Hi guys, So recently within the last month or so I have noticed almost all of my SPS and similar corals have stopped growing. For instance my green slimer would have white tips from the growth and now the green has progressed all the way to the tips and show no indication of new growth. My...

I was just curious who out there had the current Orbit Marine LED fixture over their reef tank. I have the 48-60" above my 75. I've only had my tank going for 3 months but so far everything looks really good. I love the features but was a little nervous because it uses 1/4 watt LEDs. My fixture...

I have been wanting to ask this for such a long time, but thought I would see what happens first... havent had the luck I wanted yet. Is there a 'trick' to getting monti caps to scroll together and make those beautiful pieces I see sometimes? I have had 3 frags for about 8 months now (all...
