With the frag swap just around the corner I thought it would be a good time to bring up coral pest prevention. The first swap I went to a few years ago I came home with some nice frags and also Zoanthind eating nudis and Red bugs. I would like to know what everyone's technique and preferred dips...

I bought a zoa rock yesterday at the LFS. It had what I - and the LFS - assumed to be a couple mushrooms attached. They were folded over onto themselves so I figured they were just stressed from moving tanks and I didn't really care if they lived or died (I was buying the zoas, not the mushrooms...

It looks like I'm losing one of my favorite corals. I discovered STN on a blue tort last week and it's progressively getting worse. I think it's going to be gone in a few days. As a last ditch, I'm going to frag it and see if I can save it. My fear is that I'm now seeing it on 2 other corals...

I have two differant brain corals that starting losing tissue. The other side of the coral looks great opened up nice and the other side looks like something took a bite out of it. Any ideas??

I was thinking of switching to RC from Salinity. So I inquired what the levels were in the salt like Aquavitro has on the side of the bucket. I emailed IO and here was their response. Does anyone know or have tested this salt? Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

I was starting a siphon on my tank for a water change it only took one sec i pop back up to start the cleaning and there it is a newly acquired hammer coral frag jammed into the tube, it ripped one head off. and the other two look bad. anyone know if this is survivable? -Ward

Greetings All, I'll be getting my first lighting soon that could actually support coral growth and I'm asking for recommendations for some easier to care for first corals. I know, there are many options online, but I thought I'd ask here to get some local opinions. I want to make sure that...

Was poking around on RC and found a thread where they were discussing a new dip that claims to be able to kill eggs of AEFW as well as other pests. This would be awesome if true. Here is a link to the web page for the dip. I am skeptical at best, but am hoping that it might be possible. Just...

I usually dip every single frag or coral I purchase twice, one dip in Coral Rx, and one dip in a Lugols solution. Well, starting about 3 months ago, when I ran out of Lugols, I went down to just the one dip approach. I knew it was risky (mainly with red bugs), and have been contemplating...

I got a lobo brain about a month back as a distressed coral for $20. I had been keeping an eye on it when i went into the store and it was coming back so i figured what the heck its $20. I trimmed off an algea portion of the skeleton when i got it home, did a dip in coral rx, then another in...

In the past couple years, I have gotten pretty confidant in my ability to grow and sustain SPS in my system. I am getting ready to take the plunge, once more, on a larger level than in the past this year. So far I have been lucky, but am not going to take my chances this time around. I have...

Well, I just lost an awesome acan colony to some kinda white mold like growth. Now, it is starting to eat away at a sunset monti i picked up. It also has been all over my flames of hell frag too but it cannot overtake it. I thought for a long time my sailfin was to blame for picking at the...

So I was just curious, when you have zoos that have been in the same location and all of a sudden seem to brown out for no reason, why would that be? the polyps are still opening, just the color is much more brown than usual. Also, in a case of where a zoo or paly needs more light, and is brown...

Well I just noticed them on the montipora caps in my tanks not a lot of them not really any bad effects, but I want to get rid of them. First question is has anybody had them second is does anybody have any interceptor medication for them. Third is there anything that eats them. From what I...

Hey guys, so I'm new to this site and I have a 29G BioCube HQI (I will post some pics up here shortly) and I am looking into getting some SPS coral.. I have around 12 different types of LPS in my tank and all are doing amazingly, LPS really seems to grow well in my tank. I really want to make...

Can Coral RX go bad and lose its "sting" for monti eating nudibranchs over time?
