Wow - a lot of interest super fast. Really appreciate the community. Connected with @phc567 and will be coordinating with him to grab everything since he can also frag out the corals for folks.

Been at this hobby for almost 15 years and the current tank has gone sideways for the past few years. Looking to step away from the hobby for a while and want to start by getting rid of the livestock. Current fish: - ~3" Tomini Tang - ~2" Biota Mandarin (No clue if it will eat anything besides...

Most likely purple Stylo then.

Eh could be pocillopora. Is it all purple? Or does the skin/polyp have a green hue?

This. I have one in my tank and it self fragged multiple times. It's really pretty looking. But can spread.

You generally want a pre filter to help stop the clogging. Otherwise the sponges end up just being your mechanical filtration and clog up like any other sponge/sock. I used a BRS reactor in the past. Have a TLF one now. I usually just put carbon in a bag though.

Quick shot without filters -- opening up already

I don't think you will meet many people who have been in the hobby long term and not gone through similar issues. Everything you have had happen in this thread, I have had happen too. If that makes you feel better. :) Really just takes long term patience. I've been at this for about 10...

Nice looking chalice!

Could you elaborate? I'd say it's normal, but normal is based on my other jebao power heads. It's the same thing. The power cord does have a suction cup on it which is nice for holding it in place to route the cord along the top of the tank. And it prevents it from tugging on, and moving, the...

I'll also add this here. I got a jebao MLW-30 the other day and then ordered a second. Just got that one so now I'm running two of these for flow - really like them so far. Really nice broad pattern and the new wifi controller gives some more control over things. And they are dead silent with...

Welcome to the learning curve :) I don't actually think they eat digis? They for sure wiped out my plating montis, and spongodes. You will see the tissue die off like something is quite literally starting on one side and eating its way across. Keep an eye on the tank after lights out. What...

With plating montis - I always always A L W A Y S scrub the underside of new frags with a toothbrush. You want to get the eggs - which won't die from dips. I had these things decimate my tank once upon a time. And even somewhat recently, I picked up a frag from someone with a successful...

Christmas time Hit up the live sale on Friday + ebay auctions that ended over the weekend. Targeted a bunch of budget frags and came out with a pretty good haul -- lots of stuff in the $10-15 range. SPS: - Green apple Hirsuta Montipora - WWC Bikini Navini Acro - Banana Table Acro - WWC...
