I am going from my current 36" 65G reef which has been up for a year to a half to a 96" 240G reef. You guys warned me I would outgrow the 65G but I wouldn't listen, 65 is a lot of gallons right? RIGHT? :lol: Anyway, I have decided that I want this tank to have lots of anthias which I have not...

So, I was in the my LFS last week and saw one of these beautiful fish. I always liked the colors of anthias but they always seemed to slender and delicate looking for my tastes. This one has colors that are just as vibrant but with its sea bass type shape is far more to my liking. In any...

So, I am about to start my ich treatment and thus have been reading up how its done. I have two hospital tanks set up, a 15 gallon for my tang and one or two small friends and a 10 galon for everyone else. Whole reading it was stated that I should try to introduce infected fish rapidly into...

Well, it was a great 7 month honeymoon period with my PBT, but what many had been telling me was inevitable since I got him finally happened, he came down with ick... So, it is time to start thinking about treatment. Here are my current fish. 1 Talbot Damsel 1 Red One Spot Damsel 1 Midas...

Will a frogspawn sting a frogspawn? A hammer a hammer? I know acans won't sting another acan no matter how different, is this the same with other corals?

So, I had thought my brand new Argi Dwarf Angel had died somewhere. This had disappointed me because I had got him acclimated and eating and then one day *poof* nowhere to be scene. Moved around the live rock, looked around the tank stand, and checked the overflow. Well today on a whim I...

So, for those of you who care to know why I have the option of restocking look here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f11/disaster-everything-is-dead-help-114219.html Its been a day since that experiance and in an effort to cheer me up my friends began getting me to talk about what I...

Well, not everything. So, I wake up on this fine morning, put on my uniform and head out for the day with the sun not even up yet. Upon walking past my darkened aquarium I notice there is some hazyness to the glass. I walk up to inspect and I can feel the heat radiating from the tank. I flip...

Hey guys, I have been running my Nova Extreme Pro T5 36" 6x39w fixture for six months now with the stock bulbs. I think it is past due for a bulb replacement/upgrade. Over at Reef Central I was recommended these bulbs: ATI Blue Plus UVL 75/25 ATI Blue Plus GE 6500K ATI Aquablue ATI Blue Plus...

Alright guys, some of this stuff is "new" vice NEW because I lost my link cord, but someone finally let me borrow theres! So, fish first: Powder Blue Tang Size: 4" Aquired: October Source: LFS Yellow Eye Kole Tang Size: 2" Aquired: November Source: LFS Ocellaris Clowns (tank...

Nova Extreme Pro T5 - Three 39 Watt SlimPaq 10K and three 39 Watt 460nm Actinic lamps. I read through a couple lights and they said 10K bulbs were not optimal but should work, how about some trusted opinions :)

So, this is my second attempt at keeping this fish. The first time I got a small one (1") and he made a burrow and I never saw him again. Never came out for feeding, never took the food I left in from of his burrow. After a week I declared him KIA, my first fish loss. :( Last week I decided to...

So I have a bunch of corals and for the past week I have been trying to secure them to the rock. My LFS doesn't have any glue in the store, but told me any gel type super glue should work. Unfortunetly, what I bought didn't, so is there any particular brand or type of glue I should be looking...

So I decided to take advantage of the crazy online holiday specials and bought some corals. I got four different zoas, a duncan, a chalice, a brain and the subject of this thread, a sun coral. Now I hadn't originally intended to get the sun coral, but I needed to bump up my order about 20...

...Blue Jaw Trigger. From other sites and online vendors it seems like it is reef safe with maybe a little trouble with shrimp. Anyone have any experiace with this fish. I had originally meant to replace the PBT with a Kole, whith both being in the tank now. As soon as the PBT gets to big I...

So, When I look at the tank showcase forums at the beautiful pictures of some of our member's developed reef setups I notice large full corals, some with great patters like brains and favias, usually consisting of a large bulbous/round colony. THEN I go look at the various online vendors...

Hello, As some of you may remember from other threads I have a short timeframe for my tank. I am in the Navy and have to go back to sea duty in a year and a half at which time I won't be able to maintain a tank. I know this is a long term hobby but I have always wanted to get into it and so I...

This is sort of a newbie question so i am putting it in the newbie forum ;) I currently have a 65gal tank with the specifics noted in my sig, it has been running for four months and this is what I have for a CUC: 10 Astraea snails 10 nassarius snails 2 Emerald Crabs 2 Electric Blue Hermits...

Right now I have two, a branching frogspawn and a plate coral. I know the plate coral is photosynthetic so thats an easy one, but the frogspawn is a filter feeder apparently. Currently I use Cyclop-eeze (frozen) and I mix it with tank water in a syringe and just push the food straight into...

...or is it a once you have it you've got it? I am about to quarantine a fish that I think might be showing signs of it, has a few white specks on its tail fins. I ask because the fish is healthy and strong, eats like a horse. I would imagine an otherwise healthy fish could fend off such an...

Hey guys, just some pics of my first corals. I have had the frogspawn for about two weeks, and I just got the long tenticle plate coral this past Monday. I am really excited and happy about the results. The Frogspawn is very large, about six inches across and six high with 17 different...

Alright, I went through an algea bloom, it happens so deal with it right? Well, I did that by cutting the lighting time in half, cutting my feeding down to every third day and doing a 25% water change every weekday as well as siphoning off everything I could during the PWC. After two weeks no...

Hey all, I am thinking about getting a Yellow Eyed Kole instead of the Chevron Tang I was originally planning on, primarily because I can't find any Chevron Tangs. Now, my previously concieved stocking plan has been thrown out of wack because I found an awesome LFS sale that let me get a...

How do you tell if a snail is dead? I have some rather large turbo snails, an inch and a half in diameter, and they haven't moved in a few days. I pulled them out thinking I was playing coroner because I don't want them decomposing in the water and all of them are locked up tight. Previously...

Alright, I am about ready to go for my first coral, but I am pretty sure that I will require suplements but I am not sure which ones and from who. From reading it looks like I will need: Strontium Calcium Magnesium Any others? Also, what specific manufacturers do you guys use. I would like...
