Hi Matt. It's Jason. I was wondering if you could remind me what the name of the coral I picked up Friday is? I can't remember the name and I was hoping to do some research on the coral. It looks fantastic in my tank!

The colors are there but they aren't puffing up like they did at Sho Tank. Could this be too much light? An Alkalinity issue?

One thing I have been noticing on my tank recently is that when my Radion Gen 3 is on my water doesn't look as clear as it does when the LED is off. It almost has a very mild haze to it. My tank is 36" x 36: x 18" so I know that there could be some depth effect. My tank walls are Starphire...

I have a 96 Gallon tank and a E-Shopps 200 Refugium. Since I have 120+ gallons in my system I picked up a 300W Via-Aqua titanium heater and put it in the first chamber. The heat was going higher than it should have which made me wonder if the standard "recommendations" are wrong when the...

I got a Ghost Ribbon Eel from Sho Tank last weekend. Matt said they eat Krill but so far it hasn't gone towards the Krill I put in front of it. I've tried dried and frozen Krill. Any suggestions/tips?

I noticed these the other day. I am not sure what they are. I think they may be dinoflagellates but I am not sure. My skimmer was down for a couple days because the needle wheel impeller cracked. I also scooped out old Miracle Mud from my refugium so I am wondering if these were growing down...

I made a DIY ghetto version of the Gnome Glass Airstone skimmers for my 14g Biocube with a PVC pipe and it worked OK but I think I can do better. Are there any adapters for a small 70 gph water pump to airstone size tubing? I am wanting to run a water feed line at the top pointing down to make...

I haven't been very happy with the first chamber of my E-Shopps R-200 refugium for a while and have been thinking about ways to modify it. I REALLY LIKE the way the Aqueon ProFlex sumps handle the first chamber so I am thinking about trying to mod my E-Shopps to match it. E-Shopps R-200...

I have a whole house water filter system so I have been wondering if I really need to run it through a RO/DI filter. How do you actually verify whether or not your water is safe for a reef aquarium?

I set up a little DIY Mame Skimmer using a PVC pipe for my Biocube that I want to improve. I saw an interesting idea at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCdKfk6MD7g in regards to purring a water feed from a powerhead coming in through the top. My question is what would be the best way to connect...

I finally got my LED retrofit kit for my BioCube 14g today. I got a little overzealous unplugging all of the stock equipment and didn't realize I would need some of it to power the fans. Does anyone know how they are supposed to be wired or know of a DIY way I could power them using something...

Has anyone had much luck running a wavemaker in a rimless tank? I was running one on my tank but I realized that the water was slowly collecting on the top of the glass opposite my MP40W and salt creeping down the outside. I am tempted to put a lip along that edge but it would make the tank...

I've noticed that in the morning when my lights are off my zoa polyps are all extended and my encrusting goniopora polyps are starting to push out. But once my lights go on later in the day they are all mostly retracted. I am also concerned about my Acanthastrea as they seem to shrink. Right...

I've been following the AquaVitro Fuel thread and I realized that I am not entirely sure what to think of the issue. I've always been told the goal of any reef keeper is zero nutrients in the water if at all possible. Now I am finding out that this is actually harmful to some corals. I was...

I currently have: 1 Acan frag - Seems to be shrinking off of skeleton 1 Bubble Coral frag - Decent polyp extension 1 Montipora frag - Can't tell for sure since it is a small frag 2 Zoa Colonies - Look great with good polyp extension 1 Goniopora - Not extending polyps 1 Sarchophyton coral - Has...

I know many people have been using the Pickling Hydrated lime as a Kalk Substitute. My question is if anyone is using the hydrated lime they sell at Home Depot, Menards, etc. as you can get a huge bag for $5?

I have an 18" deep 100 gallon tank and a Radion LED unit about 8 inches above the water.. Right now I only have two Zoa colonies, a small Bubble Coral, and a Goniopora frag. I've been running the Radion at around 40%. I'm not sure if this is too much or too little. The Zoa colonies only seem...
