I was wondering if anyone has accumulative insight or verstehen on placement of blue acros?...tort in this case. I bought an Oregon Tort frag about a year ago and it was pretty washed out when I got it. Owner had 12 watts a gallon, lights 4-6" from water and frag 2/3 up the compact tank. I...

So, I had to move my my tank. Everything went well. I replaced all of my water with Tropic Marin Bio Marin. Everything is still looking good (levels) but my skimmer won't stop overflowing. It's been 2 1/2 weeks. I understand the properties of this new salt. I've never had my skimmer OF this...

is there such a thing as a green or pink birdsnest? I picked-up a frag and it was pink on the top and a little green underneath. Supposedly it started all green and turned pink under lighting placement. So, the question stands.
