So I had the weekend off so I figured it would get my sump hooked up. The sump worked beautifully and before I went to bed the new skimmer was pulling skimmate. I woke up this morning and my yellow tang and purple firefish were dead. My other fish all looked ill as well. My clownfish was on...

So I ended up buying an SWC Xtreme 160 skimmer for my sump and I am having a hard time getting it working. It came with no instructions, just a picture of what it should look like once set up. I put it in a tub with about 9 inches of water to test it out. It turns on and fills with water but...

I have a 75 gallon reef tank and I am considering building a basic sump/refugium for the tank. I am completely new to this concept so I was hoping if I posted what my basic plan is those of you with more experience could let me know what I'm missing or what I have completely wrong. I'm going...

I have a 75 gallon reef tank that has been up and running for about two years that I'm feeling is in need of a overhaul. Overall the tank has been doing well so far with very little in the way of losses of livestock. I have however been battling nitrates recently. I've cut feedings to every...

So I recently got my hands on a bunch of live rock from a friend who was selling her tank. It's pretty much all covered in mushrooms and I'm wanting to move my torch coral and frogspawn out of the substrate and up on the rocks since almost all of my corals are in the substrate and the rocks are...

So I just got a bunch of live rock from a friend that was selling her tank. She seemed to be obsessed with mushrooms and nearly every rock I got from her is covered in them. I've had trouble finding a place on the internet that I can use to identify different mushroom types so I'm going to...

So I noticed a small creature on the glass of my aquarium about a week ago that keeps crawling around. I check on it every day and it never moves more than three or four inches from day to day. I do have three astrea snails in the tank and it does look like it could possibly be some sort of...

So I have a finger leather that has been in my aquarium since late December. I'm somewhat new to corals and it was one of the first corals I added. Every day when the lights come on it grows to a huge size about ten inches wide and eight tall and looks quite happy. Recently I have noticed a...

So I've had a Blue spotted Jawfish in my tank for nearly a year now and he is by far my favorite fish, Jawfish just seem to have so much personality. He's finally gotten to the point that he'll leave his burrow for hours on end and explore the whole tank, probably because he's collected all of...

Ok, so I have done a couple of water changes since the last time I posted and Nitrates look to be about zero (API test kit isn't the easiest to read) I went to my LFS and checked out what they had and did some talking and they owner said in his opinion of what he had there the green open...

So I have a 75 gallon FOWLR tank that has been set up since last spring. I'm currently wanting to get it set up so it can handle some corals. It is fairly heavily stocked and I don't want to turn it into a full blown reef tank, pretty much just enough to make it a little more colorful...

So I bought some new live rock today and had a crab sneak home that I can't identify. I managed to catch him and put him in my quarantine tank to keep him away from everything else until I can figure out what he is. This is my first attempt to put a picture in a post, but can anyone tell me...

So I have a handful of scarlet hermit crabs in my 75g along with some other types of hermits. A few days ago I spotted one and noticed that his legs had faded to almost orange. I was just looking around in my tank and tracked down the other scarlet hermits and noticed that all of them had...

Hi all, so I am trying to figure out what the heck is going on in my 12 gallon. About a month ago I was taking a look at some fish in Petco (a place I usually try to avoid) and noticed a Coral Beauty that had horrible HLLE, his entire face had lost it's color and I thought I remembered seeing...

I have a fire shrimp in my 75 gallon and he has quickly become my favorite inhabitant to watch. I've come to think that shrimp are a lot more interesting to watch than fish so I'm wanting to try to slowly add some other species of shrimp but want to make sure that everything will be compatible...

So I've had my fire shrimp for a few months and thus far he has looked extremely healthy and is comically energetic during feedings. I want to get an iodine supplement to help make sure he stays healthy during molts but the only thing I can find at my LFS is Iodide, does that have the same...

I was curious if there was anyone out there that had some extra asterina starfish they wanted to get rid of? I'd be more than happy to pay shipping to Nebraska. 75g 50 pounds of live rock (more being cured) Emperor 400 filter Airstones Koralia power head Yellow Tang Blue Regal Tang (Juvenile...

Well I've had 12g and 75g FOWLR systems running for about six months now. I've been doing most everything on my own with a little bit of internet research and figured it was about time I started getting direct advice when I need it instead of spending all of my time on google. My setup is...
