And you thought reef tanks are peaceful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voOOU_FxwsE

Anyone know what these zoas/palys could be? #1 Orange palythoa The skirt has alternating bands of orange and translucent purple. And the mouth has a yellow border. The young polyps start out as drab purple. As they mature they gain more orange color throughout the disks and skirt. They also...

Has anyone run into this before? I have been using the Red Sea Reef Foundation test kit for many months now. I'm about to run out of reagents so I bought a new kit. I then tested my water using the two different kits to see if they provide similar readings (they should, right?) My tank...

I have had this chalice coral for over a year now. Although it has been growing, it has browned out and only the eyes retained the original color. This is a recent picture of the chalice. This is a picture of the chalice, taken around July 2012. It used to have a purple base with green...

This is what greeted me at breakfast time... It took me a few seconds to notice that the water level was too low. So I checked the sump and the return pump was quiet... too quiet. So I disconnected the return pump and took it out to inspect. Here's the sump - minus the return pump and other...

I guess playing Barry White CD's at night really works LOL. These were all over the tank, but the camera can only capture the ones reflecting the light from the flashlight. At first I thought it was just a mess of detritus being stirred up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM-BKQEj7N4...

While doing my random nighttime flashlight inspection of the tank, I saw one of the emerald mithrax crabs releasing larvae into the water. At first it was releasing several dozen babies each time it flapped the plate on its underside. By the time I got back with my camera, it was almost done and...

I feed my favia soaked pellets every now and then and it eats very slowly. I do this with all the pumps off except the return pump. This evening when I was feeding the favia, the cleaner shrimp hopped onto the favia and started grabbing the pellets from the favia. The shrimp then broke apart...

This video is over a month old, but still reflects the tank's current condition for the most part. I will post photo and video updates when the opportunity presents itself. I want to build this as an LPS/Soft coral tank. It is still lightly populated, but adding pieces here and there slowly...

I have this favia for almost 9 months now and I have been experimenting with different locations in the tank for optimal lighting for this coral. My lighting consists of three 120W dimmable LEDs. Blues are set to 40-45% and whites are at 10-15% (Analog dials so there may be some variances)...

Hello Everyone, I'm new to Socalireefs.com, but have been in the reef hobby for many years. Through the years, I have moved from 30g, to 55g, and now to a 100g tank. My focus is currently on LPS and soft corals. I may dabble into SPS eventually but would probably set up a specific tank for...
