As previous posts have said, the light of different intensity will produce different colors, where brownish will be correspond to lower light. If certain piece of coral is in shade, it will not color fully. MH with their very small surface area of the light orign will produce very directional...

I have built a rack for my lights from 1/2" aluminum L profiles that I have bought in Home Depot fro less then 15$. Small dril, saw (dremel) and rivets and it is done in less then 30min. It sits on the top of my tank, in the tank edges, and fits inside of the tank enclosure (stand). You can set...

As Phyllis has pointed out, you add calcium only to replenish the one used by corals. While the rest of the life in your tank is also using it, it does it on a much smaller scale so that regular water changes will balance it properly. Calcium levels are maintained in one or in combination of the...

2-3 bad : 1 good is what is usaually assumed.

Just because you see pods around the problem area, it doesn't have to mean that they are the culprit (killers). It could also mean that they are simply scavengers (cleaners) of the tissue thet is already decaying for some other reason (some other predator, bacterial or viral infection, bad water...

I will bring some for you.

If it gets wet from the water splashing it would certainly not get moldy with all the salt that will be deposited on it ;D However, salt in itself with the presure from the water that got soaked into it will slowly degrade the wood. Use polyurethane coating to prevent salt buildup inside the...

From the description loks lke some bacterial or viral growth. Have you tried garlic?

I also blended my own mix of seafood. The fish likes it, but the problem is that I have possibly blended it too much (I wanted it for SPS corals) and I got bit of positiove boyancy and the only way I could target feed the corals with it was after diluting it quite a bit with a tank water.

Peppermint Shrimps are proven excellent inexpensive tool against aptasias. And will be very useful after eradicating aptasias as well.

My Yellow tang has never directly attacked my hand in the water, but it is constantly attacking the glass between us when I am very close to the glass. I suspect that this is when fornt glass becomes a mirror and it is actually attacking its own reflection thinking that it is another tang...

Good luck finding it among ~200 of those in here http://www2.aims.gov.au/coralsearch/coralid_search.php ;D

keep them away from water splashes.

Range of sensors might be quite different from what you need for the tank.

The way you prevent the image linking (embedding) is by analyzing the Referer tag in the HTTP request. While it is optional tag, all browsers, I know of, implement it, and you can certainly enforce it and encrypt it from your own application (web site). I would venture that if this web site...

Yes, it is considered perfectly safe and is most widely used in attaching frags to surfaces (plugs, rubble, rocks). As using it to attach two fittings, I wouldn't use it for several reasons - while it is called superglue, in reality the bond highly depends on the surfaces being attached and I...

I agree with you, embeded pictures are much nicer then links, however something got messed up and the placeholders for images were not loading the images. They would be filled only from the cache once I manually loaded JPGs.

I will try to simplify it this way: Different molecules in water and different concentrations of such molecules will create bubbles whose membranes are of different strengths. At the same time the water molecules would try to either evaporate or "drain" down. Thus, bubbles with molecules...

I apologize for my colorful expression. I didn't want to scare you. What has happened has happened and the process has run its course. Now, judging by the posts on different sites on the web, some tanks got affected because of large swings in pH and Alk and some didn't get affected much. If you...

Me too. Though I perfectly understand why, right now, she might be very upset and a bit humiliated because of the publicity, if she can not forgive him then they probably were not for each other.
