    Bubble Coral Question

    Okay!Greetings from SE PA!--Sorry, Anthony--I'm new here and I have no idea on how to start a new thread. I've had the bubble coral 14 weeks now. I moved it approx. 5 weeks ago and it seemed very happy where I placed it, until this event. There are two hammers,a frogspawn, and a trachyphyllia...

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    Question #3--Is it normal for my tomato clownfish to hide in the shade whenever my metal halide lights are on?

    Bubble Coral Question

    Not to go totally off topic, but has anyone ever had a large bubble coral (plerogyra sinuosa sp?) have its bubbles slowly detach from the skeleton? A string of 10 large bubbles have detached all but completely--they dangle by a thin thread--from the skeleton. In the skeleton appear to be new...

    Mandarin Dragonettes-!?!

    75 gal with about 90 lbs of rock from various sources. Maybe an inch of sand. 30 gal refugium with 5 inches of live sand, some rubble, and tons of chaetomorph and caulerpa.

    Mandarin Dragonettes-!?!

    Pod fusion! Hi Brendon--I'm confused between the 'pods! Help! Is it just copepods that Mandarins want? What about amphipods and lol--some other pod--I forget! Anyway, is there a difference? If I have one type, do I most likely have others? I have tons and tons of little white flea looking...

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    My only real worry with increasing the flow is the flesh on my LPS corals (frogspawn, anchor, hammer, bubble, trachyphyllia). I don't want to irritate or tear them. I have a 900 gph powerhead standing by...

    snail and hermet carb Q

    Try the Mexican red dwarf hermit crabs if you're worried about the snail issue--I believe they are the only ones that are herbivors.

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    I'm still not sure about the flow. I keep fiddling with it and trying to adjust it to keep the critters happy--which leads me to Question #2: My reading tells me that water flow should decrease at night, but I have a Chili coral (Nepthyigorgia) that only opens up at night with high flow. Any...

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    Yipee! The UPS man just brought my order with 3 Sure Grip magnetic power head holders. No more suction cups!!! I hope they work as well as I've heard.

    Maybe doodette--was that a magnification?

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    Hmmm...Not sure Ron. I have some barnacles on a gorgonian, but these are just teeny tiny little specks that pretty much are covering the back glass and powerhead motors. I have tubeworms and fanworms all over the place, and recently I've seen some strange slugs spawning. Also have voluteer...

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    Thanks---and thaks to all for the welcome. The caulerpa does fine. I've removed at least 3 gallon size bags of both it and the chaetomorph in the past 5 months. As far as the sexual collapse goes, they say that the 24 hour lighting scheme prevents that. By the way, I didn't add the caulerpa...

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    Question #1-What are all the tiny hard white dots that seem to grow on the back glass and powerheads?

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    My setup is as follows: 75 gal RR with a 30 gal refugium/sump. My main return is via a GEN-X 4. I'm using mostly chaetomorph(sp?) and some caulerpa in the refugium on a 24 hour light schedule. The refugium also has 5 inches of live sand in it, along with 8 nassarius snails, and a 24 watt...

    Hello! First time here with lots of questions

    Hi. This is my first reef tank and I have a ton of questions about things occuring which I haven't found answers to in any of my books--and I have quite a few! Hopefully, someone will be willing to share some insight and knowledge. Thanks in advance. Brian
