Re: Dosing for lps corals
Another thing to consider with running Kalk through your ATO is that you've got two main limitations to keep in mind. Firstly, you're limited by evaporation - you can only add a fixed amount at full strength. While this might not be an issue for most LPS-dominant tanks, it can become a problem if ...

Re: Friend's coral care advice: right or wrong?
I think my friend's got it wrong. No name SPS corals losing color? Not necessarily. My friend's got experience, I'll give him that, but it's not like they're cars or something – brand and price don't always mean better performance.

Re: keeping chromis and mandarins together
Getting an RO system is a great move for a reef tank. I'd definitely recommend getting copepods for your mandarin - they're notoriously tricky to keep. It's no surprise your mandarin isn't eating mysid and brine shrimp yet, they don't naturally eat them in the wild. I'd suggest getting copepods ASAP ...

Re: need help with vermiculated angel
Tank setup, pics, and details would be helpful. SH
Vermiculated angelfish are naturally semi-aggressive, so it's tough to completely change that behavior.
I'd try rearranging the tank to reduce territorial behavior in your vermiculated angelfish. Since it's semi-aggressive by nature, breaking ...

need help with vermiculated angel
I'm having some issues with my vermiculated angelfish - it's getting pretty aggressive. My angel's been chasing my little nemos into a corner where they can't even swim away. I feel bad for the poor guys. Does anyone know how to reduce aggression in these fish?

Re: Lobophyllia attacking my chromis.
It's not uncommon for this to happen. My larger Lps are notorious for devouring big snails, and I frequently wake up to find thumb-sized stomatella shells scattered around my big Goniastrea and Symphilia. I recall witnessing it once in the dark – a rather gruesome sight, with goo and mesenteric ...

Re: Encrusting lps corals worth considering
I'd also consider Leptastrea, Cyphastrea, Favia, and Chalices. These guys are all pretty decent encrusters, and as a semi-noob, you shouldn't have too much trouble keeping them happy.

observations on clownfish breathing patterns
Just got back from Orlando, Florida and found a skeleton of one of my clownfish in my room. Now I'm left with the last one and it's breathing rapidly - can't be the water stats, maybe it's stressed from the angelfish? Or could it be marine velvet, I don't see any spots though.
