    I have a brand new (but it's been opened), complete Red Sea Max 250C hood, that I want to sell, but I'm not sure how much to charge for it. Is $500.00 too much? I've googled how much they sell for, but no one sells just the hood that I know of. Thanks

    Hello! I'm in need of some assistance here.. I'm fairly new to marine tanks, but am learning quickly.

    I recently purchased a yellow cup coral. The polyps are in nice shape but on the back (the smooth part), there are 2 black sections. They are black crevices (so not topical). 1. Is that a disease or a sting from anemones or ?? 2. What do I need to do about it? Thanks!
