  1. new corals need a nice friendly ID

    Well upon encouragement from Melev I am attempting SPS once again. I went to the LFS Saturday and found these specimens:

    The above SPS is purple with small green polyps, It was next to the below acroporas but I couldn't get an ID from the LFS nor have I seen this particular growth style online yet.

  2. well, I broke down and did it....

    I finally did the one thing with this hobby I swore I would never do. Not that what I did was a necessarily bad thing but I just had a hard time convincing myself that it was worth it. What exactly is it you might ask? I finally broke down and purchased a Vortech Mp40. That's right I swore to myself that I would never spend that much money on what always amounted in my head to a very expensive power head but, as I have gained a very generous promotion at work and would like nothing more but to see ...

  3. the millepora arrived today! + a freebee

    Late last week I put 4 bids on ebay for some millepora which no one carries locally, I bid a low enough amount to where I was willing to take a gamble but I wasn't going to go big I also decided that if i was going to win one I better win at least 2 so I got reduced shipping cost.

  4. millepora light question

    Currently I am running a 6 bulb t5 setup at 54 watts a piece on a 48' long 75 gallon that hand about 3" above the water. I have always wanted and have tried on a few occasions to keep your standard acropora and millepora with no positive results to report all parameters are reading good, nitrate, phosphate, ammonia, mag, calc, dkh but I keep reading that rapid bleaching (which is what I keep experiencing) is caused by too much light and too little light results in browning and discoloration. ...
  5. 9 hours well spent!

    Well everything finally came in and so my day was spent putting it all together aside from the bio pellet reactor. I had requested a completely different one but to make a long story short Coral Vue sent me this bohemoth to make up for the delay, unfortunately I have no use for a reactor this big and will be trading it in on one a little more tank size appropriate (if they had sent me a larger skimmer that would be a different story though)
