  1. I need to make room for a clam and need to sell my huge clove coral colony. The polyps have completely covered a spiral rock that is aprox 8 inches tall. This coral grows quickly and requires no special care such as spot feeding. It is growing well at the bottom of my tank (30 inches deep) with T5 setup. Please let me know if you are interested!! I will be home all day on Fri. Asking $40 but make an offer. Also interested in sps or lps trades.

  2. my naso cramped in an L shape and cant swim at all after I plucked some palys out of my tank. I was using forceps and pulled around 15 palys and maybe 100 small polyps of clove coral. an hour later, my naso is on his death bed. There is a large bulge in his side!! Is there anything I can do?? Lugals? I pulled him out of the rocks by his tail and he pooped a bit but floated back to the rocks.

  3. Thanks, Let me know when you want to come by. I think I want to frag my sarmentosa. Let me know if you are interested. What was you alkalinity? Do you Mix Kalk? Kalk was the eaysest way for me to keep mine around 12

  4. Yes I still have lots!! I can cut you fresh frags when you come over or sell you a colony if you would like. I have colonies that vary in size and price, from $25 to $75. Let me know when you want to come by

  6. I have been lazy on the iodine. maybe once a week but most likeley less. I never thought that iodine helped colors but I will try to get on a schedual. Does anyone think it is the lights? I always have great parameters and do 15% change weekly. PH is stable at about 8.2 and only dips to 8.0 to 8.1 at night. Any other ideas?? How often to you all dose iodine. my understanding is that a good skimmer will pull out Lugals fairly quickly

  7. Like everyone, I want my corals to have the best coloration possible. I have previously set up to maximize growth but I have noticed that my sps are not coloring in like they should. For example, my ORA purple plasma is more of a white color on the branches. The tips are crazy purple and I want the rest of the coral to color similarly. Polyp extention is excellent on the plasma as well as many other torts and acros. Basically, how should I adjust my lighting to increase color and not loose all my growth. This is how I have my fixture set up now. I will buy about 3 bulbs at a time.
