The water is bad....thats a different subject- thinking of building a refug/sump to help...What if anything can i do for the brain now...last night came completely off of the skeleton and is floating around the tank, i cant imagine that it will survive if i cannot attach it to something or cause...

My Trachyphyllia last summer was receeding off of its skeleton....Nearing a year later is finally going to come all the way off its skeleton. It has survived and still looks good when fully inflated but over the last week it has been its attachment to its skeleton entirely......is there anyone...

In regards to The S.G. after adding water a few times today, reads 1.024 on my CORALIFE DEEP SIX the temperature is 77*F. At the moment the trachy is looking a little 'over inflated' ... still watching for members thoughts, thanks. btw-here's the latest pic

ive been topping with RO/DI, just did a check at 6:30 am and salinity w/my CORALIFE DEEP SIX read 1.27, i should go get some more water after school&work this afternoon........ Can they recover? Will it cover all of its skeleton again if i get this figured out???

no, i dont have a pic tonight.. the tank didnt have a water change for about a month and a half, ive got two anemonies in opposite areas in the tank that were shrinking in size gradually over the summer and shrooms that were not doing much. unfortunately i did not do a reading on the 20...

My green brain's flesh has been coming up its skeleton from the base, im not sure if it started after doing a long over due water change or if it started earlier. What's going to happen to it now??? Ive tried to get the water levels to its stated requirements and im not sure if its doing...

Ok, so since posting last i have aquired a stand to hold my 20gal high reef tank and another underneath it. I am interested in building a skimmer, i would like to ask who has built skimmers to help me out with some design that they were quite pleased with. Thank you for your continued help...

I have a 20gal tank existing, and i just picked up another 20 for a sump/refug....I often hear that most systems that have a mech filteration system cause nitrates>>what kind of system could be set up with the other 20 that is good biological filteration(nitrate/phosphate reducing) im also...

I bought one around january and i had a velvet damsel in my tank that bit chunks out of it; so until i could take the fish to the LFS i put a clear tupperware bowl over it and cut holes for water movement. During this time my brain had time to heal and did so quite quickly.

Im interested in putting a MH on my 20H tank. I would like to ask you guys where i can get the cheapest HQI ballasts--i can put it together, THE CHEAPEST place to order from....Thanks!

yes, this one hasnt moved around in a long time. I did a water change last week, but other than that i dont know why anything would cause it to want to seek out a better spot..no big deal, im just trying to finally ask some questions on here...thanks for your welcome!

Curious, one of my LTA's moved itself 2" away from my powerhead in direct flow of it, ideas as to why? now its moving more up to the top of the tank as well.....Ive had my PC for about a year, would it really be important to get new bulbs now if i want to maximize the unit?

I have a "skilter" and its often not turned on for skimming because its quite loud. It's always operating as a filter....And when i do have it skimming it does not work well, i have in the past tried to increase its potential with airstones and aux. airpump's...

My 20 gallon aquarium is well established, its been running for close to 2 years with things that have been changed from time to time, i want to figure out how to get all my stats in order without getting a larger system right now. I have 3 fish, a couple of LTA's, shrooms, green star polyps...
