA Briareum asbestinum, and they come in Brown, Gray, Green, Orange, Purple... you have one of the nicer colors... I cant find them anywhere for sale.

AMAZING biocube! This almost beats kats

Ummmm.... thanks, Matt, (my son)
but this one certainly beats mine!~

and I believe that you and PD are talking about 2 different things...
PD is talking about the orange tree sponge looking coral a little above the blue bali seafan/gorgonian/blueberry gorgonian, midway up on the right. The one with 3 branch looking things on it. Correct me if I'm wrong, PD...

Be careful,
DKFLOYD is a bad risk, So be careful selling to her, she lost me money in a sale on this site, i notified a mod, on this site, BuT, they cant do anything , SO just be WARNED dkfloyd, is a risk!
thanks for listening DENNIS
LIAR. Ask him why his membership was almost banned from this site!!
I also just purchased stuff from two other members on here with no problems at all, one being Don Lino.
I am not going to start this up again and go through this harassment by Dennis, but there are two sides.
Again, very beautiful tank.
