I LOVE toadstool leathers (sarcophytons) and have a 20 gallon softie-only DT that has about 7 different sarcophytons. The tank has 3 fish which I feed daily with a generous amount of some thawed San Francisco Bay Brand Emerald Entree. The corals seem to do well yet are not growing as fast as I...

Hello all! I'm beginning to figure out this video software! This is a video that shows 7 months of growth in 30 seconds. Hope you like it! Whiskey

Hello, I am cycling my tank and I am now getting some algae growth on the glass. Is this the same thing as diatoms? Or maybe the beginning of coralline algae? Should I clean it off the glass or leave it? I will attach a picture.

Wanted to hear peoples thoughts on this. A few things to include in your post- Growth with 0 nitrate vs with nitrate Filters used in your sps tanks Parameters in your sps tanks Fish stocking and feeding regiment Thanks!

Hello, I have seen some clownfish that are about 2 1/4 inches long and I have seen some that are about 1 1/4 inches long. What do the people feed and how often to get a clownfish grow to be 2 1/4 inches long?

Ok everyone, i need some advice/help with my frag tank. I am not seeing very good growth. Most corals seem ok but not flourishing like I would have hoped. I am wondering if PH is the problem??? First a little info. Tank is a 45 gal peninsula ( approx 12 inches deep) draining into a 20 gal...

Recently My boys and I started a separate 45 gallon frag tank using two 54 watt Nemo leds. Recently I purchased a 180 watt Wattshine LED from Amazon after reading a lot about “black Boxes.” My intention was to use the Nemo lights for lower light demanding corals and the Wattshine for higher...

Hi Everyone, I have a Red Sea Reefer 350 tank (roughly 90 gallons total) and have had issues with color on my SPS. My corals have displayed no color and barely any growth - they're very pale in color.. I just checked my phosphate levels using Hanna and they were 0.00. I am carbon dosing with...

Hi, this is my first post on R2R. I've been using this forum as a resource, just reading threads, for almost a year now, and it's been fantastic, so when I encountered this problem I couldn't figure out how to solve, I figured I'd join. (But I'm sure I'll use this forum for a bunch else now...

I just noticed this white stuff on one of my zoa frags. Anyone have any ideas?

We currently have a 28g JBJ Nano-cube. We removed the hood, and have been using a T5/Metal halide combo fixture. Our tank life (which looks "ok") consists of zoas, torch, frog spawn, hammer, Duncan, ricordea, and a few others that I can't remember the names of. Will the sBox Sprite Reef Nano...

Back in late August I built a algae scrubber. To this day all it has grown is diatoms... Info about the scrubber: Waterfall style, screen is about 9" x 4", uses an individual pump to supply flow 295gph pump and most importantly the lights... rapidled solderless leds, 4 reds and 2 blues on each...

I have a 180 gallon mixed reef with mostly SPS. Lit by LED and flow by two Tunze 6105 powerheads and a Waveline DC-6000 return pump. My current params are 8 dKH Alk, 420 Ca, 1250 Mg, .10 P04, 5 NO3 I'd like to see if I can get more growth and color from my SPS. I also cant grow digitata...

When I bought this clownfish, I didn't notice this bump on it until I brought it home. I was concerned for a while, but never found any information on it. I have had this clownfish for about two years now, and seems to be healthy, other than the lump on its side. It swims normally, eats...

Hello. I'm new to this forum and I love learning all about corals and ocean life. I need to know how fast a zoanthid grows. Unlike most zoanthid owners, I need to find out how slow a basic zoanthid can grow. How fast does it sprout new polyps? It's hard to explain but basically, what's the rate...

Curious to see if anyone has photos of their progress with nutrient dosing. I see many threads of discussion of how to go about this but I have not seen too many discussions with photos of "improved coloration and growth" that many people claim. Please post your results. Thanks in advance!

I'm sure am doing things wrong hence the thread. How do you folks grow LPSs the likes of Torch, Frogspawn, Hammer etc? All my parameters are checked, do I just need TIME of the essence i.e. Patience? In saying this, I've waited far too long (3 years) without any noticeable growth. Don't get...

OK guys I am a stubborn person, a person that refuses to ask for directions or in this case, Help! But it is time to put my tail between my legs and do just that, Ask for Help. My tank has been up and running for over 2 years and I can not get anything type of LPS or SPS to grow. Matter of fact...

So, I have run out of patience and need some advice on how to get my mostly stagnant SPS to grow again. My SPS are stagnant. Some are colorful, but most are slightly dull. Dull meaning either brown or too pale. My growth, when there is some present, is base growth. It's rarely any vertical...

Does anyone have pics of these "new" designer montiporas that have been popping up for the past year like the JF slow burn or the beach bum, stuff like that? im curious if they hold their awesomeness.

hey reefers, just wanted some input on which light fixture you guys would go with and why. I'm in between the radion xr15 pro and the AI Hydra 26 HD. I'm really interested on growth. Turning an old cube into a frag tank, sits about 18 inches high. Thanks for your help in advance !

These have been growing on one of my zoa's for a while, anyone know what it is?

About a month ago I bought the Kessil A80 for my 29G planned LPS dominant tank. I am starting to load the tank with more coral each week. Does anyone have a good schedule for lighting to promote growth? Thanks! Have a reef day!
