So yesterday I lost a mini colony of Paletta Prostrata, a mini colony of Garf Bonsai, a frag of Copp's Blue Tenuis and a frag of a purple lokani. WTF is going on? My tank smelled like dead SPS and so did my whole fish room. I was able to smell it before I hit the doorway. I have absolutely no...

Well, I've officially committed to the 125g upgrade. I have the tank and just ordered the lighting today. Here's a quick pic of the dirty tank. This build will take a little while to complete because I'm doing an in-wall and need to build the room for it and run electricity. Progress pics...

So recently there has been an influx of maxi mini in the area and at local LFS's. I know nothing about them. I have read some reports that they have a pretty serious sting and will kill and eat almost any fish they can fit...including clowns. Anyone have info on them? They look so neat and I...

Re: March POTM - Pinks or Reds! Let's have a try at this.

Anyone know some good places for cheap dry rock? I'd like to buy the dry rock for my upcoming 125g build. I don't want to use live because I'm sick of hitchhikers and unwated junk.

I've got thousands of them on about 90% of my acros. What do I do? I can't get a pic. Those things are super tiny. I got a magnifying glass to see them. They almost look like little red spiders.

Recently over the past 2-3 weeks the colors on most of my SPS are looking a little dull. I've looked at pics I've taken over the past month and they definitely confim the color change. I tested all my levels yesterday at home and a 2nd time at my friends store and got nearly the same...

Re: December POTM Entries

What would cause my red, pink and purple coralline to start turning bright orange in some spots? Is it dying or could something like asterina stars be eating it?

I'm looking for more simple ways to dose my tank. I currently dose my tank every morning with B-Ionic Alk and Calc. It's been working just fine, but its a PITA and I sometimes forget to do it. I think I may have actually dosed twice yesterday in fear of not dosing at all. Anyway, I've ruled...

I'll be getting a 125g right after Thanksgiving from a friend of mine. A great deal too...only $85. Anyway, I'd like to start getting things together so I can get the tank up and running after the New Year. I'm thinking of making the switch from solely T5's to a combo of MH and T5's...

I was over my parents house on Sunday and was checking out my brother's tank. He asked me what these weird looking things were covering his LR. At first I thought it was all red coralline that was starting to overlap and plate out. Then I saw everything moving with the current and saw there...

I was at the LFS the other day and saw these 3 fish in one of their DT. I thought they were some type of eel until the owner told me they were Engineer Gobies. They sure looked cool! Any idea on how they are in a reef tank, what they eat, how they are to care for, etc? They were about 10" long.

This is to all you Purple Hornet owners. What do they like? Are they a tempermental zoanthid? My experience with the Red Hornets have been really good and they're easy to care for. Thanks for your help.

The pic of the coral in the back right. It's a pink pocillopora damicornis. It got stung when a snail knocked over the paletta prostrata onto it. The paletta is perfectly fine, but the poci got a good sting. Do you think I should let it go and regrow on its own or cut that tip off? It's been...

The past few days I have been seeing little air bubble stuck on lots of the corals, magfloat and some LR. It's not coming from the return pump because there are none floating around the tank. They're just stuck on everything. Any idea what would cause this? It's also not bubbles stuck in...

I got a 1 polyp Rasta frag at the frag swap on Oct 2nd. I checked it out tonight and it sprouted 2 little babies. I thought they were slow growers?

As many of you already know I'm looking to add a new fish. I seem to be getting an infestation of aiptasia nems. It started off when I found 2 about the size of a dime last week. I bought some AiptasiaRx and killed them. I was just looking at the tank with the red light and I can see...

Since I've lost a few fish recently I'd like to add either 1 nice one that will get larger or a few different small fish. What do everyone think?

I noticed over the past few days that my six-line and watchman goby were missing. Well today I was looking behind the tank and found them on the floor... >:( I've had the six-line for 1 year and 2 months and the watchman for almost a year. They never tried to jump before. What would...
