Mine is also dark colored after over 3 months in tank. So should I throw it and replace with new pieces. Or just leave it and add new prices?

Did you acclimatize it?

Hi Sherman, Did the peroxide kill the algae? If so, then my guess is that the die-off of the algae created a massive bio-waste that caused your skimmer to go crazy and took days to clear from your tank. The bio-waste would also upset your water parameters, thus your corals, especially sensitive SPS, reacted to it negatively. Do a few large water change and I believe your LPS will be back to normal soon. Can't comment on SPS as I dunno much about them. Just my 2cts worth.

Just to share. 1st pic shows old pic of old 1ft tank, with lots of algae on the LR. Prior to migrating to new 2ft tank, I removed and scrubbed the LR, followed by soaking the entire LR in old tank water with H2O2 added, for several minutes. LR is then rinsed off, and soaked in tank water for an hour or so, before migrating corals n fishes. 2nd pic is new tank after 1 month. Still clear of algae, though tank going thru mini-cycle, thus having diatom. Coral health does not seem to be affected at all. (Pics show duncan n torch not doing well, but it was already not well before treatment, not because of H2O2 treatment) But I did lose a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp and Algae Blenny, maybe due to H2O2, maybe due to stress of migration, can't confirm. Above is just my experience. To try H2O2 or not, is up to individual's decision.

Guidance needed. New marine tank
DottyClown replied to expert's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Its useless worrying about pest in rocks. They could also be introduced when you put new pieces of corals into your tank. Unless you decided never to buy corals. Check out Pasar Malam site, sometimes reefers will let go their LR and some are confident its pest free. Get these, at least some assurance. Else like Turtle said, you could go for Dry/Dead rocks and cycle them long enough will become live Rocks. You dose Bacteria, but without LR the bacteria got no place to hide and multiply. They will just die off very quickly. Your sand/coral chips may not provide enough shelter to home sufficient bacteria. As for Algae, proper control of your water parameters will help. Also adding some snails, star fishes, herbivorous fishes will help take care of it. -
Guidance needed. New marine tank
DottyClown replied to expert's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Based on your described scenario, I would seriously plead you to return your fishes back to the LFS for holding. Meanwhile, make sure you have sufficient bio or mechanical filtration, and cycle your tank fully, before you re-introduce back the fishes one-by-one. Please do the right thing. Don't let the fishes die like this. -
Please let me know if Red Acans become available again. Tks.

Custom made IOS Tank with 3 chamber compartments. Dimension : 40cmW x 35cmH x 30cmD (includes 8cm for IOS) Had this tank for 1.5 years. Condition still very good at 9/10. Selling $100. Center glass comes with a black acrylic plate, with laser cut overflow slots and return piping hole. The acrylic plate provides a nice opaque black back-drop that gives a nice background when taking photos, and won't see the rear chambers.

Saw this poking out from a small hole in my LR. It retracts when I touch it with a stick. Aiptasia? Got this color meh?

Their "tentacles" will come out when you feed the tank. Helps to clear the uneaten food. But beware as they can multiply quite fast.
