Hi guys, after almost a year exactly of looking at my empty 65 sitting in the living room and the buckets of rock on the deck my wife finally laid down an ultimatum I have to either set it back up or she was going to give it away. Between her threat and the guys at the local fish store bugging...

Found this little hitchhiker on a coral frag I ordered from Dr Foster & Smith. I'm pretty sure it's just a small tube worm, but figured I would put it out for debate. This pic is of the tube with the head drawn back in

Hello all, I need some help with my above tank fuge. The basic set up is that I took a cheapo 5 gallon desktop aquarium I had laying around the house and drilled it for return and drain lines similar to a HOB fuge. The whole thing sits a few inches above and to the side of my display thank...

Ok, it's my turn to freak out over the early algae blooms. I knew to expect diatoms and was actually happy to see the brown spots popping up on the sand. Now I'm starting to worry because the brown spots have stopped spreading and I've got tiny little tufts of what I'm guessing is hair algae...

I finally got my 65 (36x18x24) up and running. Everything seems to be going well... never been so excited to see brown algae spots growing in a tank. Most of the rock is from Marcorocks with about 2lbs of rubble the LFS had to get my cycle kick started until they could put in an order for my...

It's my turn to seek you guy's opinion on lighting for my tank. I have a 65 gallon (36Lx18Wx24H) and i just purchased a SunPod 36" 2x150 watt 14K Sunpod HQI | Current What's Next (1063 model) for my tank. I'm still mostly in the planning stages for the tank, but i found a deal i just couldn't...

I'm looking for advice on what to use to mix my saltwater in. For my freshwater tanks i use the blue water jugs they sell in the camping section of walmart for my water changes since they have a nice spout on them. These just don't seem to be a very good option for mixing salt water since the...

My 65 gallon aquarium for my first SW tank finally got here! It's taken a year to finally get this blasted thing here in one piece. The real kicker... it gets here two weeks before i go on vacation, and i know better than to play with it before i leave. My wife (who was ok with the idea to start...

I'm still pretty new to dealing with protein skimmer, but i was looking at the CPR Bak-pak models and had a few questions for anyone out there who has one. My main question is does anyone have any experience with using other materials in the secondary part of the skimmer besides their creepy...

Hey all, I have a post over in the FO/FOWLR forum about my project tank I'm setting up that I'm still looking for advice on. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f45/danger-a-newbie-with-a-plan-111859.html I've noticed there are a few people here that have similar aquariums and any info on...

Hi all, I'm looking for a little bit of help with my new project tank. I want to set up the elusive "peaceful" SW community. I'm planing this to be a FOWLR though i may someday progress to some of the hardier corals. I'm also hoping to keep it pretty simple due to the lack aquarium resources her...

Hi all, I just stumbled across this place while researching for my new project tank. I hope to be able to tap the vast knowledge of the saltwater sages for my first SW set up. First, a little about me. I grew up in NC with uncles who had been keeping saltwater aquariums since the 70s so I've...
