Re: sharing a different view

I'd definitely recommend considering a refractometer for measuring salinity, they tend to be way more accurate than hydrometers which can sometimes give you slightly off readings.

Re: Hammer corals making a comeback

I'm still amazed it came back, to be honest - the skeleton looked completely lifeless for a solid month before I saw the buds. I mean, it had zero visible tissue, just a bare skeleton. It's crazy to think about how many other euphyllias I might've tossed that could've made a comeback. Maybe I'd ...

Re: Hammer corals making a comeback

Just figured I'd follow up on this for anyone interested. The buds on my skeleton are multiplying, which is pretty crazy considering there was zero visible tissue on it initially. I'd normally have tossed it by now, but I guess this just goes to show you shouldn't write off your euphyllias too ...

Hammer corals making a comeback

I had a hammer that kicked the bucket, and being the procrastinator I am, I left the skeleton in the tank for months. I recently took a closer look and noticed what appears to be clear polyps budding from the ridges - it's eerily similar to when they bud new heads from the skeleton. Has anyone else ...

Re: Removing chalice corals from glass

Anything that was stuck to the gflintix9s got pretty much destroyed. The central raised part made it, so I'm basically starting over from scratch.

Re: Removing chalice corals from glass

Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate it. I ended up using the razor blade method, but it didn't quite go as planned. Couldn't get the razor under the chalice, so I had to get a bit creative. I cut the chalice around the rock, removed the rock, and then chipped off the parts attached to ...

Removing chalice corals from glass

I've got a bit of a situation on my hands and I'm hoping someone can offer some advice. I recently picked up a Hollywood Stunner, and in the process of acclimating it, I ended up placing it on a bare bottom. Fast forward to now, and it's grown about 1.5 inches onto the bottom. I'm in a bit of a ...

Re: setting up a new configuration

Sweet porcupine
Yeah, a snowflake eel could work out pretty well. Foxface is another option that might be worth a shot.

Re: Removing chalice corals

I attempted the same method, but it didn't work out. Ended up cutting out the middle frag disk, and then just scrapped off the rest. Managed to save a small piece aside from the disk.

Re: clownfish in my tank

Thanks for the reassurance, good to know the colour should develop with age and proper nutrition.
