  3. Amphipods eating coral??

    I have or should say had a acro frag and noticed that it was not doing well. When I looked closer it had a number of what I think are amphipods on it and looked like they were eating it. I have looked on the web and it seems that most people feel that amphipods do not eat corals and are only cleaning up dead or dying tissue. The now seem to have moved to another coral. Any advise or comment would be appreciated.

I knew I was sold. 6 weeks later the light with 8 purple LED's arrived at my door. I took down my old Ecoxotic Retro and set this baby up on my tank cover for a quick view and WOW am I blown away. I ...

  5. Saturday night... here's the latest

    I received an email from Marineland on Friday that informed me the trucking company would contact me Monday for pickup. I hope they pick it up that same day, since it is 100% ready and road-worthy. I ended up putting a tarp over the crate as we had stormy weather Wednesday and Thursday, thanks to a suggestion by one person here on RA. It'll be nice to have that gone.

    Working in the 215g isn't what I'd consider easy. There's not much space above the tank, and the huge cross brace ...
