    Occ or Other

    Can mangroves be submerged?

    I have a few mangroves growing in the sumpy and was wondering if i could bring them im the main tank to add a cool element. The only issue i have is that the mangroves will be fully submerged if they are in my display. Has anyone had experience with mangroves?

    Does pulsing shorten lifespan?

    Over the past two years, the only pumps i had die on me were on wave action, the rest were slow ramp up and down(sine wave). Could this be a reason for shorter lifespan of pumps or just coincidence?

    Asterina stars and sps

    To increase biodiversity in my tank I bought some live rock, (more the better!) and I saw one of these buggers eating some coralline off of the live rock. My question is, do asterina starfish hurt or damage sps coral? My tank will be primarily acropora and sps and I wouldn’t like to take any...

    Crazy MH heat

    Hey reefers, I recently noticed that my metal halide is melting a crossbar on my tank. I have a t5/MH fixture with a small reflector centered over the tank. My question is, should I worry about the safety of my tank with this happening? Should I remove the crossbar from the tank? Thanks, Mat

    What is your dream fish?

    Seasonal SPS?

    Hey Marshians! Have any of y’all ever noticed seasonal growth patterns in your stony coral? Even with my parameters and temperature rock solid i have observed better growth during the spring and summer months, opposed to winter. Is it something to do with natural patterns such as seasonal...

    Slimy sps?

    Hello reefers! i recently picked up some cool sps at the frag swap yesterday, and my orange montipora digitata and elkhorn montipora are slimy and not extended.
