    zooanthelle injection?

    Many of the colorful, non brown pigments in a coral are produced by the coral and not the Zoox. It sounds like when you first got the coral it was on the verge of death. When corals are unhealthy pigmentation is one of the first things to go. I think that if you give the coral time in a tank...

    Dogface Puffer

    Did you use tap water, or RO water, or water from some other source. My first reaction is to guess that you used tapwater and that it was not properly declorinated. Also if the water is too warm or more likely to cold it can stress animals out. Did the salt have enough time to mix before you...

    Coral temperatures

    Kahuna Light = Kahuna Heat That is really interesting because at Kahuna Corals I noticed a huge discrepency between the health of corals and the intensity of light. The tanks are shallow, the corals are on racks, and the reflectors are diamond lumenarcs. The corals that were lit by 400W...
