So, it's been forever since I posted anything. Thought I would share. Everything is great in the tank. I've had no problems and everything grows like a weed in my tank. All the SPS were no more than one inch frags less thana year ago! Here's some pics: The second is slightly older. I have...

I have read up on Marine Betta and asked a few LFS's but want the skinny from someone who may have experience with this beautiful fish. I understand it's requirements as far as food and environment. My question is mostly with the tank mates it would have. In a 60 X 24 tank, I will house the...

I have a rock with some zoanthids on it. I have notice gravel pile up on one section of the rock. I thought it was my closed loop return doing it. I shook the rock off and one or two days later, the gravel is there again. This evening I witnessed a long, very thin, almost clear - milky white...

Hey everyone, So, I had this gorgeous 46 Gallon bow front tank that I set up with the help of Big Al's teenage employees. :rolleyes: No sump, crappy - yet expensive - HOB skimmer with no way to adjust, 2 mediocre lights, etc.....regardless, it was beautiful. Actually won tank of the month on...

How do you siphon water from the sump without some type of mechanical aid? I have heard many say they do water changes out and into their sump. Getting the water in is easy, just not sure how do get it out :ponder2:

Hi, I ordered some Red Dragon Pumps for my 125 setup. I need one for my return and one for my closed loop. My LFS told me today they were not available and it could be 2 months before I might get them. That sucks! Tried a few places in the IS and Canada, no one has any Red Dragons. So, my LFS...

I ordered a custom tank from Marineland. A 48 X 24 X 20 peninsula tank with 3 sides Starphyre glass, coast to coast overflow, drilled for closed loop and euro braced. The cost was $1200 CAD. 1st tank was bad. The euro brace was upside down on 3 sides. One long side was not square making the euro...

I am upgrading from a 46 gal to a 125 gallon 60 X 24 X 20. I have a pair of percula clowns. They are mated. I REALLY want a pair of Half Onyx Clowns and I know I would be asking for trouble adding them to my existing tank, but.....would I be able to have them coexist in the new tank if I added...

I will be setting up a new tank in the new year. The closed loop will have 2 pipes coming up with live rock surrounding them. I thought it would be a good idea to drill small holes - or maybe big holes - in the pipe going throught the rock to introduce flow inside the rock. i thought it would...

Here's my current 46 Gallon bow front. I am waiting for my new tank and will be upgrading to a 125 gallon in January. I really love this tank. It came out so nice, but it has no Sump and I am finding it hard to keep stable. Also, I just renovated my TV room and will be doing the 125 as a...

Sooo, I have a beautiful 46 gallon bow front reef tank, however, I set it up without a sump or refugium and the glass is a bit scratched from my cichlid days. So, I was going to switch out the tank and have it drilled and a sump, yadda yadda yadda. Now, I have decided to move my recording...

I just aquired a beautiful piece of Echinophyllia. I don't recall seeing brown on it at the store, but I definitely have some on it now. Is this simply it's way of acclimating? Or is there something I need to do to help it out before it dies on me? Nothing seems to be bothering it. My water...

Just saw this snail on the cord for my skimmer. Is he cool? or should I get him out of there? thanks

Just noticed this today. Only had it for a couple of weeks, but it has been growing and doing well till today. All my water parameters are good. No sign of anything out of the ordinary. The rest of it is ok, but this one corner in the front looks like this: Any input would be appreciated. Thanksl

I know there is a chance a Copperband Butterfly may nip at my corals, and most certainly clean out all the small feather dusters and my big christmas tree duster, but what about a flame scallop? I know they like clams. Trying to weight he pros and cons of this fish. Thanks for any input...

A couple of these guys seemed to have popped up from my live rock. Good or bad? These are the best pics I could get. Click on the pics to see it better. Thanks!

After many, many years of Freshwater Tanks I am ready to take the plunge (pun intended) into a saltwater aquarium. Since day one, like most enthusiasts, this has been my true desire. So, I have a 46 gal Bowed Front Tank, EHEIM Professional II canister filter, Turbofloater Multi Skimmer rated...
