I got these yellow star polyps before I even had this tank. They are on a small peice of tonga branch. The tonga branch is now full of them and they have spread to the large rock. My question is when they come in contact with other corals is that going to cause an issue. I was thinking about...

Hi Everyone! Since getting my new lights last week Ive been noticing things in my tank I had never seen. I found a few mushroom some button polyps :dance:. However today I noticed something thats got me a little concerned green star polyps. I haven't bought star polyps in well over a yr I...

For about 2 years I've done everything in my power to keep all my parameters where they need to be. I've got the proper lighting. The best hang-on skimmer I could afford. I've done everything by the book. I have some zoas, shrooms, and yellow star polyps in my tank. I gave a couple of each...

I bought a timer for my lights. Come to find out that the timer is a two pronger and my T5's are a 3 pronger. I'm going to be gone till Monday. Should I just leave my lights off alltogether? Run the T5's the whole time? Or should I run my fluorescents the whole time? I could open the...

fish only systems or reefs that do not operate using the deep sandbed method. So...in other words...if you have a DSB you don't want one? What would you want to help with detrital matters? One more question...I've got a small outbreak of Aiptasia in my tank. Would I be better served buying...

I've got absolutely no clue what to do. I've been so dang intimidated for so long, but today...I did something that I've been telling myself that I could do and should do for a long time. I bought some zoos, some yellow star polyps, and some mushrooms. Now...what is the best/easiest way...

Anyone tried it, or should I be the guinea pig? :worm: (10 days and still 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 0 nitrates, so I figure why not, unless there have been bad experiences)

I haven't seen anything related to this idea, but then my search skills tend to be lacking. Let me explain the situation, and then ask the question. I have a 55 gallon reef tank. All water condition parameters have been excellent for over a year, and except for a little weird algae in my...

Hi all. At first I wasn't going to join the nano build-off, but decided late in the game to join in. I have some of my initial build pics, but not all so I'm hoping it won't count too much against me. I just couldn't resist the build off. So as the title suggests, my tank is a 20 gallon high...
