OK there are a lot of newer people here on TRT. Let's discuss the best upgrade, livestock addition or other purchase that increased your tank's overall health... Let's not discuss the $500 calcium reactors or $1500 skimmers. What about upgrades that can be done to make things work better... And...

Ok, here's what I have left. Keep in mind, the colors aren't great on these (because they're in my tank) :doh:. They will get better. I have others that aren't in good shape at all that do have some living tissue left that are free to a good home. Small Yellow Button Polyp - $5.00 - sold Small...

I bought this frag about a month or so ago and am not sure what it is or its lighting requirements. I have a 46 bow and one 96watt pc actinic and 2 250 watt mh 14k about 14 inches off the surface of the water. I have this frag placed at the top of the tank. I have noticed good polyp extension...

Anyone have any? I'm looking for a small one.

Hey, Quick question for you guys: what do you think the easiest Acropora species is?

I just got a package of frozen coral, what is the best way for them to survive?

I got 2 new frags last week they seem to be doing well hope you like the pix

Hi Everyone!!! Next week my friends are coming from Albany to go fish shopping. I'm very excited about adding something new to the tank but have no idea what to add. I'll have roughly 100 bucks to spend. Ive decided not to add any more fish to the tank so I'm hoping you can give me a few...

Jason, I was browsing threads on RC just now, and I saw a picture of someone's corner tank that has a coral with the exact same growth pattern as that crazy blue sps frag I gave you a while ago! It's in this thread if you scroll down a bit...

Yup, my SPS's are all but gone. I don't have any idea what happened. I started noticing distress about a month ago so I increased WC's to 20% per week. Water Parms never flinched... Lost..My Giant Orange Monty Cap, Purple Rim Cap, Cat's paw, Purple/Green/and Orange Monti Digi's, and the porite...

I had it bagged and ready to take home today and then I asked (by chance) if it was possible that my hermits could get it....and she said YES. SO I left it for another lucky reefer.

Well,.. first you might note that it's almost 4AM and let me tell you it's been one heck of a night. I left for work at about 7:20AM this morning, and according to all my timers power shut off at 11AM. I went straight from work - to work on a car for a coworker, and didn't get home till...

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...

I've been noticing some little dark brown colored specks on my sps (acropora and montipora) for the past few months. At first just a speck here and there, but the numbers increased over time and the corals lost their color. At first, I didn't pay too much attention to it, and I've been really...

So I will be getting some sps frags next next from a marine biologist i work with. He runs a frag business out of his house and has great prices. I am wondering about some things. Why are all SPS listed as DIFFICULT under the care catagory on ever web site i look at. I have a 150w 14000k HQI...

Can anyone ID these for me? Thanks Cary

OK so here is the deal I have various sps that I was given in July of this year that have been growing well and showing great color and pe ect. up until about a week or so ago. I noticed the color going MUCH lighter. I have seen RTN - boy that happens quick, and i am hoping that this is not...

i was just reading an article on mites that infect Acroporas, do these mites infect other SPS corals, what are some common SPS parasites ? http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/june2003/feature.htm

Hi everyone. A couple months ago I moved a long way and when I set up my tank again I decided that I liked the bare bottom look. Also, moving sand is a huge PITA and if I'm moving periodically (which is very possible, part of the reason why I have a nano in the first place) then the easier the...
