Thanks Len for the info, and as far as shipping the sps corals during the summer using this method, have you any loses?

Has anyone tried to ship corals using the moist bagging technique? I would like more info on how to do this. I hear it is probably one of the better ways to ship corals. Any help would be appreciated.

I would say on there side is the way to go. use super glue gel, just a little bit goes a long way. If you mount them on the sides they will encrust quicker and grow out better. As far as stress they are already stressed from shipping, etc. take care

It seems to me that your just guessing at everything. I am not trying to be rude but I want to get to the point. If your having problems with animals surviving then start with your water. Test the R/o water for ammo, nitrites, nitrates, phos, and silicates. That will give you a starting point...

In Brazil the reefs are now starting to die due to cutting the rain forest down. Why? cause by removing the trees it is disrupting the Eco system. I can not explain it well but one example, you get run off of dirt into the sea which covers the sunlight to the corals causing massive bleaching...

Check all your levels in the tank? nitrates may have something to do with it.

The bottom line is within our lifetimes the reefs as we now them will be gone and we have ourselves (humanity) to blame if we don't change our ways.

Just like reefnutz said. i tried both ways and it seems on its side is the better way to go. works for me too

Tank looks really good, keep up the good work and nice pics

Like chris said. i use to use the two part bionic and also dose kalwasser. know i make my own two part and still dose the kalwasser no issues here.

I find that the coraline and corals seem to grow with cal at 400-450 and alk at 9-12dkh and mag at 12-1300 but thats what works for my tank either way if your parameters are within range and steady that coraline should come back

to tell you the truth let me go and look. Watson Marlow 400 but i must say the hoses for this pump coast around 100.00 or more so i made my own for like 10 dollars. you have to be very creative to save money in this hobby, lol i think most of these types of pumps are well made and the reason i...
