    Does the health of your coral go through cycles?

    IIRC reading through Paul B tank, which has been up for over 30 years, he goes through cycles like this.

    could use some help

    Here is a link to PAR ratings of the major T5 bulbs. PAR is the measurement of what the corals actually use from the light. The higher the number the better: http://sites.google.com/site/tfivetesting/par Bulb combo really comes down to personal choice and what you want your tank to look like...

    Stupid fish!!!

    I think Phyl meant if there was another fish chasing the jumpers. If a fish is constantly getting harrassed by a bigger/more aggressive fish it is more likely to jump.

    Tank crash survivors

    We just restocked our tank after the crash with 100% aquacultured and the corals we lost were about 97% aquacultured. Events like this make the don't break the chain threads very enticing, and a good way to keep present corals in the ocean.

    12 gallon JBJ

    Thank you guys for the compliments, we have been waiting on that goby because it is also a jumper and we wanted a covered tank. He is a bit reclusive, spends a lot of time in his caves with the pistol shrimp, but when he comes out to feed he is very interesting to watch. He came from Reef to...

    Anyone keeps firefish in a reef tank with open top?

    I have a pair of helfrichis right now in a covered tank and when they are scared they dive into the live rock and not up which is great. I like that fact that the tank is covered because I don't have to agonize over if I am going to come back home from work or wake up to $200+ on the floor. I...

    Avatar - who has seen it?

    Saw this in 3d and loved it. Not the most original story, but the effects were ground breaking. I hope it transfers well onto blu-ray because this is a movie that I want to own.

    Tank crash survivors

    I am coming out of a tank crash (power outage) and lost a bunch of SPS. I also had roughly 10 pieces that had almost all the flesh gone, but still had some left (like a half inch or less). I cut off the pieces and remounted them hoping for the best. I still lost a few of those but a bunch are...

    Our 30 Gallon Cube (pics included)

    This little bugger is a pain to get pictures of. The flame angel is also letting the wrasse know who is boss which also makes it tough. It should be interesting when the wrasses realizes it is a wrasse and decides not to take it anymore. The fish is blurry but the reflection is kinda clear: A...

    Twisteds 75 reeftank

    In a nutshell vodka dosing is adding food for the beneficial bacteria in your tank which causes them to increase their numbers and drop all of your "bad" parameters. A lot of people have had great success with it but I would only recommend it if you did a TON of reading beforehand. It is also...
