My colt coral dropped an arm the other night, and I was wondering what the best way to get it to stick to a existing rock in the tank. I was thinking of using an elastic band, but wanted to get some opinions first. I have epoxy, but it seems too tricky to get it to stick and I don't want to...

My lfs guy is cool and is gonna hook me up with a colt coral because my kenya died which was my favorite. What's your opinion on the 2.. I dont know whats so great about the colt corals. they look like a very bland version of the kenya which looks like a colt mixed with a xenia to me. anyway...

Ok - so I still don't have an exact ID on this coral (pretty sure it's colt coral though) - but something is either wrong or it's having babies? This morning I found a 'branch' of it on the ground - moved it up to the rock until I decided what to do with it... At first I thought something must...

I may as well jump in, too. After the Tom vs cath cabinet making/ refinishing contest last year http://thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68323 I haven't done diddly sqat. So here's my chance to get back on the upgrade mission. The width of the new-to-me 40 is the same as my 29, so I can...

Hi Everyone; I have a 150 with 20 gallon sump. 9 days ago I did a water change (20 gallon). I was a bit rushed so didn't add the salt the day before added the day of the change. I also added a new seio 1100 pump for flow. Since then one fish has died and my colt corals have closed up. I chatted...
