Re: keeping coral beauty and flame angel fish

Thanks for the advice. I was drawn to their colors, that's why I wanted both coflake beauty and flame angel. But if they're likely to fight, I'll pass.

keeping coral beauty and flame angel fish

I'm planning a 55 gallon tank with a 30 gallon refugium and was wondering if I can keep a coflake beauty and a flame angel together. I've heard that you should only keep one dwarf angel per tank, so I just wanted to confirm if that's true or not.

Re: Large polyp stony colonies for sale online

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 ...

Re: setting up a saltwater tank


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 ...

Re: setting up a saltwater tank


Even with the addition of pre-cured live sand and live rock, there will still be some die-off of the creatures. I would still recommend cycling the tank for a few weeks, around three, and make sure to skim during this period. What type of fish are you looking to introduce, and what's the size of ...

Re: Sick elegance coral care and advice

I pulled it today, it was swollen pretty badly. Too bad, I was really starting to like that coral.

The thing I'm worried about now is if this is contagious to other elegance corals - I just got another one from the LFS that was a great deal, and it's supposedly been in captivity for years.

Re: Sick elegance coral care and advice

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 ...

Re: Sick elegance coral care and advice

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