48" T5ho 10k 54w, and actinic. Is that sufficient lighting?

Hi again all. So I added a 55g salt to my tank load and of course had to get new sand and rock to compensate. There appear to be some coral things glued to the rock. Can anyone give me some info? My main question is, if a coral breaks off, or is broken off from the main body, does it live and...

He brown is diatom alfae. Clears up by itself in a fully cycled tank that doesnt have too much nutrients in the water.

I use the coralife super skimmer 65, and the only issue u have us that the air tube clogs occasionally with salt fir some reason. Otherwise it works fantastically in my 65g.

This butterfly fish resembles a spotfin but has no spot... 4" in size. Anyone? This one pretty much freaked me out. Tiny yellow and black strings stretched out from cracks in the rock, no idea what they are. Then they banded together and crawled like a worm across the rock. Never seen...

The pump is under the lr rubble, to pull the water down through it and push it back up as well. No stagnant areas.

This is my sump refugium. I have no clue what im doing, so I will describe what I did and hope that someone can tell me good or bad. On the left is the inlet compartment, with pump, skimmer, and main tank inlet, as well as a bunch of live rock rubble. In the middle is a deep sand bed...

Aesthetics With this much life rock, and the dimensions of my tank, it is hugely cluttered. I want to open it up some, while keeping good filtration. I have an hob, canister, and the live rock currently. The canister is new, so I am cycling it in a different tank.

Hi again! So in my 65g tank I have 110lbs of lr. I just purchased a canister filter and would like to fill it with bio balls. If I do this, can I take out some of the live rock? Anyone know the ratio? 100 1.25" bioballs

Hi again all! Got more nice live rock, this time with some obvious residents...but being new, I can't tell what kind they are. Anyone throw me an identification lifeline?

Anyone know what this is on the back of my tuxedo urchin?

Hi all. I hope this post is in the right place, as I was unable to find a thread that was closer to what I am concerned about. So my 65g tank is very nice, but I want to add some corals or other interesting things in the near future. I have a few lingering aiptasia however, and I am...

I don't have actinics. That was regular room light. This is my 10gallon holding tank. Have 2 clowns and live rock and sand. That's all. Will majano sting/hurt my clowns? I've heard that they don't get hurt much by anemones what with living in them and all. If not, aside from massive...

This guy came with a tony bit of live rock. Is it a juvenile long tentacled anemone?

I have some things growing in my tank and I would like to know if they are good bad or just what they are. Please see below
