Beautiful, clean pics and the frags look prime. Wish my mixed reef was doing better!

Looks to me like a classic Fire & Ice.

High end is typically because they do not live long and eventually melt for no apparent reason. I have had everything from Stratospheres, Speckaled Krak, Krak Gods, Asskraks, Hallucinations, Bowsers, Wowsers, Latin Lovers, Pink Diamonds to Koala Eyes. So much money down the drain. I loved...

Bump. Thanks.

Hi all, For Xmas of 2014 my GF got me a Hydra which was more compatible with my Apex unit. The light I am selling ran for 5 months at 10 hours a day while in use. It has sat packed away since. Well, I have finally got around to unpacking the light from boxes which we have from our last move...

I have GSP, green hairy mushrooms and I am sure we could peel some pulsing Xenia off for you

Tickets purchased! This will be our first swap and we cannot wait! Not to mention it is a 5 minute walk from our apartment. :)

Hi all, I have a very nice bright green hairy mushroom that continues to split and for my size tank is more a risk to the nano fish and inverts than anything else. It also is territorial so has pushed out a few other corals from their spots. Here are a few images. I believe there are now 3...

Hi there, If you do not mind me asking (I am interested in the same concept as the OP) what do you mean by "wtb ad for macro algae and rock rubble"? Thanks.

I have the same tank which is about 2 months old. Love it. I like your aquascape. That is a clever idea with the PVC pipe to form a solid base under the substrate. You mention "X2 IM media baskets - will be ordering InTanks (just came out today)" - can you elaborate? I use the IM Custom...

Read in a book that you should mix water 1 week in advance. We just started doing this last week. Prior to that we mixed the night before.

Yes - I am just using the ATO to slowly bring up the salinity. I will do a water change on Sunday using a higher salinity base to also help bring up the level. Once at 1.026 SG I will switch back to RO/DI. I have the RED SEA REEF COLORS PRO MULTI TEST KIT (I2,K,FE) and the RED SEA MARINE CARE...

Is there a reason using the ATO to increase salinity is not a good idea? Should I empty right away? I like the Xenia, but have also heard about them spreading like wildfire. ANy suggestions? Aqua Vitro Fuel - waste of money for what it does or literally wont help? "# Do NOT add , what you...

Thanks everybody for the helpful info. Sorry for not providing more information up front to make things more clear. The tank is about 3 months post cycle. We added 33.6 lbs of cured live rock from Absolutely Fish and about 30-35 lbs of CaribSea Arag-Alive Special Grade Reef Sand for the...
