Re: A beginner's guide to marine aquariums
Looking for some colourful fish, anemones, and corals for my 76gal tank (100cmx45cmx45cm). Specifically interested in clown fish and damsels. Would be great if someone could give me a list of options that won't break the bank.
Honestly, I highly doubt it. The Mandarin fish is a specialized ...

Yes, 3 common Clownfish would be fine, assuming you're referring to ...

Re: A beginner's guide to marine aquariums
I'll give you a few examples of fish that would work in a 76g. Keep in mind, you'll need to research each one since some can't be kept together and some will eat inverts or coflake.
For Angelfish, consider:
- Indkento4 Yellowtail, they're pretty common
- Cherub Angelfish, nice and small
- Bicolor ...

Re: seeking recommendations
In the UK, a 55g tank is actually equivalent to nearly 70 US gallons, so the space issue isn't the same when comparing the two.

A peaceful, small fish that's easy on the eyes. I've had one for a while, no issues. Photograph provided by 'Happy George' - thanks for that, by the way.
Here's a brief rundown on their care requirements:
- Tank size: 30 gallons minimum
- Water parameters: standard for most ...

Re: Raising plate coral babies: next steps
You'll notice that when there are so many babies on one skeleton, they start to become misshaped and fuse together as they grow. It's not yet feasible to try dislodging them, given their current size. However, as they get larger and start competing for space, you can test some of the bigger ones ...

Re: Raising plate coral babies: next steps
Thanks for sharing your experience Somosomo, I really appreciate it. I'm curious, did you ever target feed the babies as they grew? Now that I've relocated the skeleton to the frag section, monitoring them is much easier. I decided to try feeding them Reef Roids this afternoon and I was pleased to ...

Re: Raising plate coral babies: next steps
I appreciate everyone's input on this. After the plate coral died in late September, I moved the skeleton to the back of the tank, figuring this might happen. We first noticed the "buds" about 30 days later, but weren't sure what they were. About 30 days ago, we were pretty sure they were babies, so ...

Raising plate coral babies: next steps
We recently had a plate coral kick the bucket in September due to a kalk mishap, but the skeleton's now teeming with babies - I'd say 50-60+?. On one side, it's like a coral baby boom, with them growing on top of each other (check the pic below). I've got a couple of questions:
1) Should we thin out ...

Re: Growing symphyllia successfully
We've had a great experience with our Symphyllia, a large one at 10-12 inches, and it's proven to be very hardy. A few accidental frags were created when moving it, and those have done well too - they've been sold and the buyers have reported back with positive updates. Based on this limited ...
