    Monti Cap Edge change

    I have a 8 inch Orange Monti Cap that for a long time had that nice white edge indicating that it was growing. After switching to LED from T5's after a few months I noticed the white edge went away and eventually the edge became more jagged in some areas. The color is still good, the plate...

    LEDZeal Zeus Series

    I currently have a 36" Current USA Nova Extreme Pro T5HO (6 bulb) that is old and dusty and making me nervous that it will catch fire at some point. I've been looking into LED's and came across this light while looking for cheaper alternatives that don't look like crap. I really don't know much...

    Leave Algae on HOB Returns?

    I have a HOB refugium and HOB Skimmer that have algae coating the returns to the tank. Does leaving it there act as mini Algae Scrubbers or am I way off base and should remove it as it looks bad and smells a little?

    IceCap 3k Gyre

    So I originally had a Maxspect 130 gyre and I loved it, but it had wiring issues and it broke. Since then I was just using my old Koralia 3's and my corals weren't nearly as happy. I eventually bought this IceCap gyre and it was much larger and powerful than the Maxspect. I am having a heck of a...

    Red Fish Egg Type Algae?

    I don't know if this is visible or not but about 2 months ago I noticed one of my hermit shells had a reddish orange substance growing inside it. It proceeded to expand until it was breaking the shell apart. About a month later I noticed one of my rocks had the same stuff growing on it and it...

    Anyone tried TLC Marine S.A.T. (hair algae killer)

    I've been recommended to try this out, supposedly a lot of LFS use it on their tanks to keep hair algae gone and fish mortality low. Anyone tried it?

    Any copper in central jersey water?

    I'm having some issues with invertebrates dying and after doing the standard water tests from a master kit and checking for stray voltage I am still stumped other than the idea of copper being in the water. I use our sink water (in New Brunswick) filtered through a 6 stage RO/DI and I usually...

    Any LFS around known to have good zoa's and polyps?

    I have been looking for zoas for a while but most LFS I go to just have brownish ones. Maybe it's because they are gone by Saturday, I am not sure. Any particular locals spots usually have a nice colorful selection?

    Will this tank be good for a sump/refugium?

    It is a 65g 48"x18"x17x glass tank that was used to hold plants as a terrium. This would be used as a sump or QT for the future and the price was $40 bucks so it is hard to turn down. What do you experts think?

    location under our username

    wouldn't this make everything a lot easier if we had our location listed under our user name like I have seen on many sites. It would make it easier for mods who have to keep telling people in the For Sale thread to add their location. I know I would like to know what users live close to me, it...

    SPS lovers tell me why you love SPS because I can't get into it

    Maybe its because I am new to reefing, maybe I just haven't seen the right ones, but I just don't understand why people like SPS. To me they don't do anything but stand there like a craft that you could make out of Playdough. I understand that there are some nice colors and they are easy to...
