During my latest water change i noticed a few small white/transparent worms too tiny to photograph. I have not added anything new to my tank in 4 months and when i do i use iodine based coral dips. Additionally, when i started my tank over a year ago i used both dry rock and dry sand. Anyone...

I have had some bad luck these past weeks trying to affix one of my soft corals to one of my Live Rocks. Since i received it from LA awhile back the 3pieces of rock it was attached to broke off and remained kind of useless,so i have been propping it up with a bamboo stick. I have used both...

just curious if anyone will be doing this soon if so pm me thanks.

So i haven't posted here in a while because things were going pretty awesome with my tank over these past few months and i have been fairly busy with life etc. Anyways i had a story i wanted to tell pertaining to my tank and a roadblock i ran into in the past 24 hours. Months ago i...

this is one of those moment you ask yourself why me? i have been battleing this for a few weeks now i stepped up pwc to every other day (i do a 10% water change.) I ordered a CUC and cut back dramatically on feedings. So far no results. i guess i have to attribute this to using tap cause i do...

I was going to get a 453nm blue to suppliment my marineland "reef capable" light just to really bring out the colors of the greens. will there be any other benefits of adding this little strip because i cant seem to find a par reading or anything. Thanks

So the other day my Fire shrimp molted but now is body has some blotches on it like its not red where it should be and his antenna are smaller. Any ideas what could be wrong.

for those of you who know this fan i am sure you already know how hard it is to keep. I was just curious if anyone on here as kept one successfully and if so how did you accomplish that. I might be in the market for one if my fate allows it lol thanks

Ok my 25 gallon nano reef has been set up and running for 10 months almost 11. I Have 50 lbs of LR. Since the beginning i have been running it with a HOB bio wheel filter. I do not have a skimmer since most suggested it would be kind of an over kill. Now that my Rock is all alive can i ditch the...

The other i picked up a Neon Green Palau Nephthea. its uses both photosynthesis and needs to be fed foods designed for filter feeders. Nowhere can i find how frequently i should feed it. I purchased marine snow from my lfs and he said for one frag feed it once a week. Can someone here include me...

A little while ago i made a more"economical" and less knowledgeable purchase of the marine led reef capable light. Like many of us before we do extreme research we see reef capable and think bingo that made it easy. So i have had a failure with a pretty nice Sps even though i kept within the...

As one of my gifts for my bday my awesome girlfriend gave me a gift certificate to liveaquaria as one of my many schweet presents w00t time for some sweet orders. :)

For about 3 weeks now my pseudo bite the sand bed carries the sand to a piece of lr and spits it out. my tank looks like Christmas time and its getting kind of annoying anyone have this happen b4?

I just stumbled on this website and i found it pretty informative. As someone who kind of struggled with understanding a few of the more complex aspects of lighting this breaks it down into a moderate reading experience. I thought i would share it with you guys. Enjoy: Aquarium Lighting; Reef...

Just saw this amazing coral at my LFS i will prob be picking it up with the next 2 weeks. But i am a bit confused i have read that is a SPS from the ORA website yet many people refer to it as a LPS with sweeper tentacles can anyone clear this up for me? Incase you havent seen one check this...

So the other day i picked up a pretty choice light purple/blue acropora frag with a symboic relationship. if you look closely you can see a little crab living with it. Before i placed it in the tank i had to remove the crab so i could dip my acropora in a reef dip. My question is: Is my...

After some research: i found out that without the proper amount of magnesium coral cannot use the calcium present in the tank. Therefore, if your calcium levels drop a certain amount of calcium a day can i assume that i have the proper amount of magnesium. This is just temporary cause my LFS...

I feel that i have been getting inaccurate results due to minor discrepancy in color changes. When you read the directions its stats that it is completed once it changes from pink to blue yet fails to mention an intermediate color of purplish blue. is the the intermediate purplish blue the...

Since i have started purchasing coral recently i was curious what the general consensus was for max $ on a frag not a colony that people are willing to spend. I noticed there are a lucky free who don't have to spend anything cause they have friends with colonies. IMO i would not spend anymore...

Just a quick question: Are Bubble tip anemones safe for inverts like shrimp? i don't want to lose my fire shrimp if i get one

Back Story: So i received my birdsnest coral via mail last Wednesday when i opened the box the frag was detached from the plug and all the polyps were inside of the coral and about half way down the coral was white. Do to my inexperience in reefing i chalked that up to lack of light over the...

When acclimating corals do you turn off your lights? thanks :D

So after posting actively on this forum ( 99% of my posts are questions sorry for that) i finally decided to posts some pictures of my tank right before i get my shipment of corals tomorrow WOOT! lol (8 months in the making) I have lost some good fish and went through some hellish trials to get...

A little over a month has past on my nano Tank with 10lbs of dry rock and dry sand. It has just finished it's cycle and i am at a turning point originally i was going to turn it into a nano reef, but now i was thinking about turning it into a dwarf seahorse species tank. I know they are not...
