    What am I skimming from my 75 gal SPS dominated tank. I have a pair of clowns that eat pods from the tank. I feed infrequently (~2 weeks). LPS, Rose, Clowns, Shrimp. Do I need to skim? Or skim infrequently?

    Growth Rates

    My Caps and Digi's are definately the fastest of the sps... I'd say 4-8 times bigger per year... But I don't have any that are quite that old. If I move or damage them, growth slows considerably. My ORA style tort seems to grow at good rate also, but tha CA style tort is slow. My...

    What Has Happened?

    The skimmer is back to normal now, but yesterday it filled 4 skimmer cups rapidly. The water was slightly white (cloudy) when I first discovered the skimmer bubbling over the top like a bubble bath - filling the top of my sump with foam. The only wierd things I could pick up on were not that...

    What Has Happened?

    This morning I saw my 75 gal. mostly sps w/clams tank, and everything was normal. This evening, the skimmer is foaming like crazy. The cup fills up in an hour. The skimmer has been set the same for months. I don't know what has happened. Any Ideas?

    Table Recession

    Looks like shade poisoning... Has the coral been there long? Has the part in shade for long? I have some corals that do this when base is shaded, and others that can power past the shade ? On shared energy ?

    Curse that emerald crab!!

    You should add shrimp to your list of evil reef creatures... My coral banded shrimp tears arms from my tube anemones(sp) chews them and spits them out - for fun! Not to mention his aggression towards all creatures (killed and ate one of my pair of cleaner shrimp while it was...

    Acropora

    I Bet Your Lighting Is The Problem Montipora can take anything(they won't be bright under low light) Acropora need tons of light to thrive ***** Many of mine would not color up or would fade 8'' under a 175 halide. When I went to 2 250's and 120 wts of actinic my 75 gallon kicked A$$%#$@ Yea'

    lighting for new tank

    I was running 175 Halides on my 75gal. It was great for everything but the SPS. Many would not color up until I switched to 250's Maybe go with VHO's for a year - Then Upgrade to 250's with actinic VHO's Stick with 10k bulbs they look the best overall.

    Heat = Total Bleaching or RTN?
