    color fade on frogspawn

    Lighting would be my guess. Any change in lighting will change the color of the corals. What kind of lighting do you have?

    Show your filtration Systems

    I have the same problem and am looking to install a bethroom type vent fan to move the moisture outside. I was talking to someone at the LFS that has that type of fan hooked directly to his tank hood. He has large tanks, like 400g. Lots of evaporation = moisture. I thought it sounded like a good...

    xenia is gone...

    According to the LFS pretty darn sensitive. My 1st try at xenia was last year when my parameters were not very stable. My tank is now established and the parameters are much more stable. I've noticed that if my alk. dkh drops below 8 (suggested norm) the xenia starts to recede. 8 or above, seems...

    xenia is gone...

    No, it took about a week. Smaller and smaller each day. I just got another small piece and it is doing very well. They are sensitive to alkalinity. Good luck.

    Paly colony closing up shop

    My guess is the lighting is the problem. I just replaced my MH and have the same problem. Sunburn!

    How cool! I'm jealous. I have had a pair of clowns and an anenome for 9 months and the clowns have NEVER shown any interest in the anenome:(

    Ro/di waste water

    I've heard that the waste water is actually pretty good compared to what's coming straight out of the tap. Any thoughts?
