    HELP!! New Monti.sp frag not looking so good

    Cool. Thanks big t, I know there are many colour combo's didn't know there were that many! Living here in SA, we don't have any of the stock and selection you guys have:( Although, the plan is within the next 5 years to be living in San Fransisco, if not sooner.

    HELP!! New Monti.sp frag not looking so good

    Just an update, my monti is no more:( it is now just a white odd shaped skeloton in my tank... I think it was too stressed or something was very wrong with it. Oh well. On the bright side of things my LFS got an awesome shipments of SPS's on the weekend, going to go pick up my blue tipped acro...

    How far can an external pump suck from?

    Sounds like you're setting up a closed loop. Much better than loads of powerheads inside your tank.

    closed loop help

    Hi Claw, with regards to the wavemaker in the link posted, I have one on my 20g and it works really well. Apparently the SCWD units aren't too expensive for you guys(about $40), I'd give it a bash. I'm going to be using two on my CLS on my 'big' 65g tank in the new year.

    HELP!! New Monti.sp frag not looking so good

    Hey Claw, Durban is about 9 hours or so north of J-Bay, basically Durban is the other 'Surf City' of South Africa... J-Bay is awesome, the surf spot Supertubes is just amazing (when there is swell). Thanks for the kind words Nikki, will be posting images as often as possible.

    HELP!! New Monti.sp frag not looking so good

    Thanks Claw, I won't give up, these corals cost a fortune! Just been told about a guy in another city here in South Africa, that has some awesome acros and monti's, going to try get some frags from him in the new year.

    HELP!! New Monti.sp frag not looking so good

    Thanks for the replies everybody. Since yesterday evening, my little monti frag has lost almost 60% of it's flesh:( I will check it tonight for those nudi's. I did break off the 'bleached' parts, but the coral is so oddly shaped that I couldn't break off a proper frag:( I'm going to hold thumbs...

    HELP!! New Monti.sp frag not looking so good

    Hi Everybody, I recently acquired a new Montipora frag, I think it is foliso, attached is an image of the coral in question. This image was taken the day after I put it into the tank. Since placing the coral in my tank, it has slowly started bleaching, not from the top but the bottom...

    So... let's see a full tank image. I'm very interested in this Zeo method, however it will cost a small fortune for us South African reefers.

    Show me your full tank shots

    Sorry for this late reply. The pictures of my nano is from when I only had 100watts of NO flourscents over it (5 x 20w tubes). This has since changed. I'm now running 80w NO flourscents (3x blue, 1 x actinic) plus 150w double ended MH. I only got a 4200K bulb though... just waiting for Santa to...

    Acropora sp. Bleaching event

    Hi Anthony, I had 4-5 colonies of acropora that bleached in my tank. These corals are often seen inhabiting tidepools along the coast here where I live. From all the research I've done, it seems as if the high water temperatures affected my corals. It seemed as if the corals were affected by...

    White threads in brown mushrooms

    I just found this thread, and I too had some mushrooms do this in my tank (white threads being expelled). The species in questions, as closely as I could ID them was Rhodactis indosinensis. The rock I bought was completely covered in these mushrooms, it took about a week for them to all...
