    Why do so many people leave the hobby?

    i think a lot of it is frustration. idk about you, but with me its always something. within the past year: my tank leaked, my main pump failed, and failed again, my chiller got stuck in the on position (tank got down into the 60s), my doser dumped both 2 part solutions in and gave me a...

    ID This Monti Cap

    under actinics, are the polyps yellow? if so, its probably the wwc starburst cap. theres also a coral that looks identical, the setting sun cap from reeffarmers. they are probably the same coral under 2 names. if the polyps are actually white and never get pigment, ive never seen it before.

    mystique monti cap

    just came across this, and i was like 'i want one' - too bad $200 for a frag is too much for me. http://www.reefraftusa.com/product-p/sig24.htm anyone see this in person. it looks to insane to be real.

    Your tank parameters for a college project

    The majority of the project will be an analysis of current scientific data. However I'm recquired to do a 'community service' portion for project, and there really isn't much I can do. The teacher suggested something along these lines so I'm going with it. I agree, sticking a few frags in...

    Your tank parameters for a college project

    As part of a class I am doing a "citizens science" project and want to collect some data to preform statistical analysis and display the results. The results should correlate various aquarium parameters to coral growth rates. I would appreciate if as many people would give me data, as the...

    Ban on 20 corals

    agreed. but it was proposed by a private group. besides most of our politicians who ignore scientists prefer to ignore them outright, not misquote them. and hell how can you claim ponape birdsnests are threatened when they were officially described to recently to possibly come to any...

    Ban on 20 corals

    wow. so the whole proposal is a shot in the dark by people who didn't bother to consult the research at all.

    Ban on 20 corals

    Anyone see this article: http://reefbuilders.com/2015/01/23/saltwater-aquatics-industry-major-jeopardy/ apparently a bunch of corals we keep could be declared illegal to buy/sell/ship/own. including A. lokani, ponape birdsnests, and frogspawns. i just put up a comment on the govt site as...

    New survivor: meteor shower cyphastrea I now see 3 polyps expanded and alive, but without any surrounding tissue. Since this coral is a slow grower anyway, it's not a very useful survival since it will be a year til I have enough to call a frag. But I might get a frag and add it to the...
