Re: Poll on ocellaris clownfish

I voted yes, though I still think the poll could be clearer. Tank dimensions play a big role here - consider the length, width, and height. A 20 long, for example, has the same height and width as a standard 10 gallon, but it's 10 inches longer. While clowns could survive in a 10 gallon, I think it ...

Re: Frogspawn coral outgrowing my tank

I think 100 is a bit low for your alk level - 5.6 dkh is quite a way off from where you'd want it to be. Raising it quickly isn't something I'd recommend, as it can be pretty stressful for your tank's inhabitants. I've heard that a safe limit is around 0.5 dkh per day, but I'm not entirely sure ...

Mysterious growth on my purple tip elegance coral

I've been observing these unusual orange "spikes" protruding from my Aussie elegance over the past couple of days. Never seen anything like this before, and I'm stumped. I did notice a slight increase in my PO4 levels lately, up to 0.04 from zero, and I've been dealing with some GHA growth. Could ...
