    sps loosing color

    turning white, you can see faded original coloring under the white color. Is it the tips that turn white or the whole coral? I've read that new growth is sometimes white, but in my case it's the whole coral.

    sps loosing color

    I have a hydrometer, i know not the best. I do skimm, I have a cpr bak-pak. It doesn't pull out a whole lot of skimmate though. I'm assuming this is because I have a large fuge in comparison to my tank size. Yes those are usually tested. no2, no3 and po4 are 0

    sps loosing color

    They remained the same color for months and recently after the move have started losing color. I moved my tank about three months ago, had slight color loss for a couple months. Now corals are totally bleached, besides color that is from polyps. No acans. I have sps, zoas, and a lobo

    30 gal cube, a new adventrue

    I don't really have the option of leaving it hooked up. It will be used in the basement where we have a sink, which is used for other things and I fear if i leave it set up one of my clown roommates will mess it up when removing it to use the sink. I was planning on picking up a 10-15 gallon...

    sps loosing color

    Temp is usually a constant 77.5, although recently it's been a little higher because of the weather. The last week or so it's been between 78-80. Although the loss of color occurred at the 77.5. as for lighting I have 2 24" t5 bulbs (ati aquablue special and blue +). Bulbs are pushing 8...

    sps loosing color

    Recently a few of my SPS have began to loose color, I believe it began when I moved my tank. The odd thing is that one of my SPS is regaining color from it loss many months ago (left my roommate in charge of my tank, we can say she didn't do a good job). Other than color everything else seems...

    30 gal cube, a new adventrue

    Got a couple new additions for the setup, two k3 powerheads and a spectrapure RO/DI. No longer will this kid be making trips to the LFS to fill up my numerous water containers. How should I store the device after I use it? I only plan on making batches of water as I need them. I have read...

    epoxy on live rock

    can this be done on wet rock and then be put back into the tank before it cures? It looks like most of you would drill versus using the epoxy. The rock work is going to be in a 30 cube so nothing to heavy (plan on doing an open look). I just don't want the rock to break apart if I...

    epoxy on live rock

    Has anybody used epoxy to piece together live rock? I've searched the world wide web and haven't found a whole lot besides it can be done. I really want to know how sturdy it will be. I've seen it done with dry rock a bunch of times and it holds up fine, but i'm questioning live rock. Will...

    LED's

    following this one. I just ordered a ai sol blue and had concerns with high levels of PAR and PUR, on the upside this fixture is dimmable. My understanding is that the corals will adjust over a period of time to thrive in the environment that it is presented with.

    10 gallon sps

    Thanks guys. Unfortunately a couple of my sps have lost color, although the polyps are fully extending. Not sure if it's from bleaching or from something else. Anybody have any thoughts?

    20 Gallon Mixed Reef

    Tanks looking good, glad to see the LED's are working out for you. What size bulk heads are you using on for the bean overflow? I currently have the same setup on my 10 gal, but am wanting to do it to my 30 cube but am unsure on size. Also how do you have your return setup?

    The complete DIY Sump workshop!

    This is great, looking forward to pics. Could this same technique be applied to glass? I was leaning towards glass being it's a lot cheaper. What would be the benefits of using acrylic over glass?

    30 gal cube, a new adventrue

    So i'm trying to work out the plumbing for this tank. I've decided to stick with the Bean Animal overflow, I know it works and it's dead silent. As for a return I would like to split it and have one on each side of the tank to produce more random flow. I have some questions about this though...

    30 gal cube, a new adventrue

    The upgrade is in the works, I have had a ten gallon tank since I began my adventures in this money pit of a hobby. After a recent discover of a leak (which is now fixed), I have decided I want a bigger tank. After a couple days of searching the right deal came along and I know have a 30...
