Re: sharing your thoughts on coral care

Give oyster feast a try, I saw a huge difference in my colors when I switched.

Re: sharing your thoughts on coral care

Looks good, I agree, but I'd advise against pellets. Mysis or oyster feast would be a better option for him.

Re: keeping chromis in pairs: is it possible

I've had a pair of Green Chromis in my tank for a while now. One of them is noticeably bigger than the other, and yeah, it does chase the smaller one around a bit. But that's as far as it goes, no fin nipping or any of that nonsense.

I've also got an electric blue damsel, and this little guy can ...

Re: Frogspawn, hammer, and gonipora: water flow and lighting preferences

I'd put the gonipora on the right, and I've actually got mine in the sand, seems to do well there. Frogspawn and hammers can handle a decent amount of flow, but I wouldn't say they love it. My experience is in a high flow SPS dominant tank, so might be different for you.

Re: auriga butterfly species discussion

Water parameters are all within normal range... but the butterfly's condition has taken a turn for the worst - it's actually passed away now and I'm pretty gutted about it.

auriga butterfly species discussion

I've had my auriga butterfly in the tank for about 2-3 months now. Initially, my yellow tang gave it a bit of a hard time, but they seemed to accept each other within a couple of days. The butterfly's been pretty laid back since then. I've had a couple of white spot outbreaks, which always started ...

Re: Lighting for lps corals

xr15 pro with wide angle lens

I've been considering this setup too, Rivera5. My buddy with that JBJ 30 gallon tank had some issues with shading. He's got the XR 15 pro and it's got one puck, which creates a hotspot in the middle area. He's got it programmed but when we cranked it up to 14k on the ...

Re: Torch coral morphing into bubble coral

As long as your water conditions are good, I wouldn't stress about it. Bubbling tips aren't a cause for concern, but receding tips might be a different story.

Re: Torch coral morphing into bubble coral

I've noticed changes in water movement can cause that bubbling effect, but since yours hasn't changed, I'm curious - what are your current water parameters looking like?

Re: My yellow tang has lymphocystis

What does the LYMPHOCYSTIS look like, is it a small white growth, kinda fluffy looking? I had the same thing on my YT when I first put it in the tank, and it just fell off after a week or so.
