Who Gives A Fish Forums

Looking for LPS colonies online? I've had the chance to visit numerous LFS across California and I must say, Aqua San Diego truly stands out. Their LPS collection is exceptionally impressive.

Another great option I'd recommend is Unique Corals. Not only do they offer an impressive selection, but ...

Hi,

I'm making the switch from freshwater to saltwater and I have a ton of questions. I'll start with this one. I'm planning to buy Live Sand, LR, and fish all at once from an established tank. I currently have an empty tank. My question is, do I still need to cycle my tank before adding ...

Even with the addition of pre-cured live sand and live rock, there will still be some die-off of the creatures.

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. I've taken a closer look at the photos and it seems like there's this gooey stuff coming from the tentacles, not sure what that's all about. Anyway, I decided to move the coral under some overhangs with minimal light and that seems to have done the trick ...

Here's another photo, just wanted to give a better view of the filamentous material coming from the coral.

I got this coral a week ago and it quickly became one of my favorites. The LFS had it for three months, looked great in their tank, but the elegance coral next to it didn't look so hot.

I brought it home, skipped the dip, and it looked fantastic. It's under metal halides, in the bottom right corner ...

Considering setting up a 10 gallon refugium, thinking MH light might be overkill.
