    I finally got a background. It's reversible so if i get tired of the black, I can change it to blue. Everyone went into the tank great. The guy I bought the polyps from is a great guy. He gave me a little rock w/ 3-4 polyps on it, 2 mushrooms and some red thing lol. There was also a little star...

    Maybe thinking of starting a FOWLR...

    You can look at my Build Thread. I started out FW then converted over to SW. I used my HOB filter for a while and it worked out fine but eventually you will want to go with a sump and overflow system. You would need a powerhead. I went a good bit without a Protein Skimmer till I found a good...

    Update: Brought a water sample to the LFS and they said My nitrites are low and my nitrates are good. I think my test kit may be malfunctioning or something. They also said my Salinity was low @ 1.016, which I was very surprised because last time I checked it, it was 1.023. So I got more salt...

    Well a little update.... I did 5 days of the Instant Ocean pills and his color was coming back and looking good again. The damage behind the fin seems to not be going away but is looking better.

My son loves Toy Story and they...

    55 gallon FOWLR Build converted from FW

    Well I'm moving sometime next week and get to break the tank down and clean it really well. I found a few tips/techniques on how to move it and all. Any suggestions? Since I have this Cyno Slime outbreak, what could I do about it? Can I take the rock and lightly scrub the cyno or what? From what...
