Time For An Update. E-mail Me Or Pm Me If You Have A Subject Of Interest That The Articles Do Not Address. We Have Tried To Post And Not Post In The Articles Forum, So For Now Please Do Not Post Comments Or Questions In The Articles Forum, But, Anyone Is Welcome To Write An Article, And Post As On Other Forums, I Will Receive A Message Of The Post And Review It For Content, If Appropriate I Will Release The Post For The Articles Section.

We Are Not Yet Ready To Start The Data Base On Fish And Corals But Hopefully Will In The Near Future, With The Recent Changes To The Server, And Upgrades Those That Need To Address Programming Have Had A Full Plate As Of Late.

Re: Comments/inquiries/participation

Is there an article about Cleaner Wrasse? I just learned the hard way about this fish and the controversy about it. There seems to have been some tv spots on this fish and articles in big magazines about how important it is and that it shouldn't be bought from LFS. Also that it won't live long in a smaller tank because of a lack of parasites to eat.

Corals: First the common generic categorization by type as soft LPS and SPS.
Then: With each coral, by scientific and common names, I think we should address lighting requirements, water movement requirements, whether supplemental feeding is recommended or neccessarey and what is known to be usually successful, whether they require trace element supplementation and of which elements, maybe fragging tips for that individual coral, where they originate from, their hardiness, whether they are aggressuive or not and more if known.
