    McCosker's Popeye

    Doing nothing worked. She is all better and the eye looks great. I did lose my Male McCosker though. I looked everywhere inside the tank and outside. A couple people said they've had flashers just disappear never to be seen again.

    McCosker's Popeye

    I noticed tonight that my female McCoskers has one eye that is bulged out. Is there anything I can do. I know a hospital tank setup would help, but there isn't a way to catch it without tearing apart all the rockwork and moving corals around. Only one eye is affected. Is there a medicated food...

    Not Enough Light or Food?

    Any chance you have PO4 and NO3 numbers.

    Fat Fish In Hawaii

    A lot of the fat stores could be preparation for spawning. Most fish I've seen in the wild weren't very fat. Most were well proportion or even a little thin.

    Alternating Flow Benefits

    Right now I have 2 koralia 4's in my 40g. The flow is pretty good, but straight forward. I've been thinking of getting a vortech, but what are the benefits of having the alternating flow that vortechs can produce.

    I've heard of using apstasia for filtration.

    Plum Crazy Acro Problem

    I will check when I wake up, but before I went to work the white areas weren't really there. It was just sliming up a bit. This coral is perplexing me. I think the best option is to do nothing at all. I'll do a water change, but I think its got to make a move one way or another before I'll do...

    Plum Crazy Acro Problem

    I think its to wide spread for the super glue trick. Its not really tissue recession. It could be some small bleaching. I did change my bulb last week, and a couple days ago took off the 2 layers of screen I was using for photo acclimating.

    Plum Crazy Acro Problem

    I had some algae get caught on this acro. There was a couple white patch from that and I was fine with it since I was sure it would recover. Well today I noticed some white areas around some coralites. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. The right half shows what I'm concerned about.

    cold live rock

    Some of it probably survived, but a lot died off. Cure it for a month and you should be good. I believe somewhere around 60F is the lethal point for most tropical marine life.

    Start Chopping

    I got a large pink millie frag last week. I noticed a few days ago it has some tissue recession around the base. I don't know if it happened while I've had it or did it while shipped or where it happened. I've been keeping an eye on it, but I want to be prepared for the worst. At what point do...

    Am I limiting Myself

    I already know the local club, and there isn't much. Most people around here keep softies and zoas. Very few step up to the plate for SPS.

    Mounting Frags

    I'm gonna order some frags from Live Aquaria. I'm gonna get a couple of their frags and I really don't like the plugs they use. Whats my best option for mounting the frags. So far all I've done is find a crevice and stick the plug in or drill a hole in a small rock.

    I'm in the middle of nowhere aka Nebraska.

    Am I limiting Myself

    I've just started SPS. I limited myself to local frags. A few from a local fragger and the other half from ORA. I've had some ok success. No losses, but I wouldn't consider any a great success. Lately there isn't much around here and I'm gonna order online. So far all I've looked at is high end...

    Tissue Loss in Digita and Birdnest

    The digita looks better and polyps are almost covering the white spot. Its not healed, but the coral seems happy. Do birdsnest not like a lot of flow. I had it in the middle of the tank where 2 koralia 4's flow would meet and after cleaning the powerheads it seem pissed and wouldn't extend. I...

    Stop it in its tracks

    I'm pretty sure the area has high flow. I'm also getting it on my overflow box and sides of my koralias.

    Stop it in its tracks

    Despite my best efforts going with a barebottom, extreme flow, and oversized skimmer. I'm starting to get some algae. I want to stop it now before it gets a foothold. Its a 40g with 29g sump. Beckett skimmer rated for up to 300g, but I undersized the pump to be realistic. I have 2 flasher...

    Tissue Loss in Digita and Birdnest

    Looking closer, the white patches seemed to have expanded a bit on the digitata. If they get much bigger should I think about fragging. Its on the which makes it tougher. The frag isn't the big already. Also I checked on the birdsnest when only the actinics were on and the underside of a couple...

    Tissue Loss in Digita and Birdnest

    Should I move it up, or is there much you can do since its on the under side of the branches.
