THIS IS IMPORTANT. WE ALL NEED TO COMMENT ON THIS RIGHT NOW!!! MASNA Blog - MASNA Response to ESA Listing for 82 Coral Species coming today MASNA Blog - MASNA submits its response to the proposed ESA listings of multiple corals...

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I have been active here, due to many factors. I have decided to focus most of my free time into this subject. The following is a re-post a large summary that I put together and posted originally on RC, and I have also posted it on a couple other forums...

I just set up this glass tank after moving everything from an acrylic tank that had a crack: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f20/turbos-reef-project-141630.html Now I have noticed this: I've read plenty about the 'typical AGA silicone job' and I've seen tanks in stores with bubbles...

Ever since I bought a 92 Corner Bowfront tank and started maintaining the tank owned by the guy I bought it from, I've been itching to set up my first saltwater tank. So far, I've just been maintaining for others: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f11/tank-journal-125-reef-125546.html...

Today I was fragging some xenia and anthelia for someone and dropped a razor blade into the tank. 4 people there an no one saw it happen. Can't find it. It's gold colored and titanium coated. I got a magnet from an old algae scraper and I'm going to attach it to a stick and go fishing. If...

This guy has come under fire for cruelty to aminals. What do you think? Magnets? Tiny hidden bags / chambers for fish? YouTube - [1080HD] Magic show - "Wishing for you to get lots of fish year after year !" divx Pretty cool...

I'm just trying to justify this. I sold my 92 corner bow, my 55, and I'm selling just about everything else I don't need and putting everything on hold (except my 10g planted 2 w/fry) until at least mid-summer (when I find out if I passed my PE) Today, I found a local person selling a used 125...

I have long been wanting to convert my 55 FW to a SW tank. Since I'm taking my PE (Professional Engineer) License exam on 4/8, I decided to sell and/or give away all the fish and plants. Then I got an offer from someone to buy my 55, stand, gravel, and light for $75. So yesterday, I gave away...

I just got one of these for a reef tank I maintain: Titanium Heater with JBJ TRUE TEMP Digital Controller - English I got the one with the 300W heater. I have to say that right away I can tell this is a VASTLY superior heating system. The heater unit is titanium w/plastic shield The heater...

#1 I need an ID on this coral, and #2 a possible explanation for discoloration. It used to look like this But after I moved it a couple times in a week (which it usually will recover from) and then switched out the lights from the stock lamps (8 x T5HO Nova Extreme) to ATIs and Geisemann...

I found 2 of these in the tank today. I think they're bristleworms, I've found one before, but it was a while ago. The first one here has not hardly moved from this spot in days: It's coiled up on the rock, just above the center of the pic. The second one I just spotted today. Harder to...

Does anyone have any experience in reading the test results for the Salifert Iodine test kit? There's one test for Iodide that seems pretty easy to read, but the combined Iodate/Iodine kit is difficult. I can't tell if it's reading zero or what, the coloration, if any, it almost imperceptible...

The reef tank I maintain has always needed Alk dosing, I've been using Brightwell Alkalin8.3-P and Seachem Reef Advantage Calcium also. Recently I started testing Strontium and Iodide/Iodate (both Salifert) and those are pretty much zero, so I bought Seachem Strontium and Seachem Iodide. I...

This is heartbreaking. Our LFS got a 1500 gallon used acrylic tank a few months ago. They have been working on setting it up since then. They filled it today and at 12:30 pm, the bottom seam along the back gave out and it emptied in less than 5 seconds. The owner was STANDING BEHIND THE TANK...

I started this thread http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f11/i-found-another-tank-in-trouble-136317.html But wanted a specific question addressed, related to this Clarkii Clown He swims around head-up or at an angle. He doesn't seem to be able or willing to swim head-down or level...

This week, I'm going to be looking at another system maintained by an LFS. I've been told that the owner of this LFS considers the local Reef Society "the enemy". This is probably because he's a total jerk in the first place, and because his idea of tank maintenance is to do a 20% PWC once a...

I sold my 92 Corner Bowfront reef setup after a year of it sitting in my garage taking up space and basically sitting as equity. I was torn on letting it go, but I have lifted myself back up! I got approval from my better half to convert my 55g FW community planted tank into a reef system. In...

I was reading up on Durso Standpipes and there was a part in one DIY page that suggested the use of teflon tape wrapped 3 times around a pipe to go into another fitting, saying it would ensure a tight fit. Exploded Parts List - Page 4 This leads me to my question. For my tank to sump piping...

My first article, inspired by all the talk about Purigen recently. I hope to write more in the future based on my personal experiences How to "Recharge" Seachem Purigen One that comes to mind is how to sand/polish scratches out of an acrylic aquarium.

I created an account under the articles area (I thought it seemed odd that it asked for a separate 'authors' login, but ok) and I got a confirmation e-mail with my username (same username as this) and password but it doesn't work. So I click on "forgot password" where it leads you to a page...

I have a question regarding my water parameters for this tank http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f11/tank-journal-125-reef-125546.html I have been consistently testing and recording for about a year. Over the last 3 months, I have made some major changes to the system, mainly added a bunch...

Our local reef club has a group buy for reefgeek that ends today. I want to replace the 48" T5HO lamps on this tank http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f11/tank-journal-125-reef-125546.html It runs a Nova Extreme w/8 T5HOs, right now just the factory bulbs which are 4x actinic and 4x...

After about a month sitting all alone in my 10g, one of my painted swords finally dropped her batch of fry! I figured it out when I was cleaning w/python and uh oh - that's not fish poop getting sucked up!!! Rescued 3 from the line but at least 2 made it into the toilet. Got mama out a few...
