Hello All, It's been awhile since I took down my freshwater tanks as I am trying my hand at saltwater. My daughter is going to be setting up my freshwater tank (AGA 29 gallon) this weekend. She will have a typical community tank with fancy tail guppies, neon tetras, angel fish, etc. I'm...

Experimenting with the camera.

I've had these yellow polyps for 2 weeks. The ones that are closed are always closed. They swell and look like they are going to burst-but they never open. Sometimes they swell at the bottom. Sometimes at the top. Are these new polyps that are still forming and will open someday? Or...

I want to set up a top-off tank to keep the water level in my sump consistent. I have the float and the 1/4" tubing. I cannot find a bulkhead connector for the top-off tank. Does anyone know where I can get a bulkhead connector for 1/4" compression fit tubing? Thanks, Rick

Is there a book, website, or forum that lists the phonic pronunciations to many of the words in the reef/saltwater hobby? There are a lot of new words to learn and I would like to know how to pronounce them correctly. Thanks, Rick

New tank and rock. Day 4. These brownish-orange guys are showing up on 3 different rocks. What are they and good/bad/etc.? And the other picture is a white guy that looks kind of like a corrugated lamp shade. He is deep inside a valley in a rock. Thanks

I've had freshwater aquariums for years. This is my first venture into saltwater. 90 gallon AGA. 133lbs of Live Rock. Day 2. I'm really looking forward to "watching it grow."

How do I get a picture from my gallery to appear in a regular post?

I am looking for a book that would give me photo and a description of the characteristics of each of the most popular/common saltwater fish, corals, inverts, etc. I like the section in the Dr.s Foster and Smith catalog, but it doesn't list enough. Is there one book out there that is the...

When I cleaned the glass of my new (used) tank I noticed some scratches. Will small scratches become unnoticeable when I fill the tank with water? If not, is there a way to remove them before I fill the tank? Thanks

Hello again everyone. I bought my first saltwater tank this weekend! It’s a 1 year old, 90 gallon set-up that was already torn down (the guy is moving). All-Glass Cherry stand, canopy, and drilled tank. Coralife Metal Halide lighting with 1 month old 10,000K German lamps, Sump with Wet/Dry...

Hello all, I am actively looking to buy an established reef tank. 90 gallon preferred, but I will consider a 75 or 55. If you know of someone selling one within a few hours of Richmond, please let me know. (I also posted this in the central Virginia regional section.) Thanks, Rick

Hello all, I hope to be buying my first saltwater tank (established) this weekend. Is there one website that has a comprehensive photo gallery of all/most of the fish, corals, etc that you would find in a typical saltwater tank? Is there one "mother of all websites" that I can use to ID...

Hello, Someday I will trade in my freshwater tanks for saltwater. I would like to see some tanks in the Chester, Colonial Heights, Petersburg, Richmond area to get ideas and learn more about the hobby. If you have an established saltwater aquariam, I'd like to see it. I live in Chester...

I have an all fancy guppy tank. I like the colors of the males. Do I need to have females in the tank or will a tank of all males "get along :D ?"
