    SPS: A few sticks for sale

    My tank is in a very happy place right now with good color and growth. I have trimmed to make some frags available. Some of the frags are chunky and encrusted and some are small, the pictures should make it clear which is which. All frags have been cut a minimum of two weeks ago. Shipping for...

    Alk is high but calcium not dropping

    I thought if you overdosed CA and alk that you are going to end up with some precipitate. I don't think they can both stay in solution. However, test kits are often not as accurate or precise as we would want. And they are finicky in that they are also highly dependent on user being...

    Why are so many LFS closing? Is the hobby shrinking?

    I don't really know the business of LFS. I presume that competition is incredibly intense for both dry goods and equipment from online vendors with slim margins. Brick and mortar have significant labor and rent costs. In terms of live critters, often more exotic critters are available online...

    Ever since I got rid of my angel fish, polyp extension is really great. I didn't quite figure out the brightness or exposure on this picture, but at least you can see a very happy oregon tort. Nice polyp extension and brighter blue growing tips on the larger branches Oregon Tort

    Photoshop or real

    I think it depends from whom you buy from. Each online vendor is different but if it looks fake then it probably is. Hobbyists who run online sales run the gambit on accurate colors. I take pictures of my coral all the time because I enjoy it so much. Some pictures are spot on and some I...

    Species identification is way over my pay grade. Just haven't paid enough attention over the years to memorize that info. The tips of this coral are rounded similar to many granulosa, the tips are not all that long or thick. The colony seems to table. I don't understand the specific identifying...

    Our Dead Coral Skeletons - Phoenix Effect

    I don't recall ever having an acro skeleton coming back to life but I have had polyps return to my rock months to years later. I have found Monti's that I have cut out, epoxied over, coralline algae covering the rock and bam a year later new polyps. Sometimes you can't keep them alive and other...

    I have never seen an acro with this long of white growth tips. The growth tips almost an inch long or so are actually an ice blue color with a hint of purple/mauve in them. Pretty crazy TGC (ReefRaft Asia) Inferno

    Thanks. I must have bought 5 or 6 different frags of the pink lemonade over the years and never had one look right until now. I presume that there are so many either morphs or knockoffs of it. I had a vision of what I thought it should look like and finally the above frag grew out well. And...
