I just finished breaking down my 72 reef and found a home for everything but the sand. Priced to sell. Perfect for a new setup at half the price. PM me.

ok, this one is new to me. I had a large cyanobacteria outbreak because i let my water change cycle laps a little. Did a 30% water change early this afternoon and now the water is red. All life in the tank does not seem to be affected at all, the temp is 75F pH is 8.26 salinity is 1.022. Is this...

I just replaced the bulbs in my Current Sunpod 500w MH fixture and ever since my Acro's have not been happy. The bulbs are two 250w 14k MH's (same as before) hanging over a 72 bow. The old bulbs were something like 2 years old and there is an obvious change in visible temperature between the new...

Ok, so probably a dumb question but I wanted to ask anyways. As long as there is no de-ionization chamber in a Kent, Coralife, etc... RO system I can use it for drinking water as well as fish tank water right?

Last evening I came home to find this little guy crawling on my front glass. I did a little googling and have my assumptions on what it could be but wanted to get a second opinion. It is no longer than 1/8 to 1/4 inch long, extremely white in color, and very slow moving. The last addition to...

So I have to tear down my 36 reef and combine it with my 72 FOWLR. The 72 will become a reef so it will undergo extensive rock work changes. Problem is, among other fish, there is an established Ocellaris pair in each tank (not to much of a size difference and no Anemones involved). What are the...

I originally purchased 3 female yellow Reidi's from my LFS 8 months ago. Two were not in the best shape and my attempt to nurse them back to health were unsuccessfull. The third one however is doing GREAT! So the problem is hard times has caused me to take down one of my reefs and combine it...

I need to get rid of my Nano. I replaced it with a larger tank and have no room for it. It is a Nano deluxe with stand, heater, original 3 sponges, pump, timer, and 6 outlet surge protector. Their is only one 24 watt 50/50 bulb in the fixture so to get the full 48 watts you need to buy a 24 watt...

In my 72 reef i have several fish to include a blue hippo tang. I recently added some new fish, all of which were rejected by the current inhabitants. One of the new fish was a small pygmy angel that the hippo especially did not like. He hunted the pygmy through open water and live rock crevices...

I hear clicking in my 72g FOWLR, usually after the lights go out, but I have not seen any shrimp only a fuzzy crab that hitchhiked on the live rock. What is the best way to determine what is in there? How do I entice what ever is making the noises (presumably a shrimp of some kind, or is it?)...

I purchased a feather duster from saltwaterfish.com along with a coral banded shrimp and a sally lighfoot crab. The tube of the feather duster appears to be deteriorating in the middle section. I put the duster between 2 rocks, he has been wide open since I put him in the tank and I have not...

My Red Sea Star, Fromia milleporella I think, has been losing his legs since I put him in my 40g seahorse/invert tank. I have seen sea stars legs deteriorate like his and then grow back after a little while, but his are not growing back. It started with 1 leg then 2 and now 3. None of the legs...

My Naso Tang is sick...again... He had pop eye 1 month ago that I cured and he fully recovered from. Now he has what I believe to be velvet. 1 week ago I saw what looked like early signs of ich but that disappeared. Yesterday he was breathing heavily and had irregular brown marks on his face...

I am currently feeding my 2 yellow Reidi's a mix of frozen Hikari Mysis and Brine shrimp 2 to 3 times daily, but I am concerned about their nutrient uptake. Is this adequate feeding? Can anyone suggest anything else to feed? Thanks Karl

I have had a Naso Tang for about a month now. He is doing well and seems to be in good health except for his left eye has become cloudy over the past few days. I have been doing 5g water changes every 3 days hoping that would help but it doesn't seem to be getting better or worse. No other fish...

Between adding macro from "The Reef Tank" and my little sisters inability to maintain her tank I have quite an abundance of Aiptasia anemones in a 29 reef. I have used Stop Aiptasia that seems to work however it must be applied to each individual animal and they must be big enough to impale with...

I recently acquired a 6.5" to 7" long (the shell from tip to tip) tulip snail. The snail is healthy and active but he is spitting water all over my furniture and needs to go. If anyone is interested in trading for anything i would prefer that, but like I said he must go so a good home is better...

Anyone had one? I set up a 12NanoCube using sand, rock, and corals from my 30g. I am now stuck with the task of finding appropriate fish for this size tank and would like to finally by something really nice. Liveaquaria.com wants $150 for one and I would like to know what anyones experience with...

Is it ok to use concrete for the construction of the pond and not line it with anything? If so, is there certain types of concrete I should stay away from or types I should use?? I'm putting a small 100g pond in an old filled in well and the edges are jagged rock that I'm going to smooth out...

Can anyone explain to me why Acanthastrea costs so much!? From what I have read so far I cant find a good reason for it to be so expensive. Its very hardy, grows well, doesn't come from deep water or exclusively from protected waters. It seems like if you were to get your hands on one colorful...

I've had a 30xh reef set up for about 2 years now. In the tank their is a DSB of about 6.5 to 7 inches and about 5 to 6 inches in 20g refuguim. After about 3 months from setting up the tank I have never registered any nitrates in the tank and I have used several different test kits. However I...

I bought a pair of "Clarkii" clowns several years ago but I don't think thats what they are. They had, but then lost, the white stripe at the base of their tail and now have white highlights at the tips of their tails. I think they might be Bicinctus clowns but I'm not sure. Any ideas?? Thanks...

I have a Fu-Manchu lionfish that has not eaten since I added him to the tank. That was about 2 weeks ago! I have tried live feeders, frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp, Vibro-Grow pellets, and various other prepared saltwater foods. Their are two medium sized tomato clowns in the same tank...

I recently saw a post about a coral show taking place in Kensington MD tommarow and I can't find it again. I really want to go but I have no info. Can anyone please help?? Thanks, Karl
