I've had my Monster Mash for nearly a year and it hasn't grown a mm. If you have this piece and its growing well please tell me how much light your giving it? A lot, a lil, a tiny amount? Par meter readings are awesome. Mine is at 90 par.

I have to say I was a bit sceptical if the colors were true but I decided to take a chance with a vendor that was new to me.

HOLY crap! it came in this morning and is exactly as pictured. I'm a very happy camper. The packaging was done very well.

There is a lot more yellow in it but for some reason it doesn't show up in the pictures, I'll keep trying. Its between 1"1 and 12" across.

Truth or False? What else might we need to learn on this subject?

This is exactly what happened to me.... Has anyone else had a prob with their chalices receeding and dying after they switched to TM Bio actif Salt?

This is exactly what happened to me. I spent months trying to figure out what part of my water chemistry/lighting setup was causing the prob. Everything from carbon use to phosphate adsorbing media to photoperiod adjustment was tried. My ORP went down to 215 and would not go up. In the end, large water changes with a new salt ( esv b ionic ) started to fix the prob.

I just read a thread where someone using this salt had the same prob with their LPS corals. ]]> General LPS Discussion las http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/general-lps-discussion/47609-bio-actif-salt-chalices-receeding-dying.html Some shots of my LPS Collection.

At first I thought they where being stung. But it has happened to several and that idea is out. Then I thought my levels where off so I checked. Cal is 400 Alk is 9 ( moving it to 10 per advice from Ktar) Mag is 1350. All the levels seem ok and stay the same day after day. My only concern is the temp at night it goes from 77.8 to 80.1. Is that the reason? What should my ph be? Those are the last two ideas I have it could be. All my zoos are fine. It is just my chalices. I have done a medium size water change and put fresh carbon in. If anyone could please help me. It is so hard to see corals that you grow from tiny frags to small colonys die. I thought about breaking my tank down and giving the hobby up due to the dissappointment. Ant postive help or advice would really be a help.

I came home from the beach last night to this-


Normally the torches have their tentacles out at least 3 inches, but last night this one head had all it's tentacles pulled in and from the center, these hair-like strings where out about 3-4 inches. They fell off and floated away after 10-15 minutes.
All the LPS in the tank are very happy, and today seem fine, including the head that was acting weird last night.
