My BullDog and SPS

Just curious if anyone else happens to have a fish, in my case a Regal Tang, that runs into their SPS and breaks of branches. Just watched mine race to his hole and blast into a digi. Hey, I guess...

If you have SPS, be careful. I would always seem to lose fresh buds or the tips off of my acros. Great for algae, but they get too big.

The skimmer upgrade sounds like a good start, although mine is quite low end and it seems to be working well. Changing your substrate to something like Seaflor Special Grade Reef Sand also should...

That branch you see going into the rock is the main stalk. But I see what you're talking about in terms of cutting the coral tissue and all. When I purchased the coral, the tissue was just at the end...

The rock is too big to move. I'm more apt to let things be. It's only a 55 gal tank. The best solution would be to get a bigger tank. The odd thing about this is that both frogspawns have the same...

It needs to acclimate to it's new lighting. It may have come from a dimmer tank. You're right about the yellow leathers, they generally prefer high light. I have mine at the very top of my 55 under...
