    updated sps photos

    Beautiful corals. Is it just me or are the corals in some tanks more colorful then in the wild?. I hardly ever see colorful corals on the site that you posted for the selago (spelling?). Albert

    some sps remain brown

    You would think adding another 175 in the middle would give more intensity all the way around. Your softies should be able to handle that, you think?. Albert

    How to get random flow

    Thanks for the replies. I have the return split into 2. One is from a refugium above the tank that would not be possible to put into a ss. The other is from the sump but not too much comming out of that one. I do have an old SS type of device that I may get out of the garage and use it for...

    How to get random flow

    Hello, I have an 80 gallon sps tank. Rockwork is pretty much flat on pvc so it's not a rock wall that climbs in the back. I presently have a modified nano on one end at 45 degree and a seio 1500 on the other end 45 degree (both face the front glass). I'm having a hard time not getting laminar...

    Polyp extension

    Thanks again everyone. So far I've put a diffuser on the lights (windowscreen). I too think it is the angel and want to go after it. So far I've had no success getting him to go in the trap. It's one of those little plastic containers with a lid on it. I've put a piece of fish but he does'nt...

    Polyp extension

    I went from 175's a few years ago to 400's. I've been thinking about stepping down to 250's (maybe next bulb changeout). I really did'nt think I needed to acclimate the corals to the new light being that I was going to a bulb with less par (20k vs 15k). I'll put a few layers of the window...

    The acclimation from 400 15k xm to 400 20xm was to lower the photoperiod from 8 hours to 5 that it is currently on. PE was not good before the switch. It really seems that the time corralation was when adding the bicolor. The tank is only 23" deep (standard 80 gallon 48x18x23). I think...

    Polyp extension

    Hello, my sps corals have little pe when lights are on. They are extended at night though. I have'nt checked for red bugs but if I did have them would the pe be out at night?. Another reason may be that I added a bicolor angel a few months ago. It is about this time that pe started to reduce so...
