    Need a coral ID

    Hey, I just got a frag of this. It was sold to me as an LPS, but it seems almost like a horn or encrusting montipora. It does have largish polyps though that extend at night. The thing is absolutely gorgeous and the price was right. Any help/care advice would be appreciated. The closest thing...

    How much flow is too much flow?

    Hey, I have an NC24, and have a question about the flow. When I bought the tank, I got an extra heater and an extra PH maxi-jet 1200, due to my fear of one of them crap out on Christmas Eve and not being able to get a replacement. I recently got some hard to care for corals and want to...

    Temp. question

    I have a tempereature question for my 24G cube. With the lights on for about 10 hours, the temp settles at approx 80.5. My heater is set to 77, so it drops gradually to 77 over the next few hours. I know fluctuations are a bad thing, so should I keep my heater set to 80? I know 80 is a...
