I am in this hobby just over a year now, and have learned a lot from this community. I have taken tips and tried things with success. Now is my turn to add some value back :) One dilemma I have come across is when someone else needs to care for my tank in my absence. Mainly feeding times...

Hi, I've had my BTA for several months now. And like I should expect, this one is not satisfied and moves around the tank. Currently, the BTA is near the water line, up against the back wall. My concern is performing a water change. I have a 29 gal and replace 4.5 gals of water which brings...

I have had my tank one year now, and have learned a lot. Yet, there are new questions that have come to mind. And I don't ever expect to know everything, but at that same time I have to ask now and then. My LFS guy is pretty cool and very knowledgeable. He has provided me with much of my...

I got this from my LFS about a month ago. They had gotten a bunch of frags in and this one caught my eye. I forgot to ask the name, and since it was so long ago the guys at the store couldn't remember. Here is a photo, and at times small sweepers will come out. The disk it is sitting on is a...

I've had this sea star about a month and seems to be doing well. Some days, it seems like 'Hollywood' never moves. And other times, he seems to be cruisin' along.

Recently picked this up at my LFS. It has pretty much become every visitor's favorite piece in the aquarium.

Hi, a few days ago I noticed my orange plate was starting to look stiff. Now it and my green plate are definitely looking somewhat light colored. It appears the center of the orange plate is full of white something. My fox coral is also looking pretty grim, but it still has some expansion to...

I have a power compact sitting directly on top of my covered tank. The question I have is what is sufficient distance to have between ricordea mushrooms and the top? A little history to explain my purpose.... Several months back I bought a single Blue ricordea mushroom on a small rock. The...

In my 29 gal (which is 36" long by 12" deep), I have smooth live sand with about 60% coverage of live rock. I have a Conch that likes to roam but he hasn't learned to stay away from my plates and rose brain coral. I am wondering how this idea sounds to some: Create a tier in the sand by...

So I have had my tank running for just over 5 months now. I have a Hang-On Protein Skimmer by CPR Aquatics and it seems to work fine. I am curious to know if there is a way to measure your bio load within the tank. I have a 29gal and do a 10% WC every 2 weeks. Thanks for the advice.

Hi everyone, I am pleased to say that I have finally filled an empty 29gal tank. I have 30lbs of LR, 20lbs of live sand, several different mushrooms, toadstool, fox coral, rose brain coral, chili pepper, and a few plates. I visited a LFS and learned how to take a slow approach. I have had it...
