Re: Caring for euphyllia corals

I keep a super detailed reef log, testing every three days and the salt bucket whenever I get new salt in. So far, salt batches have been consistent between the two 50 lbs lots I've gotten. Only real swings I've noticed in the tank are pH, it's at 7.8 but goes up to 8.0 then back down throughout the ...

Re: Caring for euphyllia corals

I've got the ability to dose, but I'm not sure what to aim for. With my levels already being so high, I'm hesitant to start adding more. I've got a batch of BRS 2 part with Mag mixed up and ready to go, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. My experience with my first tank, a Fluval Spec V, was a ...

Re: Caring for euphyllia corals

I'm actually using Kent, and I think the reason my calcium levels are so high is due to the low drain from the corals at the moment. There are only four corals in the tank, so it's not like they're consuming much. Once I get the tank more packed, I'm expecting the calcium levels to drop. With the ...

Re: Caring for euphyllia corals

I've got a branching hammer on the left, and it's actually grown since I moved it from the nano. I'm thinking of adding more colors to create a bundle. I've been warned against keeping torches next to hammers, but I really want to place one on top. I know they're pricey, and the thought of it not ...

Re: Caring for euphyllia corals

I've got a 40-gallon JBJ all-in-one tank with roughly 480 constant GPH. Two intake pumps in the back, a GFO reactor, and a 9004 Tunze skimmer make up this flow. I also have an MP10 on reef flow, which ramps up and down throughout the day, giving me anywhere from 200-1,500 gallons per hour. The two ...

Re: Caring for euphyllia corals

If I shared a pic of my setup and some key parameters, could you guys help me find the sweet spot for a torch coral? I'm itching to add one, but my tank's on the smaller side and I want it to look pretty full. Knowing they can pack a punch and sting nearby corals has me thinking twice about ...

Re: Observations of blue damsels' behaviour

hey buddy, got two damsels myself and they're pretty cool now. started with four, but the two strongest ones picked on the weaker pair, ended up with just two. now they're always going at each other, one after the other. heard they get more aggressive with age, but they're alright with my other fish ...

I concur, it's likely the seahorses might get some food, but it'll still be a challenge.


Sorry about the Capslock, got a bit carried away. 50g isn't huge, I know, but it's been working for me so far. I do have coflakes in there, so I guess that rules out the dwarf angel. But I did check them ...

Re: about the seahorse

Thanks for the honesty guys, I think I'll have to put my seahorse dreams on hold for now.

I'd love some advice - what else can I get that's colorful or similar to tangs? I really like those.

Has anyone tried breeding clownfish? I've heard it's possible, but how hard is it?
