We htought it was just as important to document some of our failures as well as our sucesses as we think both are important learning tools for everyone. We are hoping to have everything back up to full strength in a couple of weeks.

If it is brown and slimy it could be the dread brown jelly. http://www.athiel.com/lib/bacterial.html Now that you are getting into LPS and SPS you might also want to start testing your alk, as they can have big effects on your corals.

I got bad new for you, that guy is not coming back. On the two heads that are on the right, it that coral flesh that is left or is it a brown slimy substance? Hard to tell from the pics.

We love cleaner shrimp, when kept in pairs (which is essentially just put two together as they are hermaphoditic) they are quite active and out. They will clean fish which is nice but one of the biggest bonuses is that they spawn constantly which means free live fish food.

For that size and the corals, I think the Par 38 leds would be just right.

Here is a good rundown of PAR: http://blog.captive-aquatics.com/captive_aquatics/2010/08/par-and-reef-aquarium-lighting-what-is-par.html We are not saying the coralvue bulbs are terrible, it is just the ATI bulbs are better. You don't have to throw them out but when you are looking to replace...

The watts per gallon rule kind of fell by the wayside a few years ago. The new number everyone uses is PAR. Under t5s you should have no problem with the LPS, in fact they will probably thrive under it. Plates should be on your sand bed anyways so it should be fine, you can shade it under...

I live less than 5 minutes from Paul and as of now I am registered for the meeting. If anything that can fit into an audi a4 convertible needs to go, I can bring it (this is of course barring any great thing that would prevent me from going to the meeting).

+1 to the chemipure elite, I have been running it on my 12g since I setup in nov 2008.

We moved some things around and our helfrichi pair out of nowhere decided to start fighting. We dont' know if we shifted their bolt hole or what but the aggression started. We had some old shot glasses laying around so we through a couple in there to give some extra hiding places. I don't...
