Hey everyone just wanted to show off my newest addition. It doesnt go in an aquarium but it is surounded by "water" for now lol. My wife and I are expecting our first child, a baby boy we named him Dayton Avery Brown. Hes expected to arrive March 21. We had a 3d ultrasound done and He smiled...

Here's a pic of my new stripped hogfish, Copper. Hes been the only fish Ive been able to put in the tank with my marron clown and not end up being chased from one end of the tank to the other. He actually had the maroon clown (wich is huge compared to this guy) running and hiding. I couldnt...

I picked these up today. My wife was totally freaked out by the sea hare.

Ok guys/gals gotta rant a lil! Ok couple days ago I was in a nearby town getting some stuff for our baby thats on the way and I noticed a "pet store" that had SW fish, so me and the wife walk over to take a look and as soon as we walk in the smell of ammonia in there was so bad you could...

Hey everyone! I was just thinking about adding another fish or two to my tank. I have a 75 gallon reef with A yellow tang, maroon clown, lawnmower, and a manderin. Along with the normal CUC of a brittle star and various hermits and snails. I was thinking about getting three spotted cardinals...

Hey everyone just wanted to show off my green manderin I got yesterday for my bday! And to put everyones mind at ease my tank has been up for years and I have a pretty good pod population going, so I think he will have plenty to eat. My only concern is my maroon clown, hes very aggresive...

Hey everyone quick question, I want to drill my 75 gallon to plumb in the return lines so I dont have the white tubing going over the top of the tank. Can I do this and leave the fish in the tank? I mean I know I would have to drain the water below the level i want to drill. Is this possible...

Hey everyone, I have had a hair algea problem recently and have taken all the steps to rid me of this problem. Shortened time lights where on, from 12 to 10 hours a day, replaced the bulbs, quit feeding the mysis shrimp and only feeding pellets every other day and feeding a small piece of sea...

hey everyone! I have a feather duster on one of my rocks that used to come out all the time. I noticed a couple weeks ago that it wasnt comin out anymore. I assumed the worst, but a couple of nights in a row now I have seen it coming out after the lights go out. Anyone seen this before?

Hey everyone. I think Im ready for an anemone. Can anyone recommend one? wich one is easiest to care for? are their any that are NOT reef safe? thanks for your comments. I LOVE THIS SITE!

If this emerald crab i bought last week doesnt stop eating my corline off my rocks hes goin in the sump! grrrrr

Well when i woke up this morning and walked by the tank i noticed my turbo snail was on the intake side of one of my PH's well i unplugged the PH and the turbo fell to the bottom of the tank dead of course. My question is should i leave him for the hermits and emerald to clean up or take him...

hey everyone i noticed today that i had some aiptasia pop up on my SS. I scooped it out and pitched it. But where did it come from? Ive had the tank up for about 6 mos and havent noticed any, and this tank was set up for at least 5 yrs before i got it with no aiptasia and now after buying...

hey all. I have just lost my first fish, a blue damselfish. As soon as i put him in the tank, my maroon clown instantly started harassing him, I hoped it would pass and it was just the maroon asserting his authority(i know the maroon is a damsel). I fed them and the damsel ate just fine and...

Hey all, Me and the wife bought a maroon clown around the first of Feb, Its doin great and is about 3 inches long. My wife wants another one. But my LFS said thats not possible with maroon clowns. Has anyone tried to add another maroon clown that wasnt mated? Is this possible? Thanks for the...

I finally felt comfortable enough to get another fish. My yellow tang has been in there by himself for a while now. (he was the only fish that came in the tank when i got it) they seem to get along fine both seem happy and the maroon clown is eating.

Ok so im topping off my water level today. My yellow tang was nipping at some of the cc substrate when i looked up he had a piece "attached" to him. kinda freaked me and him out he jerked around a little and it fell off. When it did something about it caught my eye so i started "fishing" the...

Ive found a coral beauty angel, a sub-adult banggai cardinal on craigslist for sale for $40 for both. Is this a good price? And can i put them in my 75 gallon tank with one yellow tang? this tank has been up and running for about 5 years Ive had it for about 6 weeks. This guy also has a hippo...

Finally got a new light its a 48" current nova extreme 4x54! Bought it off craigslist (sweet deal). My tank looks SO much better. (just had a couple halogens on there before).

I know this might be a stupid question but on my skimmer there is an adjustment on the air hose so i can adjust how much air the pump pulls into it. Is that open? does yours have that?

Heres some pics of my free 75g sw setup. Granted i had a ton of cleaning to do and am totally amazed that the yellow tang survived. Amonia was thru the roof, no charcoal in the refuge and salt creep everywhere you could barely see thru the glass when i picked it up. Its my first aquarium and...

Hey all. just wanted to say hi and let you know i am brand new aquarium owner. Ive wanted one for years but the initial cost made me leary of it. Well an aqquaintance of mine called me the other day and offered me a deal i couldnt pass up, his complete established setup if i would just come and...
