Thanks Chris... i read you're "if you're new here, read this" and boy, is that the truth<finally realising that. In the beginning it was so confusing..because, as you pointed out...EVERYBODY has an opinion. I've learned to look at people's other posts and note how long they havre been members...

Brandon. thanks for your quick reply. Am not sure whether they suggested it or i did. As i said, i heard that the stock pump is not very good. I think i will follow your advice and pull it<everybody was fine before that. I was thinking that in the future i would need it as i collect more corals...

My water parameters are excellent before and after my weekly water change. I will put in new carbon and just leave them be for awhile.It's funny, i was so worried about the toadstool coral and he's fine. Now, it's the polyps that are hurting. Live and learn. thanks for your help.

I have a 24g nano cube. I have read (and was told) that i needed more circulation, so i bought a CA 600 powerhead per LFS suggestion.The LFS told me to just "stick" it (with the provided suction cups) onto the side of the aqauarium. I have been reading a number of threads re:24g nano cubes...

This is kind of a long story...because I didn't do my homework!(newbie)! I made an impulse buy and created havoc! I have a 24g nano cube and bought a plate coral. I have been moving very slowly (tank started in March). As a result, i only had 1 toadstool coral and 1 brown polyp colony.Everybody...

So...now i have one fish, 1cleaner shrimp,1 toadstool coral,1 brown polyp,the cleanup crew and i plate coral<another mistake but, i love it!Have been up and running since march <i moved very slowly..i'd buy something and wait 3-4 weeks before adding anything else. So, where are you in your reef?

Len...he's in "trough" in a large piece of LR. Someone suggested using a credit card to get between the anemone and the <i'll have to cut the credit card to fit in the 1" wide trough. I think i should wait til nitetime when he's small.i'll let you know what happens.Won't try til next week tho'...

I feel so stupid<I have tried to identify it and can't find an identical picture!Dummy me...I listened to the LFS, brought it home and plopped it in (after acclimation) with my cleanup crew and cleaner shrimp...no fish or corals then. The LFS told me it was a Sebae anenome...but, to me (in my...

I am a "newbie" to reefkeeping<actually, this is my first post! I started my aquarium (24g nano) in April. I cycled with LR and LS. I moved slowly on adding inhabitants<cycled 1 month, then clean up crew<1month then,a cleaner shrimp...anyway, i made a dumb purchase of an anemone<learned that...
