[AnemicOak]

In the mean time, does anybody know an alternative source of live zooplankton and phytoplankton for reef animals?

What about this stuff?

It looks to be Caulerpa, a macroalgae.

WOW Lighting Requirement Affordable

WOW Lighting Requirement Affordable

As a newbie, I have been searching everywhere for info to determine the lighting requirements for my 75g. I am so impressed with your tank. It's just awesome.

You inspire me. That's what I want. Have any extra frags?

I visited the Tank of the Month site and printed out your requirements. I will follow them as a guide.

I am two months into this hobby. I had a FO tank for over five years.

Just at a loss for words to describe your tank. Keep inspiring the rest of the newbies.

Archie, my name is Fernando Chang and I live in Panama (Republic of Panama). Your aquarium is absolutely beautiful !!!
I need yr help how to feed the soft corals such as the Colt, Kenya tree, mushrooms, etc.. There is a lack of product in Panama. I only can obtain some Kent products in town such as the phytoplankton liquid and Chromoplex liquid. and I wonder if these products are okay to feed the soft corals.
I thank you in advance yr attention and prompt reply.

Regards

Parasite on blenny?

Parasite on blenny?

Archie's picture of his blenny seems to show something in the blennie's mouth. It lacks pigmentation and could possibly be a parasite.
