thats awesome- im gonna have to come over one day- if your frag tank looks that good i wonder how amazing the display tank looks- everything is super colored.
i think ya need a ton of emerald crabs in there- i love the look of like dirty rocks tho covered in different colored coralines and browns and greens- for some reason my rocks like to say 100% clean : /
lol nahh check your water parameters- corals will not always die when tissue falls off all my corals had tissue necrosis along time ago back in the 55 when i didnt check parameters- then after maintaing non changing alk my corals grew new tissue and grew again- so just check your parameters and...

yeap figured out it had to be the trace elements or something was in the water that shouldnt be there- after doing 12 gallon weekly waterchanges everything poped back but this week i couldn't do a water-change- lots of stuff happening and the tank needs to run on its own for a week- you think...
coraline algea is kind of like corals- they need strong but to mcuh will cause it to bleach- i think a metal halides spectrum helps the coraline grow - while the t-5s just puts out to much of somesort of light that they dont like- in my caves theres coraline growing but what ever light hits is...
