  2. can you believe this???

    What is wrong with SPS coming out of the water for 30 minutes for a water change? What do you think happens in low tide? SPS are out of the water for a lot longer than 30 minutes. Also, some exporters actually ship SPS dry and only wrapped in moist leaves or paper from the reefs. SPS have...
