    New corals / what kind of dip?

    Whew, I feel like I dodged a bullet. Thank you. When I saw Lugols in the LFS it said for sick injured coral and I just wanted to be rid of any bad hitchhikers. So just dip all of them in the solution...The purple sea fan, leather cabbage, Blue Zoos and Fox coral are all safe to dip. :mrgreen...

    My Mini Coral Reef

    Red marble, I have never heard of it, it was beautiful. How old was your tank at the time? It sure looked established enough to me. I was told if the tank is too new they don't have enough to eat and starve. My red fromia lasted quite a while in my 75, I gave it away, but everyone that I buy...

    My Mini Coral Reef

    I love starfish, I haven't been able to keep any in the 90g - too new I guess and they starve. That picture was of my 75g. I gave most everything away so I wouldn't lose them trying to move.

    just curious about pulsing xenias

    Hi there, hope you don't mind if I chime in, I have kept Xenia for years. I had some "melt away" once. My lights had lost their strength due to age.
