[Peter, That Pink A. mille I got from you has taken off recently. All new tips and encrusting edges are bright blue. The new growth colors up to the original pink and it looks great. Just wondering if you had seen this shift in yours? I believe all the tips where white or light pink when I got...

[Are there any of you folks out there that have switched from the 250w Coralvue (I'm using 10k atm) to XM?? I've been told the PAR is greater and the color is about the same. Is this true from any of your experiences? I've read several spectrum articles and posts by Sanjay, but I'm really...

[I was trying to describe this coral today. So, I decided to mess with a pic in photoshop to get it as close as I could to the real color. The picture is still a little washed out. The base is a deep burgandy brown. The new growth is a pale purple and all the polyps are a bright kelly/grass...

[These are two frags of A. millepora that I recieved from Nathan before he moved. Today I was over at Peterlin's and he had the frags of the same exact coral. Peter's look like normal A. milleporas. Mine on the other hand look like a couple of "Sigmund the Sea Monsters". What do you guys make...

[This brought back some bad memories about a certain football game between my Red Raiders and another Texas team. :p It pains me to say it, but I guess you gotta.... HOOK'EM!!]

[I'm sure this has not been the first one of these polls. But, I've noticed several people going over to bare bottoms and wanted to see how it's panning out across the membership. This same poll a year ago would look veeeery different, wouldn't you agree? PS. This is not to start a debate...

[I posted this over in the RC SPS boards. But, would like to give it a go here as well. Let me know what you guys make of it.... I have two Acropora frags that are healthy and growing that I've had for about a month now. One is a stag and the other has a more "Nana" type growth. I have several...

[I just put some of my corals up on Frags.org to hold the pics and see what the interest level might be on my two larger colonies and my newest JEWEL! I won't be fragging these for at least a couple of months longer. But, just wanted to share with you guys. When I do frag these in the future I...

[The storms that blew through Saturday morning knocked over a tree in our neighborhood. This tree landed on a pole and snapped it off along with all the electrical wires attached!! I was on my way to Sherman when all this happened when the wife called. I had been trying to figure out a game...

[Just wondering what others do for backup when the electricity goes out? Just getting worried with this new setup and all the rain we've been having. It could be a wet winter as well....who knows. What do you have? What does it run? How much and where did you get it? How long will it last with...

[From a discussion earlier that I pretty much hijacked I decided to start a new thread about a remedy to bubbles in my tank. I saw the video of a tower with LR that Marc had created on his website that seemed to work well. But, last night at the meeting he stated he had a couple of other ideas...

[I'm installing some fans in my hood and was wanting to cover the intake holes on the top of my hood with plastic vent covers. Does anyone know where I could find these locally? The fans are 4x4 IceCap (thanks Jedi Hill). I was wanting to keep the hole to roughly that and not much bigger. Any...

[When I got home last night from the meeting I decided to upload some shots of the tank I've been working on and update my pics. I had a couple of dicussions about it and thought I would show yall what I've done so far. The pics are located on Reefcentral.com so I won't link. But, here is the...

[I hooked up my old 3" computer fans over my sump over the weekend and one is gone kapoot and the other cavetates alot more than I like. Pretty much ran them into the ground and the salt ate them up pretty bad on my old system. So, I was looking to DIY some new ones. My only question is, can I...
