Perhaps it's inflammatory to say this, but I am becoming of the opinion that this is a pointless thread. No not because of the MI still being on it, but because of the reasoning behind most of the...

Well, after another year my Moorish Idol is now 18 mos. in captivity. Still fat, still growing. But I must be an incredibly skilled reef keeper and he will die any day now regardless.

You can probably count on even growth in all directions. Mine started as a 1" frag and is now about the size and shape of a softball, maybe a bit bigger. It may be showing a slight tendency to...

I've kept a couple of colonies for a few years. They are quite tolerant of sub-optimal conditions, but of course will grow best with good light and flow. They are just not picky and always have...

I couldn't decide either, so I did both! I have the Tunze 2x6100 system and a CL with OM 4way and Sequence Stingray pump on a 135. And I don't think that it is overkill in any way. If you keep the...

I have a living room tank plumbed to a sump in the basement and have experimented with different sized return lines. I agree that you should go with the largest practical. 1" is minimum, but I now...

Well, I guess 'color' is kind of vague, but I see yellow finger porites, rarely, and then just brown 'christmas tree rock' (hmm, sounds like a cheesy holiday song). My yellow finger (cylindrica) is...

Oi! That's nice. I love porites, but see so few colored ones. Would it be inappropriate to ask when frags will be available? :D

yeah, the pics look pretty much like mine, except mine's coralites seem a bit longer. Perhaps it was grown in less light/current. Anyway, does no one have an idea what species it is? Anyone from...

Yup. Kept 3 tanks going for 24 hours in Isabel with ours. It in essence uses the cars motor and alternator as a generator. A bigger car or truck is better.
