    Hi all, About 6 months ago I added 4 acroporas from the LFS. 3 manage to polyp up and one did not. I tried different spots in the tank but nothing seemed to work. Finally, I gave up and placed it at the bottom of the rock work on the sand bed and forgot about it. Fast forward to today and I...

    Much like another thread I've got running, I'm going to snap a picture of this stony coral and update it every two weeks. I was looking for an acropora species, and this is the easiest for photographing, so I thought it would be a good choice. This first picture is from six weeks ago (the day I...

    1.) Buy the Hood from LRN (done) 2.) Buy skilter 400 ( other reasons for this.. relax guys)**1 3.) Buy 50# of Marco Rock - epoxy the rocks with plenty of swim throughs, places for coral and easy to clean around 4.) Fill the tank and fire it off.. let it cycle. 5) begin the build on...

    I wasn't able to get a picture of it. It was too small for my camera to focus on. I drew it to the best of my ability with "Paint". The shape of it is dead on. There are no legs. It kind of moves around the glass in a similar way as a snail. Any suggestions as to what this might be. I'm...

    I got me a cute little clown goby.... He's supposed to be reef safe... Only problem is he keeps resting on one of my corals! He's picked a coral and hangs on it and lays underneath it... I'm worried it will ruin the coral and am asking if this will indeed be the case... See pix below... I moved...

    It appears on the tips of a couple of my acropora corals and looks like a light brown bacterial slime. I have tried redirecting the flow of my pumps and power heads, fearing I was damaging the tissue of one of my corals, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The other acropora has only...
